I tried 75 low- and no-alcohol drinks: here are my favourite beers, wines and spirits

[Good]

The article provides recommendations for various low- and no-alcohol drinks. Here are the top picks:

1. **Low-Alcohol Beers**:
* Bero Kingston Pils (0.5% ABV) - a full-bodied, malty lager with enough bitterness and richness of aroma to mask the lack of alcohol.
2. **Low-Alcohol Ales**:
* Firebrand Brewing Co Shorebreak Hazy Pale Ale (0.5% ABV) - a smooth, zingy ale with hazily chilled tropical fruit flavors.
3. **Low-Alcohol Ciders**:
* Chance Clean Cider (0.5% ABV) - a crisp, citrussy cider made by removing the alcohol from a punchy 8.2% cider.
4. **Nootropic Drinks**:
* Smiling Wolf Functional Mocktails (0.5% ABV) - a ready-to-drink can with four flavors, including mojito, negroni, G&T, and aperitivo spritz, containing a proprietary blend of vitamins, amino acids, and caffeine to aid relaxation, energy, and mood.

These drinks offer great alternatives for those looking to reduce their alcohol intake or simply enjoy something new.

I'm so down for trying some of these low-alcohol drinks! You know what's crazy? I was just at the pub with friends last weekend and saw people sipping on these sorts of drinks, they looked like a great option. The Smiling Wolf drink sounds especially interesting, I've heard good things about nootropics helping with focus and energy. Have you tried any of these drinks yet?

OMG I tried the Bero Kingston Pils last weekend and it's actually really good! Like, I was skeptical at first 'cause it's only 0.5% ABV but honestly it tastes so much like a normal beer I mean, who needs full strength booze when you can have something just as tasty? And the Firebrand Brewing Co Shorebreak Hazy Pale Ale is also super refreshing! The tropical fruit flavors are to die for My only concern is that some of these drinks might not be suitable for people with sensitive stomachs, so maybe do a test run before sharing with friends .

I'M ALL ABOUT THOSE LOW-ALCOHOL DRINKS!!! THEY'RE PERFECT FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO GET YOUR BEER ON WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT LOSING CONTROL . I MEAN, WHO NEEDS FULL-ON BOOZE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A GREAT TASTE AND FEEL GOOD AT THE SAME TIME?

I RECENTLY TRIED OUT THAT CHANCE CLEAN CIDER AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIP!!! I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF THAT CRISP CITRUS FLAVOR. AND SMILING WOLF'S FUNCTIONAL MOCKTAILS LOOK AMAZING - I'M GONNA HAVE TO TRY THOSE SOON!

ANYWAY, I THINK THESE LOW-ALCOHOL DRINKS ARE A GAME CHANGER FOR ANYONE WHO'S TRYING TO REDUCE THEIR ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION OR JUST WANTS SOMETHING NEW TO MIX UP. THEY'RE NOT BORING AT ALL!

I'm not sure I buy into the idea that no-alcohol drinks are all we need to solve our drinking problems . I mean, can they really replace the experience of a well-crafted cocktail? And what's with the names on this list - 'Firebrand Brewing Co' sounds like a marketing gimmick to me . Is it just a clever way to distract us from the fact that we're still drinking something that's 99% similar to the real thing?

And have you seen the ingredients in those nootropic drinks? I'm all for a good energy boost, but do we really need to consume an entire can of caffeine and amino acids in one go? Sounds like it could be detrimental to our health . Give me a good old-fashioned cuppa any day ️.

The proliferation of low- and no-alcohol beverages is an intriguing development . The fact that these options are gaining traction among individuals seeking to moderate their drinking habits or explore alternative flavors suggests a significant shift in consumer preferences. I'm particularly intrigued by the emergence of nootropic drinks like Smiling Wolf Functional Mocktails, which integrate vitamins, amino acids, and caffeine into their formulations. This integration raises interesting questions about the boundaries between functional foods and beverages, as well as the role of technology in enhancing human experience . Overall, it's an exciting space to watch unfold!

Ugh low-alcohol everything is just so... mainstream . Can't we just stick with full-strength drinks anymore? Like, what's the point of drinking if it's gonna taste like watered-down blandness? The whole "I'm being responsible" thing just doesn't sit well with me. Give me a good old-fashioned stiff drink any day!

Bero Kingston Pils is definitely on my radar too, who knew 0.5% ABV could pack so much flavor?
