I've recently made the decision to cut way back on my drinking. No big deal, did it for health and weight loss reasons. Now the problem I am having is that I really enjoy the taste of beer. I have had a few O'Doul's Amber, and it's not bad, but I have to think there are better ones out there. Anyone have any suggestions? As far as flavor profiles I like, I like em all. Stouts, IPA's, bocks, wheat, etc. Never had a beer style that didn't have some appeal.
Thanks!

I decided to cut back soda and fast food instead.
![]() Sorry I can't help on the NA beer.

Don't eat fast food and only diet soda. This isn't looking too promising...

I usually have Busch NA around here. The O'douls amber is good. I'm thinking there's a Beck's that isn't bad. If we're out to eat and we're having seafood, I'll drink whatever NA they have available. I've tried lots, and it's hit or miss.
The best I can suggest is that you try whatever you see.

When I have up alcohol for Lent I found St. Pauli N.A too. I believe another one I had was Clausthaler NA.

Here ya go, Steve. It's a list of reviews.
Kaliber is the Guinness. I tried it at my wife's Christmas party and had to give it back to the bartender. Couldn't gag it down. I never did develop a taste for malts when I drank, and it appears I still don't like them. I always likes sweet lagers, and enjoyed lots of Canadian lagers. The best beer I ever drank was Grizzly, from Canada, and the company is out of business. That should indicate how my taste runs. ![]() Here's some more NA beers. Here's a little list I stole, but I think it's outdated. * Beck's (non-alcoholic version, Haake Beck) Bavaria Malt Bevo Bitburger Drive * Buckler (brewed by Heineken) Busch N/A * Clausthaler (also available in Amber) Coors Cutter Duff Zero: fictional non-alcoholic beer on The Simpsons Erdinger Non-alcoholic Weiss * Hacke Beck * Kaliber (brewed by Guinness) * O'Doul's (also available in Amber) Sharps * St. Pauli Girl N/A Warsteiner Premium Fresh White Label (bitter) Bintang Zero (brewed by PT. Multi Bintang Indonesia Tbk) Labatt Nord Last, but not least... While I was looking for that stuff, I saw different microbrew or regional NA's, so there's that, too. I've never run across any, but I guess they're out there?

Thanks for the info guys. I found a Paulaner Thomas Brau that isn't too bad, but it's $10 a sixer. This is only a temporary thing until I lose some weight. Down 20, and 30 more to go.

In Europe, non-alcohol beer has improved big time. Its popularity has really risen over the last few years due to drink/drive laws and lunchtime drinking.
I don't know which brands to recommend, but I would like towards European brands.

Took a break from drinking a while back (must be 8-9 years now) and about a year ago decided to try non-alcoholic beers (guess I had thought it might be a slippery slope or something.) Anyway, here's what I've found around here (Northern VA) from good to ok to pretty sucky:
Good: Buckler Kaliber - not sure why the harsh words above -- this stuff is pretty good O'Douls Amber (brown label) - surprisingly good, too Clausthaler ========= Just OK: Becks =========== Pretty sucky: St Pauli O'Douls (green) |

Buckler sucks, a stand up comedian killed the whole brand here in The Netherlands
![]() Maybe you should try this one, Heff approves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT-bG7rO91g

Only "near beer" I've had was when I was in Saudi. It was pretty bad, considering at the time I thought Budweiser was really, really good stuff!
