Alcohol free beer

[Mad Cyril]

I have got into Becks Blue during the recent hot spell.

Anyone recommend any other good ones?

Lawrie McMenemy recommends Barbican

Prohibition was just about passable back in the day. Personally I prefer Pepsi Max.

 

[TrueBlue]

Yes becks blue ain't bad

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Alcohol free beer is a contradiction in terms - DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE *******S - have long glass of squash and ice (choose your flavour) is good for hot days if you cannot have alchohol

big fan of soda with a dash of lime in this weather. went to a gig last night and they served it for free (was driving). bonus.

Good one - something to be encouraged :thumbsup:

Indeed, it was a surprising and nice touch. Shame the barman didn't have a tips jar. Nothing worse than going to some gastropub where they charge you £3 for a lime & soda.

The Cluny in Newcastle is a much recommended venue.

Agreed, can't see the point.

It's so I can enjoy a cold beer in the hot weather without the alcohol which dehydrates me.

A couple of Temazepam suppositories gives it a nice little kick though.

Nice post Cyril. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I have to go somewhere on Saturday which is too far for a cab - Oxford - and I have to drive home Saturday night. I have been fretting about nursing a pint of Guiness all night for weeks. This could be the solution.
I'll report back on Sunday.

is 'cider shandy' a real thing? in my head it works. I'm not a fan of lager or bitter shandy.

Have some green young man.

Maybe it's me, but beer hasn't got the nicest taste. I'd rather have what Pubey's having if I'm staying sober....Lime & Soda.

Yes. I used to drink it often. Not had it in a while and you may get an odd look to start with... but then offer them a taste. If it doesn't win them over, tell them to **** off as you're the customer. ;)

Also try with a generous dash of apple juice.

Will give it a whirl next time I'm down south, wouldn't get away with ordering it up here!

Has anyone ever tried a Guiness shandy?

:sick: Sounds revolting. An ex used to have blackcurrant in Guiness. Students. :nope:
