Non Alcoholic Beer

kris10t3

Does anyone know of a good NA beer?? Do they even taste good/even worth it? I am totally craving a beer and some pretzels right now. Ooohhh...with some spicy hummus!! YUM!!

No judgements about beer please, just suggestions if you have them. Thanks!!

No judgment here...I was craving it over the weekend! It was SO hot and all I could think was "Man, a beer would be so nice right now..." I've never tired any, but my Dad would drink O'Douls sometimes. If I remember correctly there are two kinds, and I think he drank the 'green one". Thanks for posting this - I'm curious to see what is suggested! Good luck!

It's funny but my coworkers were talking about this in the break room just today. They were saying that most of the more expensive non alcoholic beers taste like piss but that shockingly she really enjoyed Milwaukee's Best non-alcoholic option. Said it tasted the most like beer. I've never been a beer drinker so I have no experience but that's what she said.

The Busch Light NA beer is the best.... you cant tell at all that it is NA! We had it for my preggo friend at our wedding

O'Douls amber is pretty decent!

Yes, I have found this to be the best of the ones I've tried.  I also don't particularly like light beer, so I think this is the only darker option.

Kaliber- SO good. I also like O'Douls and O'Douls Amber. I actually like NA beer. Stay away from the Labatt. Yuck.

Stay away from St. Paulie's NA - it's no good either. I can't remember which NA beer I ended up drinking last time, but it was decent.

I enjoyed drinking it on my back patio in the late spring when I was 9 months pregnant with my DD --- the looks my neighbors gave me over the fence (from that distance you can't tell if it's NA or not - not that it's their business) were priceless. I stopped a couple of high school girls cold - they started whispering and couldn't stop staring. I kind of enjoyed how uncomfortable I made them

My DH and I were camping with my family over this HOT weekend... Everyone was having wine coolers and beer. I was dieing to have a beer - I even smelled it I wanted one so bad!  lol  My uncle gave me the idea of drinking N/A beer... I have no idea how I didn't think of that myself!  Thanks for the posts on which ones taste best.  I'm def. going to be picking some up.  It's over 100 degrees in MI today with the heat index!  A nice ice-cold beer sounds amazing right now

I think I may need to go on a beer run!

I haven't had any alcohol since I found out so this weekend I had a beer when SO and I went out with his friends. It doesn't taste as good as I remember and it made me super burpy and it felt like my stomach was going to explode from all the carbonation. If you're really craving a beer I would just have a really good regular one and enjoy it-I had a nasty light beer thinking it wouldn't make me bloat but it did.

I agree with this! I've tried several N/A beers and Old Milwaukee NA has been my favorite so far.

They do not taste the same, I think you'll be severely disappointed. Just have a few good sips from YH's beer the next time he has a good brew!

I live in NY towards the border, and Labbatt is king around here for beer...they make their own Labbatt N/A and even my hubby comments on how unreal it is that it tastes JUST like regular beer.Every now and then it nice to just enjoy a n/a beer with some hot wings, nothing goes better together!!!

I indulge in an NA beer on occasion. Honestly, ODouls is the only beer that tastes like beer to me. Becks NA is disgusting.  Paulaner isn't bad, but it's not in every state. If you only have one, you are safe. My doctor says NA beer is absolutely fine for you. As with anything, just don't go crazy. It may make you sick to your stomach if you have too many. Enjoy!

I like Kaliber- by the Guiness brewers.
