Harry Kinnear Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Bitburger do a delicious non alcoholic beer as do most of the Iberian brands. If low alcohol is an occasional treat, i'd try the Rolling Rock Cheers will give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 When I stopped I thought about trying alcohol free beer but never went in that direction. These days if I'm out I'll stick the sprite or the equivalent, ginger beer or tea at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 There were other side effects/implications for RN. Murderous tendencies and the like. I could experience murderous tendencies the morra morning. Waking up on a Sunday morning sober and remembering everything that has gone on at The Falkirk Stadium today isn't going to be easy. Especially if it's a performance like Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Definitely told this story before, but one of the funniest moments I've seen was waiting for the train to Edinburgh at Falkirk Grahamston station. A group of about a dozen lads appear carrying 2 crates of beer - acting lairy and obviously off on a stag do. They fired into the beer with gusto on the platform. This went on for several minutes until one of the lads noticed that instead of Becks, they had bought and had been drinking the alcohol-free version. By the look of them, you'd have thought they'd all been inadvertently drinking piss. They were disgusted. Needless to say, all the unopened and unfinished Becks Blue were left abandoned on the platform. I'd like to think that a gang of wee guys stumbled across the half-finished carryout later and had a similar experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same with regards to the issues, mines are health related.Mind you if the second half at The Falkirk Stadium isn't better than the first I could be back on it tonight.

mjw Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Tesco superstores have a bigger choice of the low/0 alcohol stuff than most of the others.The passable ones are mostly German but the brewdog one is decent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Erdinger is by far the best. It actually tastes like beer. When my wife was pregnant she bought quite a few and I tried most of them and Erdinger was the only one that I thought was nice enough I would considering drinking it over something like coke or Irn Bru.Surprised by the Becks Blue recommendations, thought it was horrendous. Very metallic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Remember that non alcohol bar that opened in Stockbridge? Yeah, they are turning it into a vegetarian butchers next. They set it up to prove you can have a good night out without drinking, but it closed at 9pm every night which proves you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in the pub today before the game and had 2 Becks Blue and they actually were okay. They tasted better than what I remembered Becks tasting.Had a look in Asda and they only had Bavaria but will give Tesco a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Apparently drinking nonalcoholic beer is like going down on yer sister. Tastes similar but just isn't right... Anyway Bitberger, weihestephan and furstenburg do acceptable alocohol free versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
