I can't find Heineken 0%

[2long]

I have just started another thread about cutting down on the booze, but this topic is separate.

I have looked in several shops for Heineken 0% but to no avail. Has it been discontinued? I understand the confusion in selling it from 2-5pm, and that's not the end of the world, but I'd like some.

Have you tried Tops?

[Susco]

I see it in the Mini Big C

Who would want to find alcohol free beer ????

[hotandsticky]

It is not in the beer section and it can be sold at all times - there is no confusion, it is 0% alcohol. A poorly run 7-11 may put the cans in the shuttered beer fridge but most don't  (Makro staff wet themselves when you push your trolley towards them at 4pm with a case of Heineken in it).

 

 

Depends where you are because you may struggle to find it in rural locations.

I was in Big C in Pon Phisi (along from Non Khai to non Isaan people) at lunch time today; plenty of Zero Heineken next to standard Heineken. Somebody already mentioned Big C ;maybe they're making a thing about O% alcohol?

Why would they not want to?

If your doing 0 percent booze do 0 percent. Easy. Buy oranges or something.

Bought a can in Tops the other day just to try.

 

It had an unpleasant peculiar after taste and discarded it after a few sips.

Looks like you got the normal Heineken taste. Probably the worst alternative to a proper beer. ????

Sakon Nakhon Tops & Big C Makro all have stock.

Beer taste is a bit like beauty. What appeals to some won't appeal to others. The most popular, biggest seller in Australia is VB. Personally I think it's garbage & wouldn't drink it if it were free. As a matter of interest Heineken is always in the Top 10 beers consumed world wide. Looks like a few disagree with your comment !

I regularly do 0% booze by drinking water. But sometimes I like to kid myself (in my mind) that I'm drinking beer while doing my liver a favour. The first time I tried it I struggled to get past the first few sips, then it became ok. I haven't had it for a few months, but when I used to, I could enjoy 3 cans, nice and cold.

- more flavour than water

- better in every way than Coke etc (especially if drinking 3 cans)

- not real beer, but once in a while it's an option

 

Thanks to all. I will look harder now. We have Tops and Big C near us.

Indeed but I am in the agreement side - suspect it is popular because tastes more like US flavored water than German beer.  Never much of an alcohol drinker but recall when living in Germany during the 60's enjoyed the taste of some, like Binding, but never liked Heineken.

7/11 have it

I could move to Germany for the food and beer. But then I'd become an obese alcoholic.

just buy a can of soft drink ...  who would drink beer that's 0% .....

yep that's where i get mine

[thedemon]

It may contain no alcohol but it is a lot higher in carbohydrates than regular beer and not dissimilar to a soft drink like Coke. So might well negate any benefit to your liver, if that is the goal.

I bought some from 7-11 during 'prohibition' a few weeks ago. Since I hadn't had a beer for a couple of months it tasted okay. However, I was perusing the can for the info regarding carbohydrates, fat, sugar content etc and all the standard nutritional stats were lacking. I had (mistakingly?) thought it would be less carbs than alcoholic beer.

[cyril sneer]

PTT gas station 7/11's have it, only in the small cans though

[Henryford]

Why pay 38 baht for a can of alcohol free "beer". Buy a coke 10 baht.

[ChipButty]

Anything less than 5% is not worth drinking, My local 7/11 did remove it from the fridges a complete waste of time trying to explain it's none alcohol, dont even go there 

[Max69xl]

Who drinks any Heineken beer? You can't find a more bland beer anywhere. One of the reasons you can't find 0% Heineken in most stores is the almost non-existing demand.

You will get just as fat drinking it as you would real beer. And with zero alcohol its a poor trade off, like somebody said by fruit. A big fat mango is cheaper and tastes much better

They won't store it in predominantly Thai areas as they are not silly enough pay 40 baht for it
