Well I am not ashamed to admit I do drink zero alcohol beer at times. Usually when it is hot and I have power tools to run. I have not found any that are wonderful and there a few that are really bad, or at least to my taste. So for now I have settled on Budweiser Zero. I do hear there are some really good ones out there but availability is sparse. But here is the disclaimer: when I get done with power tools then I will drink real beer. And now for the goofiness: when I go into the supermarket they still ask to see my driver's license. Cheers!
I really like beer but quit drinking alcohol about four years ago when I got blood clots from the covid. I do have a NA beer from time to time. Best one I have found was O' Douls Amber that I was able to buy in Altoona PA when we were there for the GTG this year. Haven't been able to find it here so I buy either Bud 0⃣ or Bucsh NA. Nothing tastes any better after cutting wood than a cold beer even if it doesn't have any alcohol in it
I like the O'Douls from time to time but it seems rarely that I drink any beer. They no longer want to check my ID in the grocery store.
Many years ago and before I switched to seltzer altogether, I was on an NA beer kick and tried every one I could find. Heineken makes one, as does Guinness. They were good if you got a fresh batch, but since demand is low, chances are you’ll buy a skunky batch that’s been collecting dust for months. The absolute best one I had tasted like a microbrew but was impossible to find here in the states, which was Franziskaner Alkoholfrei beer. I remember concluding that O’Doul’s amber was the most drinkable while still readily available stateside.
My go to just going to have a beer is either Pabst or Bush. Most major breweries are going to have an NA offering. On a recent trip to PA I found Lablatts Blue and Genesee in the beer store, two I had not seen before, both were decent. NA craft beer has exploded in the last few years, there are some really good brews out there. Woodland Farms in Maine makes a nice dark brew. I tried this from them but was not a fan. Athletic Brewing in Conn has a bunch of offerings, my favorite from them. Busty Lush makes an incredible oatmeal stout. https://www.bustylush.com/story
