Some of us who have to/choose to give up or significantly reduce their alcohol consumption would still like to drink beer as opposed to sweet sugary drinks or water. That answer your question?
I have. Do you know anything about dodgy thyroids and alcohol? Not much info out there that I've come across, and my GP's and Consultants are usually suitably vague.
I should have a mixed crate of dark, white and wheat no/low alcohol beers from The Alcohol-Free Shop waiting for me when I get home. I'll let you know the results imo taste-wise after a tasting session.
Just found this link for anyone else interested.....
Non-alcoholic wine and alcohol-free wines, alcohol-free beer and low-alcohol beer : The Alcohol-Free Shop
Attitudes are definitely changing on that front. I have several mates and colleagues who only drink no/low alcohol beer, and believe me, if you looked at them you wouldn't pick them as non drinkers.
Health reasons; dodgy thyroid, palpitations after a moderate 3 or 4 pints and occassional angina-like chest pains after heavier sessions during the early hours. Also get occassional sleep apneoa.
Thanks. I don't intend to stick to a strict 0.05% so that's not a problem. I notice quite a few breweries are doing low abv beers now, around the 2.5%, especially since the duty regs changed.
Just given up the booze for good. Any good no alcohol (0.05% for the pedants) recommendations? Becks Blue I know is ok. Went to Portugal a few years back and they had a great range, dark beers and all. I've heard the no alcohol versions are big in Germany now too. Also, any no alcohol wine...
