I wonder if there could be a stand in beverage for crap like this. With the right color and frothy bubbles. Idk sparkling apple juice?

I quite enjoy Heineken Zero, doesn’t taste exactly like normal Heineken, but definitely tastes like a lager and has <0.05% alcohol.

Sometime in my 30s I found that alcohol (even just a couple of beers) can make me feel really fatigued the next day, so I drink it quite rarely these days.

So far the only NA beers I have found that taste like real beer are from Athletic Brewing. I avoid alcohol but also really like the taste of beer, so I'm loving the Athletic beers. I highly recommend them.

My girlfriend has been drinking NOMO from crux fermentation project as a lower carb alternative.

There's been a ton of innovation in that space recently, and I'm seeing a lot of bars and breweries starting to carry N/A options now. Athletic Brewing is doing a lot of stuff in the US that I see around. There's also a lot of places making Hop Water that's essentially house sparkling flavored water that's really nice.

Shout out to Lagunitas Hop Water. Also Trader Joe's just started carrying it.

Alcohol free beers are in every bar I go to. Sparkling water with lemon will pass as a gin and tonic in most too!

Liquid Death is going for that niche

I've seen some products like this advertised. Seedlip, for one.

It's okay, not great. I'd rather drink tonic with an lot of bitters tbh.

Also, unironically, r/HydroHomies, it has been my drink of choice in social settings for a few years now. That and coffee.

Or just non-alcoholic beer. That’s like half it’s purpose.

Or you could drink Liquid Death, legit really good water and a meme.

Club soda with a lime is a good way to go
