Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0. Very close to the “real thing” (not that mass produced European/continental lagers are all that great) But in this difficult (sometimes awful ) segment of the market, NA beers, this one stands out as pretty good.
My go to is Old Milwaukee NA. I admit it is sporadic but at times I don't want the effects of alcohol but I do enjoy the taste of beer. Old Milwaukee does the job for me. Especially when I am thirsty. Nothing fancy but at the right times I truly enjoy it.
My favorite NA so far has been Stella Artois 0.0%. While it doesn’t exactly taste like regular Stella, it’s got a flavor that’s right where it should be for its style. I’ll drink it just because I like it. Bottles only, though. The cans taste horrible.
I’ve tried Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Alcohol Free, which tastes basically the same as the regular radler. But with no alcohol, it’s just a soft drink. Actually good. But the regular is so low in alcohol I’ll stick with that.
Malty Dark by Budels.The second last in my collection of dark beers. Not very much head, but it isn't receding totally either. You feel it's dark. "Fast taste" is the most disappointing, aftertaste and feel the best. Nose is good. Nice to have had it once.
Gonna have to start posting in here when I'm not on just my phone so it's easier to add pics. I've had about 200 different NA brews just in 2026 alone. So far it's been Beaglepuss, Self Care, Go, ABV Beverage, and Athletic one-off/seasonals that I'm enjoying the most. Will come back and post more regularly now that I know of this thread! My IG is 100% NA beer focused and I daily post reviews, news, and some educational pieces. https://www.instagram.com/na.beer.nerd Cheers NA beer advocates!
Welcome to the NA Beers forum. I took a look at your IG site and can see a wealth of information. I have 4 beers in my rotation but that doesn't and that I'm set permanently on them. I'll look forward to your reviews in this forum or on IG.
Very good flavors. Deschutes does very well with NA beers. Although my experience with Black Butte has been mixed. Not all cans are alike. PSA the Athletic Kolsch is out now. Jason
oops. i forgot how to post pics here. The beers was the Fresh Haze IPA by Deschutes. Do you still have to link to pics here?
I see that you figured the answer to be yes, a third party host is needed. It's been so long since I've had real Fresh Squeezed so that when I had the NA version I couldn't make a judgement about it being close in taste to its daddy. I see it so rarely in the stores that I frequent so I don't even look anymore.
I tried 57 different NA brews in April, and my top 5 were: Zero Gravity Conehead Zero Central Waters Mudpuppy NA Go Brewing Daruma ABV Beverage Czech After Dark Revolution Anti-Zero Below has my list of all the 57 brews I tried: My favorite beers of April 2026
I believe they only have MN area distribution. I ordered mine from Shop Marigold which is a great non-alcoholic bottle shop in MN.
Been meaning to get into some NA beers since it has blown up lately with variety of beers. I got a few packs today. Really want to get the Sierra Nevada Trail Pass variety pack next. The Total Wine didn't have singles of NA beers, so I will go to a small shop in the area. Probably Bestway. Guinness 0. Canned on 11/22/2025. Great amazing creamy head and cascading nitro pour as expected. Lasting lacing down the glass. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, nuttiness, brown bread, light coffee/fruit/Irish yeast earthiness. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, nuttiness, brown bread/crust, charcoal, wood, peppercorn, pine, herbal, light fruit/Irish yeast earthiness. Medium pine, woody, roast/charred bitterness on the finish. Low carbonation and light-medium body; a fairly silky/grainy mouthfeel, with lingering char/resinous hop dryness, some remaining astringency. Smooth and fairly rich flavors. Tastes like a clean and well make dry stout. Not too yeasty or fruity, still feels like a Guinness from what I remember. 5/3.75/4/3.5/3.5: 3.85/5 Cheers
