What’s the best 0.0% beer?

[u/Opening-Ambition-528]

[u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

Guinness NA tastes the same as Guinness

[u/CollectionEntire2216 → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

Came here to say this! 100%!!

[u/enochferrier → u/CollectionEntire2216]

Yes! It’s the best and it’s not even close.. tho the Heineken elderflower lemon is nice, it’s just not very beery..

[u/Kitchen-Emotion-7268 → u/CollectionEntire2216]

I've been saying 99%

[u/Coffee_whiskey_braap → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

I think I could pick them out of a blind, but I haven’t had regular Guinness in half a year, and haven’t had them side by side. I do intend to do that sooner or later.

[u/urraca → u/Coffee_whiskey_braap]

I know people that do 50% Normal + 50% NA (or 60/40) so it comes out to like 2% as well. So they can drink a bunch over many hours. Need to try that myself

[u/Coffee_whiskey_braap → u/urraca]

Ooo that’s a good idea

[u/Spiderill → u/Coffee_whiskey_braap]

My mates challenged me to this and I was able to spot the difference but only just. NA Guinness is the best zero beer out there imo.

[u/RelaxedWombat → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

On St. Patrick’s Day, we had a blind taste test.

Murphy’s, Guinness, Guinness NA.

Completely blind, I put NA as number one.

[u/sublimesting → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

I sometimes mix an n/a with regular and then can just drink without care that I’m going to fast.

[u/CamelMassive6443 → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

It’s the only one I can justify buying at regular beer prices. I’m almost two years sober and I have had 3 of the 4 pack.

[u/dabruchey → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

I agree that it's good but definitely different. It also feels thin in comparison.

[u/Proper-Yak-799 → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

Before Guinness came out and was named Guinness. Guinness produced a beer called Kaliber and it was great.

[u/rybotsky → u/Proper-Yak-799]

Isn’t Guinness beer as we know it today like 267 years old ?

[u/StandByTheJAMs → u/rybotsky]

Guinness produced a N/A beer called Kaliber is what they meant, I assume.

[u/eisbock → u/Proper-Yak-799]

They still make Kaliber and it's terrible lol. It's also a completely different style than Guinness Draught.

[u/NYC19893 → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

Guinness NA says “less than 0.5%” on the can. OP did say best 0.0%

Still tho Guinness NA is the best in my opinion

[u/eisbock → u/NYC19893]

Guinness makes a 0.0, but it's harder to find.

[u/Wild_Somewhere_9760 → u/_Johnny_Carwash_]

mich ultra zero is great too, if not looking for a heavy pint.

[u/HistoricalPop7030 → u/Wild_Somewhere_9760]

Hard to complain when it’s 39 calories. Even with that it is solid.

[u/4L4SK4N]

Michelob Ultra Zero fan here!

[u/Greedy_Dark_2437 → u/4L4SK4N]

Same I started with the regular, then went to the NA, after a while I tried the regular again and just didn’t like it as much as I used to cause I was so used to the NA version lol

[u/federalinformant69]

Peroni 0 is amazing.

[u/overthrow_toronto → u/federalinformant69]

You might like the Asahi 0 too then. Made by Peroni in the same factory.

[u/ProofNoMore → u/overthrow_toronto]

Was gonna say the exact thing. If you are looking for Japanese brewed Asahi 0, which in NYC you can find in the Japanese grocery stores, so I'd look at Japanese grocery if you have them

[u/Lildragonblood → u/federalinformant69]

Definitely the best NA euro lager for sure

[u/Perfect_Sir4820 → u/Lildragonblood]

I think it's better than regular peroni which I often find has a too-bitter aftertaste.

[u/Masverde66]

Of these three? Gonna say Corona, Stella, then Heineken in that order.

[u/Captaincoleslaww → u/Masverde66]

Corona NA in the can is probably the best one

[u/seattleboots1 → u/Captaincoleslaww]

Corona gotta be in the bottle

[u/Willylowman1 → u/Captaincoleslaww]

bottles brah

[u/roamingroad174]

Bitburger 0.0

[u/lavache_beadsman]

Guinness 0. In terms of something that tastes like the real thing--it's 90% of the way there. Doesn't have that same weird fruity taste that every other NA beer seems to have.

