I’ll be trying the AF Guinness when I get back home
I’ve not drank lager for a long time and not sure I’d venture in AF lager land
Guinness seems to have good feedback on here.

Guiness is the one I've yet to try. I can't stand any of the no-alcohol beers, they all have that same horrid aftertaste. I'd genuinely rather drink soda water.

I managed to try Guinness 0% for the first time the other day and its sadly - for me - has that same weird aftertaste as every other zero alcohol beer I've tried.
I'm throwing in the towel with 0% alcohol beer now. I'd rather just have low alcohol or a soft drink. I've tried so many trying to find 'the one' and they are all basically shite.

I can report the opposite. Never took to Guinness in my boozing days, but the draught 0.0% has now become a staple. Really delicious and comforting.

It's really odd, I was drinking with someone else who said they liked it too. But there's just that same awful aftertaste I cannot get over.

Maybe it’s because you still drink low alcohol, the absence of ethanol is perpetually jarring in a way that fundamentalist teetotallers don’t experience any more.

Quite likely. I have the same issue with oat milk and other non dairy milks. And also zero sugar drinks or vegan chocolate etc. I can always tell if something is lacking.

Looks nice. I’ve had some supermarket-branded Belgian blondes and wheat beers that have been good, too.

I know this is supposed to be just beers but does anyone know if there’s such a thing as a decent non-alcoholic wine, that’s not just grape juice like Schloer?

It’s fizzy wine but the Freixenet 0% is ok. Make sure it’s very cold and it’s a decent substitute as it’s nice and dry. Every other one I’ve tried has been minging.

I had one alcohol free wine the other day that tasted rank. I'm of the opinion that there is no such thing as 'tastes just like the real thing' 0% alcohol anymore. Just have a soft drink.

Definitely not true of beers any more. The draught Guinness is remarkably convincing.

I don’t generally like soft drinks though as they’re mostly for kids - fizzy and sweet.
Fizzy and sweet is also not exactly sustainable over a whole evening or in large quantities

I bought a four pack of the tinned Guinness recently and managed to quaff two in a row with pleasure. Will try the draught at the next opportunity

Was looking for non-fizzy, preferably red, but noted for next ‘occasion’ in which fizz is warranted

That’s the one I mean - draught as in widgeted. I haven’t been in an actual pub since plague times.
I haven't found one. They're also full of sugar and I feel worse in the morning than I would with ordinary wine.

Maybe i should just try some really expensive vinegar

I disagree. I'm glad it works for you but I can just taste the no alcohol aftertaste every single time, and I hate it. And that includes Guinness 0%. I'd genuinely rather just have a tonic and lemon or lime and soda water than any of these pretend alcohol drinks.

Short answer: No, don’t bother.
Longer answer: There’s some white substitutes that sort of work because they can just make them sweet. But if you want a dry, crisp white, forget it. As for reds, they’re all dreadful. Removing the alcohol seems to do terrible things to wine. I’ve read some people put a few drops of balsamic vinegar in to try and make them a bit more palatable, but I’ve never tried.

I enjoyed the Brooklyn Special Effects Alcohol Free lager. Tastes more like an IPA than a lager.
I guess IPA is just posh lager anyway

My husband has tried loads of them and to his utter surprise he's found Carlsberg to be one of the best of the bunch. It's only £3 for 4 bottles at Tesco as well. He's normally a flat beer, so he was shocked he liked it.
It's tricky to get though and often not in store, so he'll opt for Lucky Saint instead.
