I want a cute, non alcoholic canned cocktail that isn't 0 cal 0 sugar. I'm sober because I have control issues, not for dietary issues. Corona Sunbrew with lime and ice is my favourite na beer but I haven't found a satisfying na canned cocktail. I wonder if these are available in Alberta, I work in rehab and know more than a few ladies who would like this sort of drink.

Good review! many of these are real Whiskey/Tequila/etc. and they remove the alcohol... I agree the Old Fashioned has a low flavor profile... sooner rather then later they will come out with non-alcohol Whiskey that burns like the real thing.

They're both pretty solid. Just a suggestion: How about a video where two breweries go head to head in a blind taste test. For Example, Go vs. Athletic: Burn it Down vs. Run Wild Prophets vs. Free Wave Savage Lite vs. Athletic Lite Head On vs. Athletic Golden

How is their porter style? Most NA roasty styles felt too watery + low carbonation, a combo I don't care for. I wonder if Go Brewing's porter is any better in terms of mouthfeel?
@theNAaficionado
@theNAaficionado 3 месяца назад
The porter is sold out right now but I have tried it. It’s smooth and full flavored. I would say the batch I had was not watery but at the same time it wasn’t overly carbonated. I hope they bring it back with a fresh run so we can try it again!

@@tyleryeatts5413 “Alcohol Free” is anything that is less than .05%. That’s your best bet if you are worried about the trace amount. I was the same way, stuck with hop water. It’s worth noting that things like orange juice and ripe bananas have more % alcohol than .5% NA beer! I hope you find something you’re comfortable with and enjoy 👍🏻

They're a popular local brewery. One of the more IPA focused ones that distribute all over MN anf WI. However when I tried their golden NA (pale light lager), it had a weird wort taste to it? Don't exactly know what it was, could have been expired or just a one off. That's the thing - microbreweries somehow never seem to print "canning dates" ON THE BOX. Bauhaus comes in 6 packs without a box, so you need to awkwardly flip the pack to check the bottom of the cans for an expiration date, which is often never visible AND in old julian codec. Super frustrating and probably one of the reasons I stopped buying from certain local breweries. Great video nevertheless.

It's nice that the non-alcoholic beverage market is expanding. Having said that however, diversity of options -- _Pils, Dunkel, Hefe, Bock, Duvel, Tripel, Quad, Saison, Scotch Dark, Scotch Heavy, English Brown, English Pale, Irish Amber, Pastry Stout, Brown Lager, Vienna Lager, Porter, Wild Ale, Lambic, etc_ -- are severely lacking in the US. I had to drive an hour to get to the biggest liquor store in town only to find a tiny section at the back, not even a single shelf, dedicated to NA beers of less than 8 brands total. Out of which only 3 types exist: Macro Blonde Lagers, Hoppy Ales, and Sours. If you enjoy one of these "trendy" types then good for you, but they were simply not for me even before I went sober. Weissbier from Weihenstephaner used to be my go-to but I now have to order it online which can be costly. So I opt for Clausthaler these days. Surprisingly good enough but given that it's the only one I actually enjoy out of the ones available to me, that's not saying much.