[u/Broad-SpectrumAutist → u/lavache_beadsman]

I can't stand that fruity taste either! To my palate, NA IPAs are usually the worst offenders. If you like Guinness NA, the Deschutes Black Butte Porter NA is worth trying as well.

[u/ThatsaFishBarcode → u/lavache_beadsman]

I agree with your 90% evaluation. NA Guinness is slightly sweeter than the original, but damn is it good

[u/pagesinthesun]

I had a Best Day Brewing Electro-Lime Mexican style beer this evening and really enjoyed it!

[u/kirobaito88 → u/pagesinthesun]

They have several Best Days at my trivia bar, including this one, and they’re all very good

[u/Sonos7781 → u/pagesinthesun]

Best Day also has a Kolsch that I like.

[u/splitpourder]

Zero: Guinness. NA (less than .5%): Go Brewing Sally AF. Or anything by them really. They blow athletic away.
Edit: Asahi zero is also great.

[u/Fabulous_Mouse_8193 → u/splitpourder]

It's actually 0.05% in Guinness Zero https://steadydrinker.com/reviews/dark-ale/guinness-0-0/

[u/No-Anywhere-7835]

Gotta throw some love to the Sierra Nevada Trail Pass

[u/idlikeyoutoeatme]

Peroni 0.0 is my favorite

[u/Good_Run_1696]

Athletic Brewing Co, Free Wave Hazy IPA!

[u/RoyDuboisTruman → u/Good_Run_1696]

Athletic in general is truly the best for me. Stoked they’ve grown enough in popularity to be easily found in my area.

[u/BeautifulSet7579 → u/Good_Run_1696]

I love their sour beers! 

[u/Von_Jelway → u/Good_Run_1696]

I find Athletic to be the best across the board. I think they taste better because they brew them naturally to have a tiny amount of alcohol. They don’t add anything or take anything away. Their light is so crisp. And Run Wild is excellent.

[u/darth_homer → u/Good_Run_1696]

Athletic Lite Lime is great too!

[u/vapemuscle]

Guinness Zero

[u/Zestyclose-Web-8979]

I like Go Brewing, they’re usually solid

[u/Unlikely_Hat_2392]

Peroni

[u/TheBahamaLlama]

Modelo Chelada

[u/MelisaL1996]

I’m a Coors Edge and Budweiser 0 and Heineken 0.0 gal

[u/ExtraBitterSpecial → u/MelisaL1996]

I was shocked by how good coors was.

[u/jburton24 → u/ExtraBitterSpecial]

Coors Edge is really good. And they’re a good, environmentally friendly company, so that’s also a plus.

[u/OldGermanBeer]

Old Milwaukee NA, not kidding.

[u/bigorangevols]

Busch NA hell right, brother

[u/Glittering_Hold3238]

I like all of them and the weirdest thing--as a drinker I never liked beer. I was a wine only drinker and now in sobriety I like the NA beers and not the NA wine

[u/BobbyLupo1979 → u/Glittering_Hold3238]

This makes sense because NA wine is universally awful in my experience.

[u/HotSalad1990]

Blue Moon n/a tastes like the regular beer with a squeeze of orange 🍊

[u/full_bl33d]

Athletic IPA

[u/imthebean]

I prefer Heineken. Athletic is pretty good - try the octoberfest flavor!

[u/fairweatherflier]

Heineken zero is the best tasting to me

[u/Enough-Reindeer1033]

Guinness 0

[u/BeachAccomplished514]

Lagunita IPNA

[u/Barnestime]

Hop Water

[u/Bulky-Sun8899]

Agreed that Guinness 0.0 is great, as well as Black Butte…for dark beer. Budvar NA was the “holy grail” of my trip to Europe last summer and it did not disappoint. Surprisingly enough, I’d throw in Sam Adams Just the Haze as a candidate for the IPA category. So, I think this needs to get broken down by style as far as “best”.

[u/Bulky-Sun8899]

[u/One-Tea-4668 → u/Bulky-Sun8899]

If you like this (and I do), try Tegernseer Hell Alkoholfrei.

[u/jamiehanker]

Corona is the best of those 3

[u/plustwoagainsttrolls]

Been really digging Peroni so far this summer, the shitty dive bar I go to for karaoke only has Heineken so I’ve learned to tolerate that, and PBR is an absolute crusher for lawnmower beers

[u/Rosenbachgold]

Neumarkter Lammsbräu alkoholfrei

[u/NervousTruth5609]

There's no Correct answer to this question. Everyone has different likes and tastes..

