Must say, I never had many expectations from Guinness. But the stuff doesn't make a bad drink. The only alcohol-free beer (and this one really if alcohol-free, which suggests some mechanical process which would normally turn me cold) ... the only alcohol-free beer ... that actually tastes like the beer it meant to copy. No, I haven't changed me spots, that's really my opinion of the stuff they dare to call stout. But not bad as an alcohol-free drink. In fact, ... click, click, clickerty, click ... that's another 24 cans; don't trust them to keep that £1/can price for long.Trying a Guinness draught 0.0%.
Pours dark, not jet black (perhaps looks a little thin if being critical). Has a thin head which actually lasts. Aroma is of roast coffee. ...
The Williams Bros AF stuff is still miles better!
The long-lasting head is because Guinness even include the nitrogen widget! Remarkable, I haven't touched a widget beer for eons.

Bleddy bright that sun in Lincolnshire.
not fun of course, but it was cloudy AF (the AF doesn't refer to alcohol free BTWI had that last summer in Lincolnshire on my legs turned out to be the blood thinners, as for af beers i will stick with sunburn
)Amiodarone was the nasty pasty. But a drug supposed to regulate irregular heartbeat (which is common when they have to stop your heart for the op) has a side effect of irregular heartbeat , so maybe it just doesn't work for some
Hell, I've been out in summer for 20 mins without sunscreen and just got a little red without burning like this, yet 10 mins on a cloudy winters day - totally bizarre.
It takes months to leave your system, unlike alcohol which is 1 unit per hour on average. So AF beers are something I'll not be returning to any time soon. Beerriff's Easy lover is the closest or Tenby's son of a beach both 4.2% with body and packed with flavor. Totally sessionable too.
Once upon a time is was taking Tramadol,Diazepan,Dicofenac and some other stuff...I couldn't have any beer as I was already having some weird experiences!
Last one to try from the Brewdog box is Nanny State. Looks the job but absolute pish. Like drinking sparkling water.
Yes, the worst one so far for me.

A lot of the beers mentioned sound like good reasons to have a go a low ABV homebrew, and also tailor the alcohol level and malts to get something just how you want it

Tramadol I blame, notorious trouble maker in old patients!

Last night I had the misfortune to have 2 cans of Punk AF down the pub. Was basically carbonated water with a bit of flavouring though they forgot to put any actual beer flavouring in it.
When dry January is over think I'll make an 8 percenter and call it Drunk AF though the AF won't mean alcohol free of course
One of the side effects was the feeling of things crawling on your skin!Those first 2 well you don't really give a
The box I bought had a selection of Nanny State, Punk, Elvis Juice and Hazy Jane, all alcohol free. The Punk was the best of the (very bad) bunch so that tells you what I thought of the others!

Nevermind the alcohol here's the ********.

I'm fairly sure this "beer" is created with one of those weird yeasts that won't ferment maltose. So, it falls in that group of "beers" tasting like unfermented wort?
Needs confirming! I'm convinced enough not to try those "weird" yeasts (I don't like the flavour of those "Brooklyn" low alcohol beers either). But there is a large group of people that do like this "unfermented" flavour ... so-be-it?

To be fair: Nanny State must be the "original" of these low alcohol (0.5% abv) beers (UK anyway)? It was the one we'd try to copy a few years back.
But at least back then you could make your own version and it would be better! Bit harder to do now'days.
Can alcohol be removed from a normal beer? When using wine in cooking the alcohol is cooked off. Can this be done with beer?

Certainly. All the 0.0% ones are doing it. But they'll be using reverse osmosis or the like, which ain't available to us. There's something stopping "boiling" removing much alcohol (physics, room for some clever-dick to explain) ... but apart from that boiled beer just tastes nasty.
