Big drop make nice low alc beer, not my favourites but make a great shandy if mixed 50 50 with lemonade

interesting info Singletrackmind, cheers : )
just realised the lame pun after typing there
You can get cider for 0.5% from Waitrose but then you are better off just drinking apple juice. 😀
+1 for Shipyard Low Tide. Only one I’ve tried that was remotely palatable IIRC. Not bad at all.
This reminded me that I really liked Lucky Saint 0.5% lager when I had it in a burger place. Now to see if I can track it down anywhere to take home

Punk AF is my current favourite, it uses lactose instead of sugar so you get a better mouthfeel than Nanny State which I find a bit thin. Heard good things about Ghost Ship and if they've got it tasting like the regular version it'll be good.
Just realised I'm typing this while drinking a barley wine 🍻
Looks like it is, will have to see if my.local one has it next time I'm in
Punk AF, horrific after taste. Yukky.
I binned it after 1 gulp and opened a doom bar
Tried the M&S Czech lager over the holiday and have to say it reminded me of Kaliber ........but the Adnams Ghost Ship was very good.