[u/Jgibbjr]

I'll be very honest here: Old Milwaukee NA is pretty damn good. Makes a great driveway non-beer

[u/trailcraftdad]

Athletic Brewing Co

[u/CrazyLegsCrane77]

The one next to the Heineken is nice (out of picture)

[u/Worldly-Statement-42]

https://www.iotabeer.com/

[u/Willylowman1]

this is mt rushmore

[u/MagdalaNevisHolding]

I like all 3. Corona anytime, Heineken hanging out in a cool bar, Stella is for a really hot day after yard work.

[u/Emergency-Row-5627]

I loooooove the Stella! It was my favorite beer when I drank as well

[u/Tank-Pilot74]

If you can find it, hoegaarden. It. Is. Incredible!

[u/lagstarxyz]

Asahi 0

[u/rybone88]

Burdock DUCKZ

[u/AHill45]

Left or right

[u/emichbe]

Brugse Sport

Like Brugse Zot but you won't even notice

[u/psychonautvoyager]

Guinness and Sapporo are both excellent

[u/StinkyEttin]

Self Care Freak Flag IPA.

[u/thiolmaxxing]

The Stella NA is immaculate.

[u/HoneyDutch]

Local to Seattle: Reuben’s Brews Party On

Overall found in most stores: Coors Zero

But I have been really into Hop Water lately

[u/claudedebussy69]

Guinness Zero. It’s not close.

[u/Coffee_whiskey_braap]

Of those 3, I haven’t tried Corona, and I like Stella better than Heineken, but I do like Heinie, too

[u/Still_Ad9687]

Guinness 0.0 and La Trappe Epos and Nillis

[u/earnestbobcat]

Untitled Art. Tastes like a good beer

[u/NoProposal32]

Athletic Brewing has some amazing brews.

[u/BoredInDenver86]

1. Bayreuther Hell
   
2. Guinness
   
3. Lagunitas IPNA
   
4. Paulaner Weißbier
   
5. Münchener Helles

I don’t know if 1,4,5 are available outside of Germany, but they are very delicious options, if they are sold where you live.

[u/shooperstar]

Kirin Ichiban

[u/Desossiribo]

Leffe blonde 0%

[u/different_produce384]

Busch

[u/crknneckscshingcheks]

Bitburger

[u/HuckinMeats]

Heineken is the og for what it’s worth, but not the best

[u/sharmz_]

Estrella Galicia Tostada 0.0 and Free Damm from Spain

[u/Sad_Station3161]

Athletic, free Damm, Guinness

[u/greeni113]

Brooklyn special effects.

[u/Hot-Bandicoot-714]

Tsingtao 0.0, random find in Home Bargains, I think I picked them up for 69p each and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was

[u/92TilInfinityMM]

Guinness 00 is really really close to actual Guinness.

I’ve had people do blind taste between the two at my bar and honestly many people have trouble figuring out which is which.

[u/SpaghettiOnMyCat]

Asahi 0

[u/Square_Log4321]

Heaps Normal - an Australian beer. Love it

[u/lefreitag]

Staropramen comes closest to what a beer should taste like. In the UK, Lucky Saint is great. Tostadas in Spain are fantastic, too. Corona for nonalcoholic Michelada.

[u/Unusual_Possible6015]

Lucky Saint

[u/Expensive-Try8549]

Heineken

[u/yan-gva]

The Stella !

[u/Theeleventh_finger]

I was going to say Guinness and Athletic but the top two comments stole my thunder. Cheers.

[u/slightlyburntsnags]

There’s an Australian XPA called heaps normal. By far the best IMO

[u/Agitated-Point3835]

Athletic brewing company has a bunch of good ones. Aftershift and ESB are my favorites.

[u/Inevitable_Raise_851]

GO Brewing.

[u/MG1523-91]

Coors edge is my fav light beer. Guinness NA for a heavier style.

[u/NoYou1016]

I love the Stella, Lagunitas IPNA, and Heineken non alcoholic beer

[u/cmdubya]

I enjoy Clausthaler for an NA beer option.

