I looked up the lagunitas one and it said 80 cals

Generally 50-80 calories in the craft variety. Partake Pale Ale is the lowest I've found at 10cals.

Hell I'd almost just rather have a beer then ... again, I get it for the folks not boozin etc as a good alternative

I could see some of those hop waters mentioned being a nice alternative during the week, esp since I'm a topo/sparkling fiend

The Hop Water is 0 cal. Good stuff but more like a hoppy seltzer than a beer.

The Bravus Amber Ale is really good. Their IPA ain't half bad either (which is hard to pull off with the NA brewing process). At Specs usually, but I have them ship it to my door.

Bravus Brewing Oatmeal Stout and IPA. Schneider Weiss is damn good.

Budweiser Zero is really good!

So I got 3 sixers to try. I like them all. Got a hairless dog IPA, the Karbach free and clear, and the athletic run wild. I'd say the run wild is my favorite, but it was also the last one I tried when sampling one of each. Maybe I was just more prepared for the mild flavor and that is why I liked it the most.

I don't venture over to this board very often, so never seen this thread. I'll be at 1 year dry next week, and love me a good NA. Clausthaler dry hopped is my #1 favorite, and I usually make a big stock up purchase at Total Wine whenever I make it into Spokane. I've also really enjoyed Lagunitas' IPA.

I'm in very remote Montana and it amazes me I have found original Clausthaler at several of the grocery stores we hit depending on where we're at.

Total Wine's selection gets bigger everytime I'm in there. It's like going to the old huge beer selection gas station I used to frequent in Austin. Heading in this weekend and looking forward to what I can find.

Don't laugh but Clausthauler grapefruit isn't bad either.

I like it. Very refreshing.

Bravus also has a raspberry gose that is pretty tasty.

Not really a true NA (2.5%), but Lone Star came out with 24/7 a while back and tried it on a recommendation from a friend. Of course it is a light beer, but the wife and I liked it better than the Michelob Ultra and other Ultra Lights. Actually had a light beer taste and smell. It is a good weeknight beer, and for during the day on the weekends when you still want to get some things done around the house yet drink a beer while doing so.

I did the NA thing, but the selection in our town is not good.

Two of any Clown Shoes offerings and I'm a master electrician.

Or a 15% barrel aged stout

Here's the NAs I picked up over the weekend from Total Wine:

Athletic Run Wild IPA
Bravus Raspberry Gose
Athletic free Wave Double Hop
Hairless Dog IPA
Lagunita IPNA
Bravus IPA
Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher
Ceria Indiewave IPA
Clausthaler Dry Hopped

Good to see more and more alternatives out there. Had a St Pauli Girl this weekend. Still one of my go-tos.

That's just silly.

If you're gonna have a beer "around the house while doing things" just have a beer

This. What difference does it make what day it is or what you are doing?

if your day goes to sh*t because you've had a couple...you need to practice more.

St. Pauli tastes like piss to me. That's probably my last favorite. I'd rather have a Texas Select.

I'm not sure if anyone on here is interested, but, several of us no longer drinkers have been meeting up by Zoom on Sundays and Thursdays now at 7:00. It's not a 12-step meeting, just more of a sober Aggie hang out. If you haven't been to the H&F board and seen the link it would be great to see some new folks jump in.

I might have to come check it out.

We're all in different areas and want to keep in open to anyone who wants to join. Even if you're stuck in a hotel half way across the globe

It's been nearly 2 decades since I've had it, but I recall this stuff being pretty good:

My wife likes it but I'm not a fan

I think it's decent. There is a whole lot worse out there.

I don't think that is the way old Bob Horn taught it back at SJ, but maybe should have.
