I like having a beer after work and trying to have more alcohol free/low alcohol versions so I'm not drinking every day. Often alcohol free beers are the same price in shops as their alcoholic counterparts. Where do people shop to get good deals on low alcohol beers?

Hello. Thank you so much to all those who answered a previous query on dark beers begginning with U. I am putting together a dark beer advent calendar to create an acronym. The last part of my first draft is a dark beer starting with the letter A.... Any suggestions? :)

Imagine you’re hosting for your friends. You want 20ish beers (they can have 2/3 on me, they can bring their own if they want more), and you don’t want to pay much too much for them. Very little appeal of those 12 packs of Stella or San Miguel or Budweiser, and I’m not going near the Brewdog multipacks. What would you go for?

I'll be in Wales for the first time in my life in two weeks for a work thing. I've got three hours free on Saturday night. What can I do for craft beer fun?

Currently sat in The Black Boy after a very last minute decision to say in Winchester for the night. Amazing pub!

Any craft recommendations?

Hello. I am putting together a selection of beers but struggling to find a Porter / Stout which starts with the letter U… the beer name not the brewery.

Anyone got any suggestions 🙏

I have a few Brew York cans where the best before date has long passed - in some cases nearly 18 months ago! Mostly duplicates of average beers from the monthly box. Will these be worth drinking, particular as some (looking at you watermelon sour) were rubbish to start off with?! 🤣🤣

It’s my 30th next month so looking to get a few US beers in to celebrate. Looking for Tree House, Alchemist and others.

I’m aware of Elbow Cask & Craft, Bucketlistbeers and SecuringWesternPints on Instagram but wanted to know if there’s any others I should be aware of?

Thank you in advance!

Is it just me or do they mostly taste the same? I know it’s spoons and I’m not expecting amazing quality or anything, but I’ve had Double Maxim Brown Ale, Doom Bar and Abbots Ale and they all taste more or less the same to me lmao.

I regularly drink bottles of Double Maxim from the supermarket and it’s one of my favourite drinks, but it tastes completely different whenever I get it on cask in spoons; and by different I mean wayyy worse.

Hi as above, I know Neptune have but usually cloudwater, utopian, donzoko do them too.

Will be ordering some german ones as per usual but i like the uk ones too.

I'm going to be in Redditch for a few hours tomorrow and was wondering if there are any good pubs there? All of them very disappointing but I was wondering if there's one I've missed?

so, usually when i go out, i stick to spirits like malibu, or cocktails. however, i want to broaden my horizons and try different ales, and possibly some lagers.

i work in a wetherspoons, so i'm pretty familiar with the drinks on draught and guest ales, things like that.

so far, i've tried (ranking from worst to best) guiness (however, this was from a can so it doesn't really count) buffalo (a guest ale by fire island) worthingtons (i prefered it before it fully settled) doom bar white star (guest ale) newcastle brown

is there any others that would be easy and light to start on before i move to anything heavy?

What an amazing brewery Phantom Brewing really are.

Feeling This is such an amazing pale ale that is a perfect summer pint.

I've enjoyed some of the other beers from Phantom. Fast becoming a favourite brewery of mine.

I’ve had it once and loved it but seems so hard to find. Where are ppl getting cruzcampo on tap in London?

So I try and go out of my way to drink imported beer wherever possible, and seeing this in Aldi amid all the recent Estrella Galicia media dissing of fake Spanish beers, left me feeling a bit miffed after looking into it.

Drinking the real deal Estrella Galicia Especial beer in Spain (also Damm etc) you're getting a full fat 5.5 Spanish lager that just hits the spot like continental beers used to do.

Seeing this is a 4.7 lager that albeit brewed in Spain could have been knocked up on the same industrial estate as Madri etc.

A couple of years back San Miguel was sending over some of the proper 5.5 special lager but that seems to have disappeared off the shelves.

Not sure what I'm getting at but thought I'd attempt getting it off my chest best I could 😄🍻 cheers

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from drinking craft beer (about eight years) and just wondered what everyones go to online beer store or brewery was?

I used to use Ales by Mail and Beers of Europe but the former is no more and the latter tends to be out of stock if the decent UK breweries.

Thank you.

Any recommendations?
