Thanks John. I was in the US last week and was really pleasantly surprised by Becks n-a beer

I agree with Becks n/a...pretty good. I also remember drinking Becks Gold when I was in Germany, but never seen it outside of Germany.

Give wishbeer.com a try. They stock n/a beer and ship all over thailand.

All witticisms aside you love the taste of beer that much? Seriously? Personally never had an alcohol free beer that tasted anything even resembling beer. Why not drink soda?

Doctor’s orders, Elliss, believe me it’s horrible. Apparently my liver makes George Best’s look as smooth as a baby’s bum

Thanks again, Picked up some Erdinger and Paulaner n/a beer from Tops yesterday as well as a couple of others, so it’s a non-alcoholic beer tasting session this afternoon ..... can’t wait. 

Also bumped into “Sandgroper” Mike; so yesterday was a good day !

Please post the results of your testing session.

 

The low/non alcohol beers I've tried in the past have been pretty rank to be honest. But if it looks, smells and tastes like beer without being stupidly expensive, I'm in.

That is one thing I can not wrap my head around. The imported n/a beers cost just as much as imported regular imported beers...doesn't make any sense to me.

A nicely chilled Erdinger or Clausthaler are pretty pleasant. 

But Oettinger is, as Starky alluded, just like soda water

I discovered n/a. beer last summer in Canada,by the end of our 3 month stay the whole fam. was swilling the stuff!....I can finally drink AND drive!! yipee...

Apparently there is a demand for it,many brands now including Heineken have a non-alco. foot in the market.

The best Ive tasted is a Dutch brand called Grolsch,tall boys for less than 50b.

The thing about this beer is the massive calorie reduction(70%), I like the taste of beer but can do without the heavy bloated feeling and the dull meat'n potato buzz that tends to slow the gears.

 

There is a BKK-based website: wishbeer.com  they have a huge selection of every kind of swill and will do free-home delivery anywhere in Thailand with purchases over 2,000b. I buy El Jimador Tequila from them for a reasonable price. They have non.alco beer but like so much import booze in Thailand is at a premium price.

 

Unfortunately I have not found a source for the n/a.beer here yet, but have taken a liking to the line of new Thai "craft-beers" such as Snowy & Kopper at 4.5% alco. I can live with that since Im not under doctor's orders.
