And then there's Clausthaler!
None. They're all gross. Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher is the best NA option, but it's not beer.
Lammsbräu is king 🤴
Currently having the Athletic Layback Lime & Salt which I especially enjoy during the summer time
Answer: None!
Germanmaxxing
Go Brewing out of Naperville, I like their Pilsner.
Athletic copper and lite
Best Day Kolsch
Shiner Bock NA
Are a few of my favorites so far.
Heineken 0.0 is good too.
I can't believe she couldn't tell the difference between O'doodoo and Heine
Partake IPA is my go-to.
I'm impressed with the BERO Variety Pack I purchased recently.
The Bitburger 0.0 is my favorite, it was reviewed in the last NA beer review.
Odouls
FLVR is definitely the best!
Stella has been my favorite so far.
Just the Haze, Guinness and Heineken have just nailed it!
The Heineken is pretty good. My go-to!
I simply don't understand the appeal of the Athletic beers, they all taste odd to me
A-B used to make an ODouls Amber which I liked better than the original.
“Citra” is NOT a malt. It’s an hop.
Glad to see Athletic on the show. I enjoy it
Best Non Alchoholic IPA… DeShuttes Fresh Squeezed IPA, hands down! ❤😊
O'Dooles and Heiniken ….yucko!
I'm a big fan of the Guinness! Hands down one of the best N/A beers out there.
Good episode. N/A beer has come a long way. I found that one of my local brewers has one and it's rather good.
No Bero in the lineup, too bad. The pilsner is fantastic.
Upside Dawn is a big favorite in our house.
I'm a southern girl and I love Busch NA! I love the others too but, they are a little pricey! It's art and I get that! 😊
I love the Guinness NA as well the Upside Dawn, the Sam Adams and the Heineken. I even enjoy the O’Douls. Frankly, I usually enjoy any NA beer. Can’t think of a horrible one.
I refuse to pay the same price, or more than a normal beer.
Becks is excellent
You need to try Peroni. That and Guinness are my favorites.
I've tried a few na beers. My wife asked me how one was. I told her it needed something. She asked, what? I said, gin.
Gosh, I hope I'm never told I can't have a real beer.
Amazed that you managed to miss Sierra Nevada’s Trail Pass line of NA brews. Those beers are the only ones that could pass for the real thing. Many of those you tested are passable beverages but they’re lacking genuine flavor, mouthfeel or aroma.
She appeared unimpressed
Go brewing is the best
Hand those people a soda
Athletic and it’s really not even close.
To say otherwise is to be advertising for something.
Peroni is the best one!
Love seeing Untitled Art on here! They make the best N/A beers in my opinion. The Italian Pils is incredible! Same with their sours
Everyone has their own taste preferences. I really like Penn's Best.
