This thread is dedicated to the sober, sober-curious, and those participating in going dry challenges. The Non-Alcoholic beer universe has exploded over the last couple years so wanted to give everyone a place to share, discuss and find NA beers.

I'll start us off with Untitled Art's NA West Coast Style IPA. Very solid offering with no off flavors and some of the best head retention I've seen in an NA beer.

Oh and BTHO t.u.

The Peroni 0.0 does a good job of replicating a cheap European Pilsner if you're into that sort of thing.

Guinness NA is good IMO. If you like Guinness.

Another from my Untitled Art box I got recently. Mango Dragonfruit Sour. Pretty good if you're into this sort of thing. Not too sour - more slushy like.

Been drinking more and more NA beers lately. Not because I'm a drunk or anything like that I just simply like the taste of beer on a weekday after work and many are less calories which help.

The athletic Brewing ipa's aren't bad. I only buy them when I can find them on sale. And honestly the Budweiser zeros serve there purpose.

Just wish in my neck of the woods there are more options. Most gas stations and brookshire bros in only carry the Budweiser, Busch, and coors offerings.

This might be one of the best ones I've had

Also, no lie of the mass produced beers the Busch NA isn't bad

Corona NA with a fresh lime squeezed in the bottle tastes a lot like the real thing

Enjoying an Untitled Art American Gold with homemade smash burgers - really solid.

NA beers are all I've had for the last 2-3 years.

Athletic has a few good offerings.
I like the two choices Sierra Nevada has, golden and IPA.
Deschutes Black Butte NA is a good one for the darker side. I liked it a lot.
Karbach's IPA isn't bad. Their Belgium white is meh.
Bud Zero is what I usually grab.
Coors Edge is just like Coors Light, which isn't saying much but it's not bad.
Not a big fan of what Shiner put out there.
I didn't like the Blue Moon NA. Too much orange flavoring.
Similarly, I thought the Dos XX NA was a little too limey.

Yes, this one is terrible

If you want this flavor, do Corona NA with lime

I picked up the Brooklyn brewing variety pack from my local HEB. Hoppy amber, Pilsner, ipa, and grapefruit ipa. All were pretty good, I liked the hoppy amber and grapefruit the best.

Picked these two singles up at HEB over the weekend.

The Best Day Galaxy Ripple looked like an IPA and had good flavor/hoppiness but just zero body (even for an NA brew). It was like a seltzer version of beer but it did taste good and only 65 cal.

Brooklyn SE Grapefruit IPA was decent - a little too much grapefruit for my liking, but I also probably had Grapefruit Sculpin in my mind.

I had a couple of the Best Day Brewing Hazy IPAs this past weekend and I thought it was really good for a NA beer. They had them at my local HEB

I forgot about the Best Day options. I really like their Kolsch. I prefer their Hazy IPA to their west coast IPA but both were good.

That looks delicious. Huge fan of sours. Damned hard to find though regularly. This one will be on my radar.

Untitled Art is awesome.

They had or still have a Delta 8 Seltzer that was pretty awesome.

I really liked the Brooklyn Brewery ones I tried. I quit buying NA beers a while back but might try some of these new suggestions.

Would like to be able to sample singles because I did buy a few sixers of NA's that were just terrible and they aren't cheap.

Speaking of Untitled Art - tried their NA Italian Style Pils with a big bowl of spaghetti for dinner tonight. It was really good.

Depending on your local HEBs you might have some luck - I've found some are better than others at putting NA options out as singles.

I'll take a look. Thanks. Glad there are so many new options coming out. Hope they keep getting better.

You're in San Antonio right? I happened to be at the HEB at 281 & Evans last weekend and they had several options as singles.

I am. That's not too far. I usually go to the big HEB at Blanco/1604 so I'll check it out first. Thanks!

last year I found some BrewDog NA beer that I really liked, but it doesn't seem that they distribute to Texas anymore, unfortunately.

For sure. Athletic is running a deal this month that you get 50% off your order when you purchase a membership for $29. For 4-six packs it basically breaks even with free shipping. So got this along with a couple others. The Tucker's West Coast IPA is really good too.

The great thing about NA beer is that it can be shipped to you directly and most breweries do it. Can be a little cost-prohibitive with shipping but most give free/cheap shipping with case-size orders.
