3 years sober and the one thing i missed was the taste of Guinness. Bought some of this 0.0 stuff today and *goddamn* that hits the spot. Being only 60 calories a can is nice, too.
It’s probably the best 0% you can get, it tastes good and looks right. Most 0% beers taste like lightly flavoured water but this is good, even the texture. Works well in cooking too, put some in beef stew and was great
Not sure where you're from but Athletic Brewing company here in the States makes a very good NA brew. But I do think this new Guinness is very good indeed.
@@bored742 I’ve learnt in that time that the friends I thought where friends, where really just associates with drinking disorders and that there’s life else where than a pub .👍
@@bored742 - rubbish. I've been intermittently 'dry' for months on end many times over the years (when training heavily for big endurance events) and it makes no difference. It's how the individual reacts to being alcohol free that counts.
Will always be able to tell the difference but it's a great option and probably the best 0.0 option on the market. I also believe it will only get better form here. Not only a game changer by Guinness, but a possible life saver. Also lets those off the drink to fit in. I would much rather have all my mates around for an evening than those worrying about driving home etc. Great content fan from Canada here.
Ever since I've been sober Guinness 00 is the only pint i drink coz all the non alcoholic lagers just taste like wheetabix and this just about hits the spot. Absolute god send.
If you were on a night out and had a Guinness zero in between your normal pints You would still have a good time and no would know and you would be feeling much better the next day.
I'm so happy about this. Having a pint of Guinness once or twice a week was my routine for years. Then chemo damaged my liver, and I had to stop drinking all alcohol. Not such a big deal, really, but I did miss Guinness. Thanks for reviewing 0.0!
Very interesting video. I'm in England, we haven't got that yet and I'm a real ale drinker usually, but I'd like to give this a try as a pint of Guinness is always a nice change.
@@Mrose19911 October 26th of last year, I fell into a depression that led into me drinking an entire bottle of red wine. After finishing the bottle, my response was to drive to the store and purchase two more. I drank half of the second bottle before inevitability passing out. Eventually, I woke up to red vomit that was a mixture of wine and blood. It was laying on the bathroom floor in the fetal position, head pounding from my hangover that I realized just how close I got to dying from a developing addiction. In that moment, the only thing that I could think about was how I haven't been to my nephew's birthdays in a while and if I had continued, I wouldn't have been to them again. Also, my mom would have had to have buried her first son the same way she buried her first husband. I couldn't even bring myself to cry, all I felt was shame. But in that moment, I used it as a humbling experience to finally make meaningful changes to my life and make my late father proud by not succumbing to addiction. As much as I miss the quality of drinks like Guinness from time to time, I do not miss the way the alcohol made me feel. And as hard as this year has been, I now no longer feel that urge and am much happier with myself.
@@ClvrBstrd i’m proud of you, but i highly doubt your vomit had any blood in it or that you actually got anywhere close to actually dying…good on you for realizing the potential harm you would eventually do to yourself and your loved ones and taking action to nip it in the bud, though. 5 years clean from shooting heroin myself and i know just how hard it is.
My auld fella, a Belfast man, shouldn't drink alcohol now due to medication, and he and I love the Guinness, so we had to try it here in the UK when they brought it out last year in the can. You can certainly tell which is which, as you say, it does taste a bit watery. But overall I thought it was pretty good and I'd happily drink it if I was driving or the 'real' one wasn't available. I did hear that the can is coming back to the UK in september, but I'd love to the special can and pouring machine in the pubs here. :-)
Dunnes /Ireland ,the only shop i have seen it so far in Dublin sell 4 of 500 ml cans for 6 Euros .Regular Guinness 8 Euros . I like it .Its the first 0% beer beverage i have liked .
Get yourself down to cong the little town in county Mayo. Honestly nearly every bar down there has unbelievable Guinness. I’m from Derry and I travel down for the Guinness just as much as the salmon. Great channel man, All the best 💚🇮🇪
i thought the whole point of the microdraught system and Guinness was consistency no matter where you are. how exactly does one place have “better” Guinness than another? i’m genuinely curious
They will never put it into a keg, most pubs couldn't afford the space plus new taps, even Heineken had to build the Blade to stock and sell their 00 stuff.
@@decryan45 WHAT I mean WHAT? I really really really hope you have nothing to do with the pub trade. Beer lines should be cleaned every few days preferably or every seven days at the very most, alcohol or not. Alcohol in the lines has absolutely nothing to do with it.
@@NapoleonDynamites Most places do it every 3 weeks now. Some pub chains actually are pushing for 6 weeks now cos they have the new lines which use the magnets on them. We do ours every 7 days, we do our cask lines more often cos we do it in between barrels, but keg lines are just done once a week.
