Alcohol-Free Beer

Really don’t see the point of alcohol free beer.

If something tastes like be I expect it to contain alcohol and have the desired effect.
I'm an alcoholic, I can't stand fizzy drinks, but I sometimes want something fizzy and cold and an alcohol free beer hits the spot.
 
At Xmas I had to take my sons partner to his workplace in the centre of Leeds for 8.30 on Boxing Day and then over to York for my lad so Xmas Day was alcohol Free beers. I found Guinness 0.0% performed and tasted like the real cans of draught Guinness and that Infinite Session IPA tastes like proper beer plus Perlenbacher 0% lager from Lidl is ok. I have persisted with it since then and saw my GP this week and the blood is no longer in the diabetic range and pressure is "perfect" as she said 128 over 70 ( never understood what that meant ) - I still enjoy a glass or glasses of wine and the odd scotch but will persist as its paying off. In my view alcohol free beers have come on loads in the last decade
Guinness 0.0% in cans the best of the widely available UK non-alc. options.; had it at a gig recently when I'd had too much the night before.

The Germans do it best; Jever Fun actually tastes like beer.

Never seen anyone drinking N/A beer at the Etihad.
 
I've tried a few recently, as whilst I don't even come close to drinking too much, I thought cutting down a little might be wise.

As others have said the 0% Guinness is good, but my favourite is the Erdinger 0% wheat beer. That really is very good. The dirt cheap lager from Lidl "Perlanbacher" isn't too bad either, and it's just 50p a bottle.

It's a fair comment, especially as it pretty much costs the same. Does allow for people (blokes mainly) to have a 'proper' drink and still drive though. For example tonight I'll be at a wedding reception, where they will certainly be some alcohol free Guinness. I'll have two pints of the proper stuff and two cans of the 0%.
