Now we do not condone the giving of alcoholic beverages to pets, but we do recognise that a dog is man’s best friend andContinue reading “Woof & Brew – Bottom Sniffer (0.0% ABV)”

Saltaire – Northern Light Single Hop Citra Pale (0.5% ABV)
Looking through the shelves of my local Asda (other supermarkets are available) for low alcohol beers I spotted this one amongst some of the better-known ones.

I have enjoyed some goodContinue reading “Saltaire – Northern Light Single Hop Citra Pale (0.5% ABV)”

Hoegaarden – Hoegaarden (0.0%* ABV)
Hoegaarden is probably the most familiar beer of its style (wheat beer with botanicals) available to UK drinkers and one I remember drinking at least 20 years ago. It’s the kind of beer that really divides opinions, it has its fans from long ago but there are plenty of drinkers who detest it. Indeed, myContinue reading “Hoegaarden – Hoegaarden (0.0%* ABV)”
