Whilst every style of beer explained may not be all the craft beer channel may not be about, looking in to how you've been drinking beer wrong your entire life, how beer is made, brewing your first homemade beer, talking to beer experts, identifying cheap vs expensive beers, price points, and answering beer questions from brewmasters is all a part of my real ale craft beer journey.
Love this.i was a functional heavy drinker for years & was gradually turning into a rather non functional one 😂 8 months sober with no regrets of giving up but did miss the taste of Guinness so finding this was a revelation
Me too
Lots of people especially younger people do not drink alcohol as much as my generation so these 0% beers are wonderful for them! I like them too! Much better than a can of sugar soda!
Couldn't agree more - some 0% stuff out there unfortunately does have a few additives in I'd rather they didn't - but it's great that it's an option. I'd like to see a return to some very naturally low ABV beers - say 2% table beer, where the alcohol content serves almost entirely as a cleanser to the drink but not enough to put off those who don't like to "drink" in the conventional sense.
So if I drink this drink it won’t break my streak for not a sip of alcohol in my entire life
Lies again? Grab Uber Ass F**ked
I liked alcoholic Guinness but it didn't like me. One pint was sufficient to give me significant digestive discomfort. I'm now nine months sober and Guinness 0 is my favourite NA beer generally available in pubs locally AND I can drink as much as I please without digestive issues - a win-win in my book. Regarding those who doubt whether there's a market for NA beers, the pubs here in South East Wales stock it and often sell out towards the end of the evening.
That's great to here! Glad you're enjoying your 0% experience - the Guinness is certainly the one I hear the most about from a truly replacing the experience perspective. Cheers!
I just had one of these at wetherspoons with my mixed grill, what a treat, I usually have an orange and lemonade but this is a great option
I had to try this as I love Guinness, and I have to admit it really surprised me. I honestly don't think I could tell the difference between the regular and the 0%. It's very good.
Guiness 0 is also my favorite NA beer. Sadly I can’t find it in London pubs, they have some lame NA options, but there are a few shops selling it. About the ingredients, as far as I understood, NA beers are seen as something similar to food, so they are required to better write down all the ingredients they use, the alcohol ones are not required that much, so they could miss out some extra ingredients.
Hopefully this becomes more readily available on tap soon!
I had my first can of this on Saturday last week and I could definitely tell it was alcohol free on the first try. Tasted like a watered down Guinness. I had another can on Sunday and it tasted very much like the real thing. I had to go and check the can to see whether I hadn't poured a regular Guinness accidentally. Very strange... but I am not complaining :)
Oh interesting! I think AF beers can be more easily tainted by whatever else you've drank or eaten that day. I've certainly had cans of this that feel like 99% the real deal and others that are well below 50% but on the whole they're a very reliable option! Cheers!
@@TheCrumbyBeard I paired it with Cheese & Onion crisps the second time so that may have completed the experience 🤷♀️😄
@@maditheband haha! That’ll do it! Genuinely though the potato starch from the crisps may well mask the slightly starchy taste AF beers can have!
Prefer real ale but a lot of pubs can't get it right. So Guinness is my go to if no decent ale. Had my first zero Guinness last night. Tastes much like Guinness in a can to me. So will definitely buy it in future.
A an x boozer and on disuliram its great to be able 2 drink this stuff. Loads of great alcofree beers out there.🤘 Also the beers that are 0,5% u dont get an reaction.
Great video. I think they make noon alcoholic beer like regular beer and then they remove the alcohol. Where there's a market, there's a way.
Thank you! Yes that is certainly one way they can do it, another is using specialist yeast strains which produce very little alcohol but still consume the sugars, though in the case of Guinness I suspect it is as you say. Cheers!
It's a fantastic drink, they've nailed it
They need to make it completely AF + do pint cans in tbe shops of it or get it gojbg through nitrosurge + get it on draucht outside Ireland
Mug of Tea for me, that's my alternative 😂, cheers Tom
Haha, cheers Dave! Can't fault you there!
you know i should give it a try. regular guiness is still a decent beer to have so if that 0.0 version still manages to pull it off, it must be quite a good NA beer.
I remember when NA beers tasted awful on average, now it looks like they got the hang of it.
NA beers certainly aren't perfect yet, but this one is certainly one of the better emulators - at least when it comes to easily available stuff. Cheers!
It's less alcohol than a fresh-baked bread. Woah.
Less alcohol than Soy Sauce.
Best 0% I've had so far, in terms of closeness to the original. I'd like to know why that is. I.e. the difference between stout and lager in achieving this
Interesting question! So there are some lager AF's which I think get pretty close from specialists such as Mash Gang, but also more available options like Lucky Saint also aren't bad, but still do lack a bit of something. I think the difference with Guinness is that primarily, the deeper flavours provided by the dark malts used to make stout can help fill in the gaps in what paler AF beers seem to fall short. The other aspect is the texture and mouthfeel; half the pleasure of a Guinness comes from the physical sensation and not just the taste, so by accurately mimicking that, they've already got half the job done. Cheers!
