Dry January Day 7 – A Beer Review

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?
