Emma Not everyone will be drinking this New Year, however foregoing taste is something you shouldn’t do with beer so here are 5 beers which are no alcohol or low alcohol to celebrate without losing the taste of beer.
1. Nix Alcohol Free Wheat Beer – WEST Brewery.
This hefeweizen doesn’t lose out in taste when losing it’s alcohol.
2. Erdinger Weizen Alkoholfrei, 0.5%
The Kings of wheat beer, Erdinger, have produced a worthy alcohol free version. Sweet banana tasting with a malty hit.
3. M&S Low Alcohol Czech Lager, 0.5%
Staropramen brew this one for Marks and Spencer. Pils-like with a light taste. If you like a light Lager, this one is for you.
4. Schneider Weisse Mein Alkoholfreies, 0.5%
Another good wheat beer here. A full and rounded beer with a slight malty taste.
5. Franziskaner Alkoholfrei, 0.5%
Another wheat beer, and not surprisingly German. It’s as if they know how to make beer tasty, even without alcohol in it!
I love the Erdinger but it is quite a fizzy beer – Schneider Weisse was one of my favourites before i gave up booze 6 years ago – The alcoholic version delivers an amazing hangover ! – My current favourite non alco beer is “Nanny State” from Brew Dog – Most people would be very hard pushed to tell it was alco free if they didnt know