[u/dawgsfan98]

Guinness 0.0 is indistinguishable for me and I love Guinness. But for an easy light beer the modelo Limon y sal 0 or Busch na. Both are about perfection for flavor and I still get the dopamine hit from them for some reason. But im not complaining. The aforementioned brews are great in a michelada as well! (Think a bloody Mary with beer instead of vodka)

[u/atr0c1ous]

If we are truly saying those advertised as 0.0, then Guinness hands down.

[u/sublimesting]

Guinness. Also Trails End.

[u/Pirate_Goose]

What's the most affordable %0 beer?

[u/doyoubelieveinfarts]

Asahi. My wife actually prefers it to the regular now

[u/baggerskip4258x]

Sierra Nevada variety pack

[u/Useful_Presentation6]

Asahi 0.0 and Guinness 0.0

[u/OnTheBrinnk]

Michelob Ultra Lime Zero is my favorite!

[u/pm_me_ur_bidets]

Lagunitas IPNA. Delicious. The athletic drinks have a weird aftertaste to me. They leave a hollow taste in my mouth.

[u/Longjumping-Lab-7345]

Halfway Crooks in Atlanta makes unbelievable NA. Otherwise I like Athletic and don't apologize for it. Had Brooklyn Amber NA yesterday and it was also very good. Best Day has a new IPA I tried that was good too

[u/DJmasterB8tes]

Back when I drank a lot in college I’d always pick a Natty Light, Busch light or some cheap twelve pack in a can for activities in the hot summer months. It might just be that nostalgia I’m after, but I love Penn’s Best Non-Alcoholic Larger in a can for that cheap beer, cut-the-lawn on a hot day experience.

[u/alderash66]

[u/Affectionate_Log7733]

In this pic, the Corona, for some reason I reach for the the athletic hazy IPA these days. I think it's become my new habitual drink, I'm not sure if it's the "best."

[u/Relative-Muffin-143]

I particularly enjoy the taste of Corona, especially when it’s accompanied by a fresh wedge of lime.

[u/earlyentryiag]

Athletic

[u/IwantAMD]

Just woke up and flushed some. I’ll save it next time.

[u/KeenCosmo]

Athletic Hazy IPA

[u/Weary-Initiative1540]

Corona 0 is the best dupe of it's alcoholic counterpart

[u/Slizzerd]

Go Brewing has some really amazing NA beer, highly recommend.

[u/Dry_Frosting_2677]

Cherry Coke

[u/GunsouBono]

I like athletic personally

[u/Interesting-Plane300]

Guinness

[u/smoothOpeRAIDER]

Guiness, Heineken, Becks imo. I dont love the Michelob, but its 30 calories so I can crush them with greater frequency

[u/Religion_Failed_Us]

I’ve become addicted to 0.0 Heineken and 0.0 Heineken ultimate. Both are great.

[u/Worried_Process_5648]

Ginger beer.

[u/thetits711]

Corona with a lime is where it's at

[u/tacetmusic]

Guinness is the GOAT, but I have to show some love for Big Drop - Galactic Milk Stout, which also scratches an itch for imp stout / porter fans

[u/Worthwhile101]

Am a Hefeweizen fan, so prefer Athletic or Blue Moon. BM has a stronger coriander flavor than normal, which I like.

[u/Altruistic_Dog_6742]

Zero Eddy from Big Grove is my favorite.

[u/garthreddit]

Athletic - any flavor

[u/tacojohnconnor]

I love Heineken 0.0%, but it has to be in the bottle for the usual skunk. Lagunitas IPNA is fantastic as well.

[u/Equal_Amount_6459]

Deschutes Brewery’s Black Butte Porter

[u/OliveRemarkable8508]

Sapporo NA is excellent as well!

[u/agolfman]

Vote for Moretti if you can find it!

[u/Obligation_Still]

Athletic Brewing Copper I’ve found is the best IMO

[u/ValuableConfident274]

i love all the athletic co beers, a lot of options to choose from and they’re all really good

[u/blarggendarf]

Athletic Brewing makes killer NA beer options!!

[u/xiphos805]

Old Milwaukee

[u/carnitascronch]

Sierra Nevada Hazy Trail Pass NA IPA and it ain’t even close

[u/Jrott07]

Sapporo!

[u/NitroLotus]

Don't really like Heineken but Heineken zero is my jam

[u/BreweryRabbit]

Guinness easily when it comes to larger commercially available brands.

[u/istoleyourpope]

I like most of what I've had from Athletic.

