I tried Clausthaler Dry Hopped NA beer yesterday. Its pretty high carb (as most of these are) but a decent beer (the hops definitely help) and better than their standard offering.. It would be an OK choice if you were in a restaurant and needed a beer with dinner, esp. if it was a choice between...

Shhhh, that's my source! ;)

Totally agree. Sam Adams is insanely High Carb. On the other hand, Partake from Canada is low: Styles & Flavors · Great Tasting Non-Alcoholic Beers

I have a feeling that hopping at the beginning of a kombucha batch (while its warm) might impart antimicrobial aspects into the batch and have negative impact on the SCOBY and the ferment. I'm willing to try it though!

I was just re-reading my original post and it deserves an update. I just reached my 6 month mark of no alcohol on 30 May and it seems weird re-reading my post back on 13 Dec 2021. At that time I was just starting this experiment and at that time I had planned on going back to drinking. Today, my...

Agreed. Partake is now my goto. Hard to beat the nutrition details! Its better than Hop Water but its not going to satisfy your typical beer drinker unless you really want to embrace the NA and low carbs. Its not as tasty as Athletic, etc but its got 1/6 to 1/10th carbs but its tastier than Hop...

Good question. There are a few ways to make NA beer. One way is to due a full ferment like we all do at home or commercially and use methods to remove the alcohol. To me, that's still a beer. Grape juice isn't fermented. Wine is fermented grape juice. you can also remove the alcohol from wine...

for me personally, no. but I have my own personal reasons for limiting the booze. I'm not an evangelist and I don't judge so whatever works for others, I'm fine with. I go to social settings where I'm sipping on an Athletic (for example) and people are doing whiskey and cans of beautiful IPAs...

good point. trade off is: lose the alcohol but they add/don't ferment the sugars. that said I drink a lot less of these and I found a very low carb brand that isn't bad if you tell yourself its a really "good Hop Water".

Hey Jersey, I will look for the Erdinger! I have some Heineken 0. I can drink in a pinch in the summer and I add limes, Corona/Michelada style. p.s. my avatar was taken up in Wawayanda in West Milford. I lived in NJ for 45 years. Property taxes drove me out. I know Boonton well.

Agree. The Hop Tea is the best of the bunch! Also simple to make at home with the plethora of HB equipment I own that I have not been using in 6 months.

I've had this in Germany in the past (on business). In Europe NA beer is a serious thing. You drunk drive there, you are seriously in trouble. So, there's a real market for NA beers. I have had Weihen- Hefe NA and I think I could easily make it a go to dinner sipper. I was in Portugal in April...

Yep, its pretty good times for beer loving sober folk. :)

Great post, thanks for sharing. As a long time BP med taker (I'm 56, and I've been on meds since my late 30's!) I've always struggled with it and I'm active (cyclist, former runner, climber, snow sports, etc) but my BP has barely been under control. To date my streak is 6 months no booze and my...

I tried Lagunitas too. Full disappointment.

The carb issue is my main gripe too. Sam Adams Just the Haze has a metric f-ton: 22g!. I think they're probably sweetening it. I stopped buying it due to that.

I've started making it as well. Starting to scale up as I get the hang of it.

Hi Elric, I like hop water in a pinch but its a little bland. I've actually made some, been OK with it and actually started making my own Hop Tea (attempted clones of Hoplark). I tend to like it better because rather than seltzer with a splash of hop flavor its actually tea (black, green...

Similar to the other very popular thread here "What are you drinking now?" I wanted to do one for Non-Alcoholic (NA) Beers only (and hopefully there's not already a thread for this). Why the hell would I drink NA beer??? See below** Tonight I'm drinking Athletic Brewing's Free Wave Hazy IPA...

I am also experimenting with session NEIPA recipes and found that article as well. https://www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer/slightly-mighty Did you try anything yet?
