Seven days on and still going strong. Rather than blog daily about my abstinence which would make for terrible reading, I thought it apt to review a beer. Not my usual kind of review but why not?
Every just get a craving for the refreshing taste of an ice cold beer? I do and, even more so now I am in the depths of Dry January. Not that I’m craving drunkenness or drowning any sorrows. I think I genuinely enjoy the taste of beer which is, of course, can be dangerous.
I have decided to try a non-alcoholic beer tonight. Never really bought into the idea before and had always preferred a coke if driving or not able to have a beer.
Budweiser Alcohol Free is actually just the tipple I needed. It has everything about it that the regular Budweiser provides and I could even be fooled I was drinking alcohol. The only give away is I feel no different after a few cans and I wake up sprightly in the morning. Sweet notes initially on the tongue then a more full-bodied bitter note on the palate. Just fizzy enough to be refreshing but not too much to make me think I’m drinking lemonade.
Surely, a winner all round and I think I might take to drinking it more often. Whilst perusing the non-alcoholic section in my local supermarket, I noticed a huge selection with some of my favourite IPAs having non-alcoholic editions. I’m excited to give them a try.
Does anybody have any recommendations for non-alcoholic beer?