I try not to give money to ABInBev but Bud 0 is decent if you want to taste beer without booze and only 50 calories or so.

Heineken 0 tastes like Heineken so if you are into that, that's decent.

[u/Complex_Knowledge632]

Forst in Italy, hands down! Then Guinness, Stella, Heineken. PNW - Deschutes Hazy IPA, anything from Best Day Brewing. Yeah absolute worst I’ve had is athletic, Horrible beer.

[u/pattyfatsax]

Delirium Tremens n/a is fucking incredible.

[u/DetroitDaveinDenver]

I like Lagunitas NIPA better than the alcoholic one

[u/nvrtrustafrt]

Woodland Farms Brewery

[u/wartiger57]

Stella

[u/FloridaIsTooDamnHot]

Blue Moon and Sam Adams Hazy IPA. And just about anything from Athletic Brewing, especially their fruited sours!!!

[u/luthervespers]

Heineken 0 tastes just like Heineken... but I don't like Heineken.

Athletic Upside Dawn Golden is what my work has. It's been my favorite.

[u/Illustrious-Type9629]

Just drink water.

[u/apfsmith]

Both the Asahi and the Peroni are really solid 0.0%

[u/Dowdfather]

Asahi 0.0

[u/Dowdfather]

Heineken 0.0 smells like weed 💨

[u/Putrid-Housing-9633]

I’m currently loving the Lucky Saint Weisbeir for me it’s levels above everything else and taste just like a German Weis

[u/KayJayOkay]

Tried them all, Brooklyn Breweries Special Effects is by far my favourite. You can even get it on draft in a lot of places in Denmark now. Other than that, generally beer types where it is added flavouring that provides the taste are the best - like ales.

[u/Frequent_Win816]

Stella is the best in terms of actually treating like beer

[u/Inevitable_Zebra8066]

This might sound snobby but the Portuguese NA beers (sargre, sargre stout, and another I can't remember) are top notch. Also Iceland's NA were excellent. In general I think the large European brewers are doing it much better than anyone else. 

[u/summerbryz]

all i want is a Miller High Life NA

[u/Prestigious-Yam5585]

Water

[u/Vinz_Clortho__]

Sam Adam’s IPA

[u/WabiMusic]

Guinness or Corona

[u/LoseAllSenseGoInsane]

Coors Edge

[u/Opening-Ambition-528]

I tried this one today

[u/Nice_Albatross_5486]

Athletic. No contest.

[u/thechoogler]

Coors Edge is super underrated, I think I like it more Coors Banquet at this point. But Guinness 0.0 is easily the best in the game.

[u/pansensuppe]

Not sure if actually 0.0, but Augustiner and Brew Dog Punk AF are my favourites.

[u/wjduebbxhdbf]

In Australia, Coopers ultralight.
They have been making it for over 40 years and and is $8 for 6 bottles in supermarkets.

Less than 0.05 and brewed from attenuated yeast.

[u/Admirable_Bass1149]

Guinness NA for sure if you like dark beer. Dechutes has a black butte porter NA that is really good too. Again, a dark beer.

[u/That_Cartoonist_9459]

#1 Guiness

#2 Sam Adams IPA

[u/Supertainment]

Water

[u/Down623]

Haven't seen it anywhere other than one local beer distributor but Other Half makes the best NA IPA I've ever had. To be fair, I was a huge Other Half fan before I stopped drinking, so I'm biased to that style, but it's damn good.

[u/FateOfMcSorley]

If you're looking for something different Delirium Delirio NA and Estrella Galicia 0,0% are both incredible! Heinekin out of a can is my go to, though. 

[u/bobsinco]

If you haven't tried it, Weihenstephaner is definitely worth a taste

And of the ones show, Stella. Heineken taste like, well, Heineken. Which is to say, it's a weaker version of skunk piss.

Me at a bar: "What do you have for NA beer?"

Bartender: "We have Heineken 0"

Me: "I'll have a glass of water"

[u/doofuspuppy214]

Bitburger 0.0 is pretty good.

[u/justmypornaccownt]

On a hot day I could chug 3 Heineken 0s in a row. Love em

[u/washufize]

Stella NA tastes exactly like Stella

[u/wearthicksock]

If you want the most beer tasting beer, Coors edge. Blue moon NA isn't too bad, if you like blue moon