I don't like the 'watery' and warm Draught Guinness in cans. I much prefer well chilled bottles of 'Extra Stout' rated at 6%. At home just one 375ml bottle a day REALLY helps my sense of 'well-being' and is better than drinking multiple cans of "OO". If I was drinking in a pub though I'd go "00" all night and be able to safely drive home. I have had multiple zero alcohol beer tastings from all nations and always keep Carlton Zero and Coopers Ultra Light in my fridge here in Australia but there is NOTHING like a Guinness! They are to be commended for developing such a spectacular product and rolling it out so efficiently! Cheers, David Myers, Digital Masters Australasia.
I understand it's a great option for people who have to give up alcohol for health reasons or for drivers but to me its it's like eating cornflakes with water instead of milk or mashed potatoes without butter .
Great to have this option. Been waiting for a while and can't wait to try it. Had few Islans Edge stout by Heineken.. Didn't like it at all. Will check it on my regulars without telling them and let you know how they reacted :)
I don’t really drink anymore but I did have a weakness for Guinness when I did. It does well here in the US with the older crowd like myself. I think a few of the younger people do but not like my age people or older.
I heard this came out earlier this year but the batches got contaminated or something. I finally got my hands on it last week and as a non alcohol drinker, I stopped in 2003, I’m gobsmacked with the taste and creaminess. I doubt I’ll be going going back to non alcoholic lager and speaking of which, I’ve tried them all and the Lidl brand is the best for lager taste, with Aldi second. Heineken is the worst out of all the big brands. Put this Guinness in the fridge for a few hours and let it fall into a tall glass in one go and sit back and enjoy. Seriously it’s made me appreciate the simple things in life again it’s that good. In fact I could live on it!
It's delicious. But trying to find a regular supply in the UK is a nightmare. It's hardly stocked in in any of the big chain supermarkets. More chance of buying a unicorn that poops rainbows. I search every day and try and stockpile
See, “yeah, it will do” is exactly what I need it to do lol. I don’t need a 100% simulation of alcohol because I don’t drink anymore. I need it to just be enough.
realistically AND scientifically, you are wrong. ethanol has no flavor, just a sensation, and that’s talking PURE ethanol like Everclear, you certainly would struggle to taste it in any way whatsoever at the low percentages at which it’s a component of beer, if it wasn’t impossible altogether.
i also quit drinking .. for the fourth time today 🍺👨🦰🍺🍺🥴.. in fact i quit often .. i quit every time my glass is empty 😵🤪🙃😝 .. to everybody else who only quit once; ---------------- good job
@bobby ewin A lot of auld lads wouldn’t know or do metric stuff at all. Still talk in pints, pounds and miles instead of mls kgs and kms. A pint is 20 ounces and 1/8th of gallon. How many people under the age of 40 know that off the top of their head?
@@zoso7889 better question would be "why the fuck would a person under the age of 40 care about imperial measurements when it's literally dated, stupid, and inaccurate in comparison to the much less complicated metric system"
I think it's the best 0% major brand. Tastes spot on . Ice cold if you'd had 3-4 pints and they started serving you 0% I would place money you had no clue. Stella Heineken etc 0% tastes nothing like the proper one it's a total different product. 0% Guinness bang on
Exactly what I was thinking it's a trick used to fill the pint when the heads too big but obviously it's disgusting who really knows how often this pub cleans taps. Also I was surprised at how oblivious the guru guy is at pouring pints he pulled the handle down quiet slowly
Great to see non-alcoholic stout. Now if they could only launch non-alcoholic Beamish that would be amazing. Beamish is so full of flavour compared to Guinness...I guess that's what makes Guinness so drinkable, the fact that it's light and not so full of flavour compared to some stouts. Guinness is everywhere, Beamish is not, so most people don't realise what they're missing out on.
I don't know if you have Morrisons supermarkets where you are but I should put a word in for this NA 'milk stout'. I can't promise you'll like it obviously but it is flavourful and interesting with none of the metallic tang of some NA beers: groceries.morrisons.com/products/big-drop-brewing-co-stout-507630011
1 pint tells you little,the prob with these all these zeros is you can only drink 1 or max 2 and they then taste crap.I hope its not the same with this,ill have to try it.If its good it would be brill for drivin to the pub again(those were the days)
If anyone here is/was a real alcoholic I don't really recommend drinking 'non alcoholic' versions, surely that's a gateway to the real thing eventually?
Everytime I drink non alcohol drinks (never had guinness though) I get a hangover the following day its a pointless exercise! I only ever drink the real Guinness and I still get a frigin headache the next day! Such is life......Slainte.....
that literally makes no sense and is impossible unless you’re allergic to something in whatever you’re drinking. you can’t have a hangover (which is quite literally alcohol withdrawal) if there is no alcohol to begin with. do you think before you say things?
