I'm not a fan at all of 0.0 beer.  However, I'm at a Belgian restaurant and I noticed they have La Trappe Nillis which is a 0.0.  I decided to give it a whirl and was pleasantly surprised.  Obviously it's not in the same stratosphere as La Trappe or any Belgian tripel, but it's honestly not half bad.  The monks are savants when it comes to 🍺 🍺.

Some are better than others.  Most are at least half bad.

I like (NA varieties..):
Heineken (not really, but about as bad as Heineken)
Guinness (actually pretty good)
Brooklyn brewing IPAs
Untitled Art IPAs
Fremont IPA
Fremont Dark Star
Deschutes Black Butte

Those are the best.  Athletic stuff sux.

I should add: if you like light beers, pbr NA fits the bill

Never had the NA Black Butte, but the normal one is fantastic. Maybe I'll give it a try.

It's sweeter than I want it, but so is most every NA beer since the sugars didn't turn into alcohol.

Not n/a beer, but I've recently discovered these Spiritless Old Fashioneds and think they are a pretty decent approximation of a cocktail.

Guiness is my go to.

Untitled are decent.

Athletic - I like the seasonals, darker stuff and the Mexican lager

My body doesn't handle the effects of alcohol as well as it did in my younger days, so I switched to NA beer.  NA wine and mocktails are also starting to grow.

Some of my favorite from Untitled Art:

Chocolate Dark Brew
Mango Dragonfruit Sour
Orange Wit
West Coast and Juicy IPAs (even though I'm not usually an IPA fan)

Most of their offerings are decent.  Heineken and Stella Artois also have pretty good NAs.  Most restaurants in the Madison area offer at least some type of NA beer, so it's easy to get when dining out.

I tend to do NAs during the week or will mix them in for pacing when I know I'll be drinking for awhile. Athletic can be kind of thin but I generally like their stuff more than Next Day.

I haven't tried all their varieties yet, but I thought the Beero pils had suprisingly good flavor (despite the lame ass name).

Give the La Trappe Nillis a whirl.

I'll have to do that - I tend to sleep on the N/A versions of otherwise solid beers/breweries, but there's no rational reason for me to do that haha.

I won't touch NA's.

See the article in the latest National Geographic about the scientist for AB Inbev working to make better tasting NA's.  They mention that Athletic Brewing won't reveal it's proprietary brewing method.

I heard that they add manatee piss.
