I’ll give it 6 months before they pull the plug on this product.

Haven't they had this product for 20 years?
My dad used to drink this in the 90's

It’s always been a thing. There’s a solid market of recovering alcoholics and pregnant mothers.

For sober people it works great. Easy to blend in at parties which I'm guessing it is for. Some people don't want to drink because they know they will be driving home.

Yeah I give up booze every lent and I’ve thrown a 6 pack in the fridge each year just in case I miss the taste of beer*, it tastes more normal than odouls, st Pauli, coors NA, etc.


*beer used loosely here

and check this out...

Non-alcoholic craft brewery
quote:

Forget what you know about non-alcoholic beer. Those watered-down lagers have nothing on the rich, full-bodied craft-beer Bravus Brewing Company creates. We have spent years — and thrown away thousands of gallons of beer — in the pursuit of brewing non-alcoholic craft beer styles that tastes just like their fully-alcoholic counterparts. Our IPA smacks of fresh hops. Our Stout reveal hints of coffee, chocolate and caramel. Our Amber Ale is malty with a touch of bitterness. You will find it hard to believe that the cold, refreshing brew in your hand is non-alcoholic. But don’t take our word for it; visit a local establishment carrying Bravus or order it online.

Heniken 0.0 and the NA Radlers are huge in Europe during the summer months. Adults drink it during daytime hours typically with meals in lieu of sugary sodas. They like how you don't have the 2pm crash like you would after a couple of beers or sodas.

I think the prevailing thought is that if you're not trying to get drunk at lunch anyway, than the burger tastes a lot better with a beer than with a glass of water.

I know CSB, basically the ones that drank it weren't drinking it to substitute alcohol. They all still drank obscene amounts of real beer in the evening.

Theres this weird push for non alcoholic beers at the moment but it’s not like it’s a new concept. It’s almost trendy to drink them now

A new report from Global Market Insights predicts the market for non-alcoholic beer and wine in North America will grow from about $20 million in 2018 to an estimated $80 million by 2025. The predictions are based on advanced technology to brew non-alcoholic beer as well as consumer demand.

I’m about 2/3rds into 100 days w no alcohol. Heineken 0.0 is far and away the best N/A beer that I’ve found. I’m honestly not sure I could win a taste test with it and regular Heineken. As someone said, it goes pretty damn well with a burger.

I’ve tried a couple of others over the years (used to be in the food & bev industry) and most are horrific.

A lot of younger people seem to like the experience of drinking/bars without the alcohol. They’re a different bunch I guess.
