Fosters Radler - alcohol free - I'm struggling with this whole concept.

Think he was being generous on that occasion!

Radler is pretty common here, in fact I think it was a sophisticated German who invented it.

And as Fosters is so shit I can understand people wanting to put lemonade in it; anything to make it taste better.

I'd be intrigued to know if that dreadful "beer" is still be peddled as Australia despite being brewed in the UK and not drunk in Australia by anyone but tourists, as can there be anything less Australian than alcohol free beer? Oxymoronic at best.

People have the choice to support palace, that doesn't mean they should.

Ah, but they do; so the concept of having drinks on sale that neither you or I would buy actually works.

1) Nobody really likes Fosters.

2) Why then mix it with squash.
Foster’s Radler 2.0% is a refreshing mixed drink that combines 60 per cent citrus-flavoured soft drink with 40 per cent Foster’s lager. The most refreshing option of this summer's new drinks, the radler was developed especially to please Finnish taste buds. The beverage’s alcohol content is 2%.

c) After producing a 2% monstrosity why then feel the need to go alcohol free.

4) Who the hell buys this stuff.[/SIZE]

I first got into (Amstel) Radler in Crete last summer. Weather was baking hot, and sometimes when its that hot you just want your Eurolager cut with something a bit more refreshing. Really hit the spot and became the drink of choice to accompany a midday snack.

Another reason to buy low/no alcohol beer: a good friend of mine had a serious heart operation a couple of months back. He is under doctor's orders to severely limit his alcohol intake. Most of the time he sticks to squash or lemonade in the pub but sometimes the yearning for a beer-like drink gets too strong, so he'll order a Becks Blue or similar. It's either that or not go to the pub, so its the lesser of two evils by far.

Beck's do an alcohol free range, it's for kids under 18 trying to act cool

And also my pregnant gf. It's actually very good.

I've just had a look out the window and it's not Crete.

Nevertheless the next time it is baking hot I'll forgo a pint of mild and ask the barkeep for:-

'just under half a pint of your most insipid lager, topped up with a bottle of Oasis'.

Why anyone would drink alcohol free lager full stop is beyond me.

Oh and Le Tour starts again tomorrow, so just humour me, I'll be gone soon.

JUST GROOMING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LOSERS TBH

I really do like the 2% Radlers.
But then I do prefer veggie sausages to 'normal' ones and I prefer a pint of Shandy to a pint of lager.
I also prefer Pepsi to Coke.

So maybe I'm just part of the problem..

 

[Hotchilidog]

Sometimes you just want to have a drink and not get wasted. There are some decent low/alcohol free options out there, Becks blue is ok, you can even get an Erdinger Alkoholfrei weissbier which is delicious. Radlers are common place in Europe and can be quite a nice refreshing drink. Looking forward to trying out Harveys R at some point as I am cutting back on the heavy stuff at the moment. I wish that low and alcohol free beer was more available in pubs, I'd rather drink them endless pints of lime and soda.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I like Fosters

I don't, I love it. However we're not really allowed to post it on here without our whole life and good character being questioned and insulted to the point of bullying. (Figure of speech,I'm a big boy)

Now if you were to say "Harvey's tastes like the contents of a flat Party Seven can that's had an ash tray emptied into it" you'd probably get a ban.


(and, yes I have tasted all 3 'beverages' mentioned)

 

[Guinness Boy]

Alcohol free lager I actually get. It's been around years, the first was Kaliber (sp?) which my dad sometimes drank if he had to drive home from a gig. I vaguely remember it not quite tasting the same.

It's the Radler bit I don't get. Take something that tastes awful and pour something that tastes awful in to it. Er, no.

Based upon the marketing bumph, I'd say probably Finns.

I like a Bitter shandy on a very hot day
