Sam Adams Hazy IPA NA

Good. Not great. Would buy again given the competitive pricing on 12-pack

Hate to admit it, but that's been one of my go-to favorites since this little wave of better NA products kicked off a few years ago. A lot of NA beers now get the flavor pretty good, but fall short on texture. I find that particular Sam Adams offering holds up well on both fronts, as does the Guinness 0 product. There was also Two Roots Brewing that had NA beers that hit the mark for both flavor and texture. Unfortunately, they went out of business last year.

Find yourself some Deschutes Fresh Squeezed NA

It's almost imperceptibly different. I think I'd struggle to tell the difference between them and it's by far the beer I've bought most of the last decade.

Anyways, it's also in a fairly similar flavor profile to the Sam Adams IPA. I'd say the Sam is quite a bit sugary sweeter whereas the Fresh Squeezed has more of a subtle sweetness.

oh. I've been meaning to ask if you've found any NA whiskeys you've liked. I thought you were looking into those a while back.

Everyone please drink all the Ayinger Celebrator you can, so more places carry it. I can only get it at high end wine stores down here. Not even Wegman's carries it.

Make this a thing, please.
 
Pro Tip: fresh herbs in cocktails are spectacular.

rosemary and bourbon (not sure about NA substitutes) is probably my favorite combo.

Herbs work great. Rosemary and mint are favorites of my wife.

Mint, lime juice, soda water = good mojito replacement for example. You can add a splash of raspberry or even cranberry to add a bit of character.
 
I was down in New Orleans for a few days for a conference recently. Had the opportunity to have Abita Amber again and was happy with that as I hadn't had it in years and can't really find it out west where I am. Also had some Sazeracs for the 1st time. Generally pretty tasty though some places were better than others. I did enjoy the subtle herb and anise flavors from the absinthe/herbsaint used to coat the glass. Will certainly consider making them at home as I did find Sazerac rye at the local liquor store and some absinthe options.
