Not yet. I may have missed them when out last time. I'll have a try and post back.Have you tried the lagers? I think one was called St Etienne and the other might have been Rheinbacher or whatever Aldi’s default kraut brew is.
Lidl's own brand alcohol free lager is pretty good, I've got through a fair bit with Dry January. If it's cold enough it tastes like real lager.Have you tried the lagers? I think one was called St Etienne and the other might have been Rheinbacher or whatever Aldi’s default kraut brew is.
Yep, they’re very good. The Galactic Milk Stout is absolutely fantastic.Not yet. I may have missed them when out last time. I'll have a try and post back.
Was so impressed with the Big Drop Brewery I took out a monthly subscription.

Interesting, if they sell it I'd be interested in trying a pint. The more important question is does it turn your poo black like the real thing?Talking of stout, did anyone see the crack with Guinness 0.0 just before Christmas?
They‘d just released it and it all ended up being recalled due to some unknown contamination.

Guinness recalls non-alcoholic stout over contamination fears
Diageo makes ‘precautionary’ move over recently launched Guinness 0.0 in Great Britainwww.theguardian.com
A former colleague of mine described drinking non-alcoholic beer as, ‘it’s a bit like going down on your own sister. Tastes the same, but some how it feels a bit wrong.’ Well, he was in the Royal Signals.My go to 0% abv is blackcurrant juice. Pretend alcohol is a bit like vegetarian sausages/burgers it does not make sense to me.

For those of us that drink beer because it tastes good rather than to get shitfaced* the alcohol free version allows the 'enjoying drinking a beer' moment without getting plastered. It's no weirder than decaffeinated coffee.I like to think of it more like gluten free cake.
People who can’t eat gluten still like cake, so they have the gluten free version.
Same with alcohol free beer. I like beer, I just don’t like one ingredient in it, so I have the version that doesn’t contain that ingredient.
the 330ml "child" sized cans put me off
booze free is normally at premium & I'd end up pouring them into pint glasses
I think I have the option of liking beer but stopping before it does not like me. As in the nicorette advert, Requires Will Power.I like to think of it more like gluten free cake.

Can't get a taste for that, reminds me too much of the offspring being small.My go to 0% abv is blackcurrant juice. Pretend alcohol is a bit like vegetarian sausages/burgers it does not make sense to me.
