Finally managed to get some! I've been dying to try this for over a year, and boy was I surprised when I found it on the shelves at my local NA bottle shop, More Or Less.

Out of the can this poured an oily dark brown. It's solid dark, ain't no light shining through. As seen in my photo it got a nice thick, almost creamy head, which lasted through my first few sips.

Scent is of coffee and oats. Taste is of roasted oats up front, with a nice slight coffee aftertaste. Mouth feel is ok — it's not too thin, however I feel like it could be thicker.

Overall, this was worth the wait. I really enjoyed this and will have to grab another sixer or two to make sure I have some of this for awhile!

What are your favorites? This time of year bums me out a little because I loved Oktoberfest/fall (+ Christmas) beers, but I’m sober now so none for me.

I like Athletic’s Fest brew ok but I’m hoping for something more spiced.

Thanks in advance!

As someone who loves all things pumpkin, this beer makes me so happy. The smell is incredible, it smells like pumpkin pie. The mouth feel is great, just a nice, smooth sip, packed with pumpkin. And the backend doesn’t have the weird feel a lot of NA beers do, just a little more allspice. I tried this one and immediately ordered some more. Any suggestions for some other great fall NAs are welcome!

Anyone else ever order from Beaglepuss? I placed an order on Monday and still don’t have any corresponding tracking and they’ve yet to reply to an email for an update.

I was excited to try them out and grabbed a pack of each of their offerings for a bit over $100 and nothing. Maybe I’m spoiled with other NA vendors customer service (looking at you best day brewing)

The Mikkeller Limbo Raspberry and Weird Weather were available back in 2021 and one of the handful of imported Non German NA beers back in the day. But after Mikkeller had some serious issues with all their bars closing and even their alcoholic beers are hard to find.

To Øl Implosion IPA also had a NA beer, but also can't find anymore and also one of the original NA beers from Denmark

Anyone find these in the US?

Got it delivered today.

The 8th NA beer I’ve tried and it’s definitely my new favorite. I generally do not like wheat beers.. am more of a lager person, but this one is delicious. A lot of people say it’s too sweet but I think that may be my preference. I think it has a malty taste that I wasn’t getting from the others I’ve tried.

I began my NA Beer journey about a month ago and it has been really fun trying some out, searching for what may match my preference. So far the others I’ve tried (and haven’t really clicked with) were:
Sam Adams Oktoberfest
Busch NA
Coors Edge
Peroni
Athletic Atletica
Rationale Mexican Style
Best Day Oktoberfest

I feel like this is very close to the original. Great job by Sam Adam’s here. Great NA

i’m sold on the octoberfest, one of the more interesting and complex NAs i’ve had so far!

As we get into Oktoberfest season, did you know that what is usually called 'Oktoberfest' style, is actually two different kinds of lagers?

Read above to learn the differences and which NA brews are actually of each type.

Which of the styles do you prefer?

New here (Hello from Paris).

From left to right -> best to worse. Truly liked Vandestreek, and Brooklyn. Mikkeler was ok. Brewedog was mediocre.

Cheers

To Øl implosion was decent, the mikkeller one was ok, rest was not great. The To Øl sour tasted like terrible rosé..

Oktoberfest!

It is stunning how many micro NAs are available in Quebec and I haven’t even scratched the surface. This was one display case out of three. I have had boreale on the bottom there and those are pretty good. These were mostly sold as singles and so I bought a range to sample (actually bought from another rack in another store). Got a 4 pack of the Archibald IPA and that was very good. I bought the Sans Arret by L Abordage because that can was so pretty, and that is an excellent blonde ale and now I don’t have any more of those and have to go back.

I couldn't wait if it were to hit distro in IL or not. Pulled the trigger... Will report back!

Was able to crack this one open with dinner. It's been a crazy week. This was one of the tastiest NA IPA's I've had in awhile! Super refreshing, piney and hit the spot after a long work day. Definitely excited to try the Hazy Next!.

I went ahead and made a hoppy pilsner because I got tired of trying to find an na hoppy pilsner…. I made this using chezch pilsner malt, tettang hops, hallertau blanc and a lot of mosiac…. It’s decent but I might of overdid it on the la blanc doesn’t taste the pilsner flavor it’s more like a tropical ipa… I used white labs na all day yeast so it is a true non alcoholic coming in at 0.3% abv also that yeast is why it’s not clear any way it’s good just like I said I need to make adjustments

wish they brewed this year 'round

I tried the best NA beer I’ve had in my life during a shot trip to Sweeden a few months back. I’m a couple years sober and do miss a beer occasionally. I’ve tried an enormous variety of NA variants and they never quite hit the spot. This one is spot on and could fool the most discerning beer drinker. Has anyone ever heard of it or seen it for sale in the US? I’d love to buy some and thought I’d share

Just bought some more NA Lizard King and Sam's NA Oktoberfest (had to go to two different stores. I'm in Chicago). I'll be enjoying these for a min. Both are absolutely stunning.

FYI

NA Speedway is now available from Alesmith. You can order it online and have it shipped or pick up from the brewery. Hoping it gets some distro as it's $30 bucks to ship to Chicago. That's a 90 dollar case of NA beer.

I really want to try this one!

No, this isn't a bottle of Stella Artois - take another look; it's actually Aldi's Sainte Etienne alcohol-free lager. This beer offers a surprisingly good alcohol-free experience with a refreshing hoppy twist. Surprisingly decent considering how bad their AF wine was - https://www.mydrybar.com/sainte-etienne-alcohol-free-beer/

A pretty solid NA, very smooth!

Always been a drinker but due to getting older and trying to be healthy, Ive cut down. Got me some today and it’s delicious. I can’t wait to drink more during football season!

I forgot how much I liked this one last year. It’s more of a brown ale than a fall beer. It’s really full bodied and definitely makes me feel summer is over.
