BEERS WITHOUT FEARS contains hundreds of my alcohol free beer reviews, so if you are looking to check out low and no alcohol beers you've come to the right place (the web version offers a handy search option). And there are some great online retailers for you to shop at, such as The Alcohol Free Co, Wise Bartender, The Alcohol Free Drinks Company and Dry Drinker. Cheers!
Erdinger - Weissbrau
The Erdinger brewery in Bavaria have been making wheat beers for more than a hundred years and this is their alcohol free offering. In common with some other AF beers it is marketed as a healthy lifestyle option - highlighting such characteristics as the vitamin B content and the fact that it is isotonic (a post-exercise drink in fact). It has a golden colour and a billowing white frothy head, rather like meringue. The aroma is subtle - rather malty and yeasty. It has a soft and creamy mouthfeel, and the taste is quite restrained, hinting at banana - which is typical of wheat beers. A very refreshing beer then, whether or not you have just run a marathon.
