As I’m suffering from a bout of depression (or just feeling crap depending on your perspective) alcohol needs to go. I like beer but Tesco don’t stock alcohol-free London Pride (I doubt such even exists). They do, however, stock Paulander stripped of voltage. Bought 3 bottles, drink them all and I’m loving it. I’ll be buying some other German beers that are 0%, it seems I can have the flavour but no ugly side effects. Happy days!

Good for you on liking the alcohol-free lager and I hope you come out of your depression soon 🙂

A few years ago I gave up alcohol for 6 months and at the end I was not a happy chap to be honest.

Keep it up yourself though mate.

no alc cobra is ok.

I’m glad I’m not drinking alcohol free scotch right now 😀

I like the occasional alcohol free beer. The new ones taste great not like the dodgy Kaliber ones from years ago. Having tried a few, Erdinger is the best IMO. Cobra is good, Bavaria wheat beer excellent. Still some bad ones out there though.

Weird first time you have a couple, you almost feel tipsy because your brain is fooled into thinking its beer…

Good to have after a ride too, very isotonic and no hangover.

I’d be very happy for your drinking scotch if I wasn’t peeing a gallon per 5 mins. Which I seem to be doing 😀

The awful memory of accidentally getting over the limit on 1/3 strength pish ‘beer’.

I’ll look out for Erdinger etc….

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

Thats probably because you’re too pissed to get it (-;

kevevs, that’s fine. some of us do.

and +1 for erdinger alkolholfrei being the best tasting one, closely followed by maisels weisse and schneider weisse too.

you might wanna take a look at this place:

http://www.alcoholfree.co.uk

they have a shop in oldham too if you’re nearby. cheaper than tesco for erdinger, and (obviously!) way more choice.

perhaps. but why not just have some tasty pop? or a nice cup of tea.
BTW, I’m not knocking it… this is research!

i like those as well.

nowt wrong with having a variety of options.

I wasn’t aware there was such an array of booze-free booze. Reckons I might nip to the off-licence tomorrow.

Hmm. Might try the Erdinger version.

I don’t drink but enjoy the taste of beer

most alcho free beer taste rank – like beer flavoured sweets

however, the becks blue is very nice

Maybe an off-licence is the wrong place to go for non-alcoholic drinks?

Then again, there profit margins are higher on this stuff than alcohol.

Have you tried the Super Bock Stout like? I’m tempted but without a recommendation buying 24 bottles seems a little wasteful.

beer without alcohol is like, well, beer without alcohol.

like kevevs, I’d rather have a nice brew – or even sugary fizzy water with a hint of lemon – than mock beer. In fact I do, every time I play a gig. my drums won’t drive themselves home while I have some proper beer 😉

The only problem is that when I have an alcohol free beer, I get a craving for one of these

Lol!

Beer flavour sweets are nice.

Erdinger is going to be had tonight. It’s on (what only in Ireland could be considered) an offer – 6 x 330ml bottles for E5.99.
Paulander in 0.5ltr bottles is E2.04 each but at least you get the beer jug.

Alcohol free lager…… its like licking your sisters fanny.It tastes the same but its just not right.

+1 for the becks. Bought in error by my old man but not all that bad!

I dunno, I quite like the taste of your sister, erdinger and cobra are my fav alc free beers

I like alcohol-free beer

liar

I’ve just started a year off booze, not through choice but meds. Tried the Cobra and it’s bloody disgusting, even with curry. I’m hoping that the Erdinger, Becks and Bitburger are better. Luckily I live just down the road from the alcoholfreeshop in Oldham, so I should have a good variety to sample.

BItburger is awful

I’ll also have your sister’s fanny 🙂
On my way to get some Erdinger for tea.

Really lmfao!!!!!

Me too m_f.

Mental note made. Must remember that one.

Six bavaria wheat at asda for about two quid!

I like alcofree beer

Erdinger tastes lovely!

I drink alcohol free beer because I have epilepsey, and alcohol lowers seizure threshold, so rather than drink and discover at 4 in the morning “shit that was one too many”, I’ve gone down the alcohol free route, and have not had a proper drink in nearly 18 months. Had a glass or two of bubbly a a wedding a few weeks ago, didn’t feel like I’d missed anything.

Will look for the Erdinger as I’ve been on Becks & the Tesco Bavaria alcofrei stuff.

having a bottle of erdinger alkoholfrei right now while i’m waiting for an apple crumble to cook. and my gf’s drinking crabbies alcoholic ginger beer. she drinks booze; i don’t.

The Bavaria stuff tastes nice.

I have red wine for after the chores are done
