Party time!
C9ngrats!
I'd like to hear about you NA beverage choices.
I've significntly scaled back my etoh consumption.
Wine when out for a good dinner, beer otherwise.
Most of the NA beer options I've tried taste like malty ass. Ugh.

Wife has been occasionally having a NA beer that she likes compared to her normal IPA, I'll ask her what it is.
Gruvi makes a good dark and an IPA with zero % alcohol. Athletic brewing has a good hazy IPA. And Hellraiser dark amber are my go to choices
Thanks! I've tried a couple of the Athletic brews, not that one.
Will look for the others.
Just do not care for the heavy malt taste of most I've tried.
Imbibing more zero cal seltzer.
Like (and want more) low cal low ABV session stuff.
Honest question, why drink NA beer at all? I have vastly cut my alcohol consumption out as well. With out the joy/buzz what have you I really don’t see any point in drinking beer. I never drank because it tasted good, I drank to get shit hammered.
ive been curious about trying some of these. will keep an eye out for them.
there's your problem.

I could give two shits about getting drunk, actually scratch that, I hate getting drunk. I’m down with the occasional buzz, but beyond that it sucks. I do however love an ice cold pile of beers on a hot day, NA beer can thread that needle. I also try not to drink soda, so that leaves me with ice tea (sweet tea and flavored can go fuck itself) and water as beverage choices when I’m driving, NA beer can be a solid choice for those situations as well. There’s some legitimately good NA beers these days, Heineken 0/0 isn’t half bad and comes in cans, I dig it for River/lake/pool days, kill a 12 pack and still be 100% functional, win!
I tried the Heineken...I thought it was OK. Guiness NA tastes like shit
Great job Eric!!!!!!
Wife says the Run Wild was really good, she just got some Upside Dawn at the store today.

I actually kind of like the Heineken NA. The Gruvi stuff is okay. I stumbled across a half rack mix pack of Brooklyn beer works (I think that was the name of the place) a while back that had some good stuff in it, but some pretty shitty stuff too. While I could definitely drink most of them, there was definitely something kind of.......missing, that I couldn't quite put my finger on, and I don't mean the alcohol. It's just not quite right if your expecting beer, IMO
I like the Gruvi Dark the best but also the fact That I can roll down the road drinking it at 0% ABV
She's only just started drinking them, so unknown if they have any bad ones.
Wow, I don’t have the proper word’s? Let me try in Arabic. Mabruk Habibie! Congratulation My Friend.
It must have been a very a difficult road you have been on. I hope not as difficult as the the road you got off of.
Avy
I might be biased but it tastes like tonic water gone bad, like all american non-alcoholic beers.Wife says the Run Wild was really good, she just got some Upside Dawn at the store today.

I like their Free Wave and in a pinch Run Wild. I don't like the upside dawnI might be biased but it tastes like tonic water gone bad, like all american non-alcoholic beers.
currently in my fridge
now I would say this is the closest to tasting like it has Alcohol in it and its really good
Tried some of the Free Wave today. Not bad!
Congrats, Eric!
Finding a replacement for booze in restaurants is the biggest challenge. Soda, sweet tea or juice with dinner? GTFO. I generally just do sparkling water. Sadly, some places in the US can’t even figure that out. Maybe I need to revisit NA beer as an option…

If you can find a Czech beer shop Czechs have a long history of NA beers that are decent.
Also some companies are experimenting with NA spirit substitutes. If you look around you might find some. Probably useless as shots but I bet it's possible to imitate a pseudo old fashioned without %
There is an NA "bar" that is trying to open that is an interesting concept. They aren't offering food yet, so $90 for 2 people and 3 drinks seemed a bit much. But I like the idea of creative cocktails that are NA.
J/K thanks again for the insight, @eric strt6 and it was a pleasure to talk to you. I would love to ride with you sometime.
