Guiness zero

Also a very thin line between 'ah, non alcoholic beer' for an alcoholic to 'well, this is only 1.9% what harm could it do' and therefore could be seen as a deceptive lure back into their nightmare.

Personally, I have sampled a few and they can be a useful in a psychological sense when any alcohol is not optional (I am never one for 'I'll only stay for one beer before driving, I'll have a quick Stella') but for whole evenings, extended periods etc. they start to taste like the proverbial cat's urine. Not shy of a mocktail when available though! In fact sampled an 'Innocent Mimosa' yesterday, very nice.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Hmm, not getting much help here people

I won't drink the likes of Coke, I have been indoctrinated into thinking they are The Devil's semen.

to support my alcohol free days i think i've tried them all and most disappoint.

For a bog standard lager Heineken is the best by a country mile. Must be chilled. Number 2 is possibly San Miguel. Avoid Becks Blue - awful after taste.

As mentioned Guinness is a decent effort although clearly nowhere near as good as the real thing.

The best in terms of flavour is Brooklyn lager who do a decent craft version. As it's a US beer it is actually 0.5% as supposedly the US definition of zero alcohol is higher than in the UK which is 0.05%.

Good luck

A lot of decent German ones available to me here in Hamburg (although most of the decent ones that I like are from the south).

Erdinger, Franziskaner, Paulaner, Lamsbrau are a few of my favourites. I seem to remember Erdinger and Franziskaner were also fairly easy to find when I lived in London.

If you like beer the best non alcoholic drink is the Brewdog AF, it is exactly the same as Punk IPA but without the alcohol.It is unbelievably good and I know start with a pint and drink less as a consequence.
