    Thought it would be better on a new thread for folk to give us their recommendations, there's a few on the board at the minute but they're getting mixed up in other threads. So whilst we are in Dry January it seems the perfect month.

    It's not a thread for the "don't understand why" posts, just the ones who have taste tested and recommend.

    My three so far:
    - Guinness 0.00%
    - Brewdog Punk AF
    - Leffe 0.0%

    Big Drop Pine Trail Pale Ale
    Big Drop Reef Point Lager
    Barbican (not sure if its meant to be a lager or what) is ok
    Brew Dog Punk AF
    I'm not minding Athletic Brewings Upside Dawn but not sure if its the taste or the fact that I managed to get 24 cans for £7 :)

    Alcohol free Guinness is very good.

    Wiper and True's 0.5% stuff is some of the best out there for me, if you can track it down.

    Jupiler 0.0 is my favourite lager. 33cl cans. Half a can of Becks topped up to a pint with a can of Jupiler makes a palatable and refreshing low alcohol tipple.

    Stouts seem to translate well and there are plenty out there to try.


    I'm not a pale ale drinker and mid-amber/chestnut/ruby low alcohol ales seem few and far between so I'm open to recommendations on that front.

    you get the idea.
    Just don’t get why non alcoholic beer is a thing, you’re either drinking or you’re not. Save your money.

    Guiness 0%. Or Erdinger 0%. They are the best imho.

    Man City's sponsor just reminded me, Asahi 0.0%. I had some cans of that before Christmas another thumbs up.

    Erdinger is best I've had. Guiness zero also very good if you like stout.

    Personally, I prefer the taste of Guinness 0.0 to the majority of the options you've mentioned there. In many places, a pint of alcohol free Guinness isn't much more expensive than a pint of Pepsi Max.

    On this subject, any alcohol free wine recommendations? Preferably red, but any colour will do.