Although I enjoyed, price too much to buy on a regular basis.
Great and fair review. I really love the Guinness zero, I had to stop drinking alcohol due to an allergy that began two years ago, I can't even have brandy butter or anything containing alcohol. As little 10ml of wine or a mouthful of real beer is enough to cause me difficulty breathing, stomach cramps or even collapse. This Guinness zero is an absolute life saver for me when I go out, it's on draught here in Ireland which is great and my doc said I can drink it without worrying.
Thank you! And this is why high-quality alco-free beers are absolutely important to exist! I'm glad you're able to still enjoy 90%+ of the Guinness experience without any ill-consequences! I don't think I've seen it on draught here yet, but I'm sure it won't be long!
If I absolutely had to drink an N/A beer I'd probably go with this one.
actually i liked it ,not bad at all
The best 0% out there in my opinion. Try a shot of ribena for a nice twist... 'Guinness & black zero'
That's a great shout Jim, I'll give it a try!
Yes, of all the zero zero Guinness have got it right, a little high in carbs and a bit of sugar. I say this as I love it and it’s what I have at restaurants when I’m driving. I am diabetic, but it’s my go to zero zero. My comment is there are more and more zero zero biers and wines. I disagree on the taste quality it’s closer to Dublin Guinness then uk Guinness on the pump. Thumbs up
Ah interesting! To be fair I think most people won't notice a huge difference - the only issue with reviewing and picking beers apart means you spot every little thing! Cheers!
Just dump it in, I love that method.
It's the most consistent way to get a good tasting draught can - maybe not the prettiest afterwards but that rarely matters!
I think they got it right.
Absolutely, it's still one I'm recommending!
Deschutes Porter is better IMHO.
I’ve had a lot of recommendations for their products. Must find some!
is Guinness 0 vegan | kosher | are all their Guinness products now? I wasn't sure about the "natural flavourings" part ...
Vegan they state yes but unsure on the kosher I’m afraid. Very little information about Guinness 0.0 specifically on this unfortunately.
@@TheCrumbyBeard if it‘s really truly vegan it should also be clean
Pouring a pint of Guinness (porter) like that in Ireland you'd be guilty of blasphemy. Your suposed to pour your Guinness with reverence.
Very pricey for non-alcoholic drink
That is an issue with non-alc beers in general. The brewing process is the same as regular with then an additional stage or removing the alcohol so in terms of production it costs more, but then there's no alcohol duty on it, so the price comes down a bit - often resulting in a similar price at the end. I've heard it send approx £1 per unit less in favour of the 0% is the actual difference but it will vary for each brewery.
You are using the wrong size glass!
4:38 I don't think there is EVER a "good" alcohol free beer. I have been around the beer scene for over 30 years now, alcohol free beer just NEVER sells. Most bars don't even sell them. I just don't see who is the market for this.
That's interesting Joey - they're quite popular in the UK right now, how long it'll last I don't know, but certainly interesting. I'd rather see some low abv 2% table beers instead, but I guess that doesn't help the advertising loopholes a lot of these businesses are trying to fill with the Zero Alc stuff.
It's flying off the shelves and out of the pubs here, the drink driving laws and a change in the drinking culture is making non alcohol beers attractive to a lot of the younger drinkers. There's not as much weekday or all day drinking and binge drinking has definitely fallen off, it seems to be a dying trend in Ireland.
I love it 😍 as someone who now abstains from alcohol, but loves a Guinness, this is an absolute godsend. There's definitely a market for non alcoholic beet.
The popularity has grown and shelves are becoming more full with better options. My top 3 is 1. Corona NA 2. Guiness NA 3. Authentic (if you want an IPA flavor).
These 3 are these closest to their originals. They are becoming very popular with people in early 30s to early 20s.
I came from drinking 1/5 whiskey a night to NAs on daily with an occasional real drink. Been helping me and my body is loving me more.
The alcohol free market is rapidly growing even Ashai the biggest Japanese beer brewer has got into the alcohol free market too.
Guinness zero is a sin !😅
What’s the point ?
Beer has it's own flavor components. Guinness has it's own unique taste.
Hi mate. Love the video, in your opinion whats the best 0.0% recently stopped drinking but love beer still😢. Id really love to hear your thoughts @TheCrumbybeard
Cheers, much appreciated. So if you want something more modern craft-focused then look up Mash Gang - they're doing some absolutely incredible stuff in the 0% space. For more mainstream offerings the best I've had so far aside from Guinness 0.0 are; Leffe Blonde 0%, Lucky Saint and Beavertown Lazer Crush - I'm not a big Beavertown fan in general so that last one really surprised me, I have reviewed that one before. Hope that helps!
@@TheCrumbyBeard same as me, I'm not that into Beaverton but if you rate it will give it a try! Thanks 👍
