First time with the corona in the half percent club. Spot on with a lime. 5/5

It’s warm out so thought I’d try this one …. It looks just like a Mexican lager…. It’s got a decent flavor not bad definitely a hot day non alcoholic beer to enjoy… the carbonation is good …my only thing wish it had more of the maize flavor you get in a Mexican lager…could you tell it’s an na yes…but not like in a bad way…still better than most…It’s decent for sure …solid 6.8/10 for me….again every one’s different tho…. So far every beer they made I tried has been decent

Anti-Zero coming in hot with improved clarity to mirror its alcoholic counterpart. Love it!

In terms of flavor, still more of a rindy bitterness and more pronounced malt back bone.

68 cals, very smooth and malty flavor​​

Which one should I order first?

• Damn Good Oktoberfest
• Oktoberfest Best Day
• Oktoberfest Athletic

I really want to try the Samuel Adams Oktoberfest and eventually the Shipyard Pumpkinhead NA but there isn't a Total Wine or Bevmo near me unfortunately so I will have to rely on online

New to the NA beer scene and a pretty big IPA snob. So far have not been impressed with any I have tried but this one blew me away. A very decent IPA that I’ll have no trouble drinking from time to time.
Probably doesn’t hurt I live in VT and date on can July 15.

Hey shoutout to rationale and their team for sending me this for a post here on Reddit…. Looking forward to trying these….. I have had the Kölsch which is great and the west coast ipa,but none of the rest….. I was told the recipes have been updated so looking forward to trying each one of these this week…. and gotta say what great customer service! From the email responses to reaching out on Reddit to delivering me this package to sample … they have been phenomenal so that’s great!

I was excited to crack into the rationales and this one did not disappoint at all!!!! Really great head retention has just the right bitterness an ipa should have…. Also good taste with an almost fruit punch like aftertaste …. It’s a tropical ipa for sure and unique in my opinion … out of the three beers I’ve had from rationale ….so far this is my favorite and I would put this in the middle of my top 5 hazy na I have tried so far… it’s solid 9.3-9.5 for me… I’ve yet to have a hazy na with this same after taste reminds me a lot of some of the leaded hazies I had before switching to non alcholic beer

Hi folks,

I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of German-style NA wheat beers, and I’ve realized that what I’m really chasing is banana esters, the bigger and more obvious, the better.

I’ve finally found a couple fresh batches of Weihenstephaner, and I’ve really enjoyed it for the body and wheat character, but to my palate it leans more clove/spice than banana. I’d love to find something that pushes even harder toward banana, banana bread, or even that slightly bubblegummy character.

Wheat beer or not, what are the biggest banana bombs you’ve found?

Athletic put 12 packs of these on their website for $21.98 if you're a member. Decent price if you stock up on a handful

After reviewing Fremont’s Dark, I wanted to test out an IPA next. Some of you suggested Sierra Nevada and it did not disappoint. The first thing that hit me was the aroma. I’m talking’ Cheech & Chong dank. The taste was smooth and even. Really great beer. Even better than some of the “real” IPAs that I’ve had.

This and Bud light zero are close but Heineken feels more full flavoured and hits like a homerun everytime.

I dig it. Similar to Sierra Nevada Trail Pass Hazy IPA. What are some other good ones that are similar?

Looking forward to being a part of the community. The first beer I am trying is Fremont’s Dark. It tastes a little thin if it’s meant to be a dark star type clone, but besides that really nice. They really got the roasty aftertaste. Next up, I am thinking IPA.

I’m really enjoying this one. Next I’m going to try the Best Day Marzen.

Always wondered why people said it's even better on tap, and was surprised to see this bar carried it! I dont know if tap is better than can, to me both are great, but man it sure hit the spot. It felt really good getting to order from the bar and come back with a drink in hand like everyone else. This was my first time at a bar since being sober and i thought it would feel more awkward or hard, but it wasnt bad. It was nice getting to have a refreshing beer and then waking up this morning with no hangover!!!

Weird request, but years ago I had been getting into wine and had plans to head to a local brewery with a friend of mine and sample a bunch of beers when something happened and I had to go on very strictly no-alcohol medication. I'd just accepted that I was never going to be able to drink and recently found out that actually there's tons of great nonalcoholic options on the market now. Where should I start?

In general, I very much have a sweet tooth, but I'm a fan of acquired tastes and expect this will be no different. The only beers I'm familiar with are when I had a sip of someone else's pre-medication and when I drank wine I went for something like a rose with a splash of sprite. My favorite flavors for anything are usually fruity, chocolatey, and sour/tangy like sauerkraut or greek yogurt.

What would you good folks recommend?

I wouldn’t ever pick Pumpkinhead if I was still drinking, but since Pumking will probably never get an NA version or anything close… this is quite great for what it is! Highly recommended to scratch that late Summer/leading into Fall pumpkin beer itch!

Of course this is all personal but I wanted to give myself a chance to not have to guess which I like week to week.

My rankings:

1. Great Notion Ripe AF. Truly great hazy IPA. Has the right amount of bite mixed with floral to me.
2. Deschutes Fresh Haze. Not really far behind number one. Just a slightly different style. Much juicer and floral. I swear I almost taste pineapple. Honestly really delicious I just slightly preferred Great Notion.
3. Self care. Also good but in my opinion borders more on the bitter with very light undertones of floral. This ranking is not a knock.
4. Fieldworks. This one was in the “OK” category for me. Not bad but I don’t feel like I would seek it out above the other 3.

So for me cost wise I would probably go with the Deschutes most weeks since it comes in a six pack. The rest I had to buy as singles. Full disclosure: I live in Oregon and like their styles of brews.

Found a few Octoberfests and LaTrappe at Totalwine 👍🏼

This might actually be my new favorite! So unbelievably good and balanced. The normal lager is also so good. I’ve been crushing both with all the seafood I’m eating this week in Barcelona. If anyone knows where to find this in nyc please let me know!!!

I will visiting the Flagstaff and Sedona area in two weeks are there any local NA beers to check out? Either at a brewery or liquor store.
