They all have their place. I drove to the rugby on Friday, had a couple of Guinness zeros, I felt like I had a good night and didn’t miss out because I was driving.
Best AFs for me are Brooklyn Special Effects and Guinness 0. The Ghost Ship is decent as well as is the Beavertown one. I always prefer a full fat beer, but AFs are great for if you're driving or if I want a beer on an evening when I have an early start at work next morning.
Agree with Guinness and ghost ship. Not tried the beaver town ones. I had a few from my local bottle shop and my main takeaway was that they’re not worth the additional cost over supermarket offerings!
I tried to buy some punk af at a local spar before 7am, they said they can’t sell alcohol before 8am. I said that’s fine, it’s alcohol free and he said it still counts as alcohol 😂 fuckin clown world
@@OathoftheAbyss I had this conversation at a self-service till as still required somebody to authorise the sale on Guinness 0.0. the answer was classification of the product is alcoholic beverage even though the alcohol has been removed... Crazy world !
Speaking of St. Austell brewery and getting out and about, you should pop down to check the brewery out. Have a tour, lovely bar as well, my home town too! 😅
Whether non alcoholic beer can be bottled conditioned is something I've wondered also. I think theoretically it could be, the problem would be that it might make it more difficult to guarantee the alcohol content was .05 or below if it sat on the shelf for a long time. That has happened with some Kombuchas that were sold here in the USA, they were labeled as non alcoholic but after sitting on the shelf the alcohol content rose as high 1.5 to to 2.5 percent and the companies that made them got in trouble. That's why we probably won't see a bottle conditioned non alcoholic beer.
A random question. Some of the low alcohol beer is brewed as normal beer and the alcohol is removed. What do they do with the alcohol which has been removed?
Reverse Osmosis is the method that removes the alcohol without heat. Usually the alcohol goes straight down the drain as doing anything else with it would require a different license from HMRC. RO is rare, expensive, but makes for really good AF beer.
never understand these beers, shandy has exsisted for a long time now if you want no alchy beer, bass beer used to make a shandy but its just the own brands now i think

"There's something missing from non alcoholic beer" 😅
It's almost there, nearly beer
St Austell's stout is called Mena Dhu. It's typically served nitrogenated on draught, and it's pretty good.
The cost of de-alcoholisation (is that a word?) is an expensive process hence the cost. And they add sugar to create more "body"
My favourite is the sainsburys Infinite Session IPA. Crucially, only 40 calories a can. The Brooklyn one is pretty good, but calorific in comparison.
I think this one is pretty convincing, I'm surprised some people are negative about it
Stella AF isn’t bad and think also brewed in Belgium rather than the UK

Alcohol free/low ABV drinks still fall under alcohol licensing laws unfortunately.
@ like I said, fuckin clown world. How can something that clearly says it’s free from alcohol, be classed as alcohol 😆
@@OathoftheAbyss probably because it's not a good look if a child is able to buy it.
In the same way it wouldn't be a good look seeing a child snorting a line of sugar 😂

Verdant Psych is worth a go, had it recently and thought it was pretty solid

Enjoy it
The most common way is to heat it up - that allows alcohol to vaporize
@@michalmichael30005 after it’s vaporised it will be condensed.. I guess it finds its way into alcopops or gin.

It's crazy how non-alcoholic beers often have so much carbs innit. Normal 5% beer has like 2,5g carbs per dl, I've seen non-alcoholic have over 5
Do Cloudwater's Fresh - it's the best.
I honestly think charging near full price for a non alcoholic drink is frankly robbery. They would be better doing it at a much lower rate
Maybe try diet pepsi/coke rather than the sugared version?
If you meant Ola Dubh Stout, it’s brewed by Harviestoun.
Proper and low alcohol are a contradiction.
The odd one or two AF beers might be okay, but many of them contain as much sugar as soft drinks.
'If I got my nose into proper job' 😅😂🤣
Whinestefaner weis and Erdinger weis, best of non alcoholic all i try
Non alcoholic Corona is surprisingly nice, probably better than the alcoholic version...
I cant do dry january. November through february are my pure stout months. March is my birthday month so no.
Dry April it is
You can’t do April because it’s my wife’s birthday Month 😅
Wait until you try Old Speckled Hen 0.5 🤮
The craft breweries will excel at lower alcohol products.
There's a place for N.A. beers? Yep, In the trash can. How could you Simon?😂
Should be called not even arf a job 😂
never understand these beers, shandy has exsisted for a long time now if you want no alchy beer, bass beer used to make a shandy but its just the own brands now i think
Beck blue is 🤢 the worse non alcoholic beer I've ever had
Should be called St Austell Proper Unemployed. 😂
Pellegrino taste much better than non alco beer☠️😝
the normal proper job ,is rubbish over the top with hops ,no balance ,as for this one ,ill give this a miss,
It all taste weird
