I don't drink (alcohol, you smart asses). Is there such a thing as a good non-alcoholic beer?

I’m not sure, i also don’t drink (alcohol) but my impression was that non-alcoholic beer was pretty much for recovering alcoholics who just crave the taste of beer. So a “good” one is measured by how much it doesn’t taste like shitty beer, so if you don’t like beer, there are no good ones
That's fair. Maybe I should just stay the course.
Or for people that want to "drink beer" with friends but don't want to get drunk. Or or beer drinkers that like a nice cold beer on a hot summer's day, but have to drive home from the lake can can't spend all day drinking so they drink a few regular beers and then a few NA beers.
I do drink beer and enjoy it, but I also like HopTeas. That’s the only “non alcoholic beer” I’d recommend.
I basically always hate “fake foods” that aren’t a thing but try to emulate it, like veggie-based meat, gluten-free bread, etc.
These teas are interesting because while they hit some of the notes of beer, they’re also distinctly their own thing. So they’re not “fake beer” but just a thing enjoyable in situations you would also enjoy beer.
Yes Heineken make a zero alcohol beer and it’s really good!
Heineken is horrible.
No it’s not! It’s great!
Green bottle beer is the worst. Do not recommend.
You mean yeungling?
Green bottled beers have been many of my favourites over time. Steinlager, Carlsberg, Heineken, Taiwan Beer.
Now that I prefer sobriety and because soft drinks are so sweet, the non-alcoholic Heineken fits in very well and is surprisingly good.
All of that said, pure mineral water is great too…Along with tonic water now and again.
Alcoholic and non alcoholic are both really bad
Depends, if a person has never had beer or very limited amounts then their frame of reference is small enough that they non-alc beers could taste good, but for anyone who drinks beer they really aren't that good. There are a lot of pretty good session beers that are really low abv but still contain alcohol.
There are finally half decent IPA, hazy pales, and even stouts that are non-alc. At least in Australia.
Are you drinking non alcoholic beer for the taste? If I'm not going to drink alc/caffeine/water I'd probably go for a kombucha
Just drink water.
I enjoyed O'Doul's. 😊
Yes. Brew Dog and Athletic makes good NA craft beer.
Adnams “Ghost Ship 0.5%”low-alcohol pale ale is great if you want to be naughty
Any alcoholic beer that tastes like crap, e.g Heineken, Budweiser the 0% is even worse. The Erdinger 0% wheat beer is the best I’ve tasted. Brew dog makes a good one. Also Lucky Saint. Doom Bar is a nice ale
