I've switched to alcohol free beers. They're a bit sweeter but for me it's fine.

I like drinking a beer or two sometimes during the week. It’s tasty, cool and calming. Alcohol free beer is great for that.

However most alcohol free beers don’t taste nice. Takes a bit of shopping around to find a brand that doesn’t taste like Ovomaltine.

You might already know this but a lot of no-alcohol beers are also low or no carb and they contain artificial sweetener to make them test better.

I been having no-alcohol beer with some sugar in it (93 cals a bottle). It's way way more tasty.

Brew Dog is great

So far, my favorite has been Guinness’ NA. It’s _almost_ imperceptible from the normal canned draught. My only real hangup with it is the extra plastic waste via the widget.

Another vote for Guinness NA. Mikkeller also makes good NA beers, but pricey at $24/6 pack.

I really like the Guinness NA too. But I heard someone say it had a hint of BBQ sauce to it and now I can't help but taste that when I drink it!

Likewise! I'm trying not to drink much anymore. But I always want something cold and fizzy. So it's a switch between refrigerated carafes of water, seltzer, and zero-alcohol beers. Although I feel incentivized not to have even the zero-alcohol beers since it's still 60 calories. While the seltzers I find are 0.

Any beer recommendations? I haven't tried much outside of the locally-supplied zero-alcohol Heineken and Corona.

The Bitburger NA with the blue branding is good. Don't be fooled if you don't like the normal Bitburger, imho their NA is much better :P OTOH, if you happen to like Bitburger, they also have a newer "dry NA" variant with green branding, that tastes much more like their alcoholic beer. No idea about international availability, but at least a slight chance.

For wheat beer, the bigger German what beer breweries offer a NA variant these days, and those are quite good. I'm thinking of Erdinger and Paulaner, which are probably your best bet internationally. Don't tell anyone I know, but my secret recommendation however is Öttinger NA wheat beer. Those are cheap and taste very good (fellow Germans: If you don't believe me, do a blind tasting). But don't ever the mistake of buying or even drinking their normal Pilsner/Export beer - those taste like pi... ;-)

If you're ever in Germany, is "Mönchshof Radler Alkoholfrei". Radler is "shandy", a mixture of beer and lemonade. I've yet to meet anyone who likes beer but not this.

Where? In eastern US, Athletic Brewing makes really good hoppy ales. The ones from Brooklyn Brewery are good too, but a bit heavy for my taste.

In continental Europe, Germany has a large selection of lagers, good but not great. Clausthaler is an example. Also, I like the Czech beer Staropramen.

Asahi Dry Zero has 0 alcohol, 0 calories.

My favorite is Run Wild from Athletic Brewing Co.

I checked the sugar content of one the other day and it was like 12% sugar or something ridiculous.

[jebarker]

Yeah, the average NA beer appears to have the equivalent of about 3 teaspoons of sugar. So about the same as regular beer.
