    Heading out tomorrow but am driving so will leave the beer alone.
    However I don't want to sit drinking Fanta all night so thought I'd give non-alco beers a go.
    Will all pubs have non-alco beer?
    Is there a particular brand I should ask for?
    I assume it's safe to drive even after 5-6 of these yokes?

    Most biggish pubs will have it. i think its around 0.1% alc but you should check each time as you could accidentally get the alco version.

    Paulanger is decent.

    Erdinger non alc(blue label) is the one I see around the most & most popular. I don't drink the non alc stuff myself as I loved the proper stuff far too much :D

    I deliver booze and erdinger seems to be the most popular and most bars stock it,tried it Xmas eve and it definitely beats soft drinks,I've been told becks non alco isn't the nicest.

    I've found most will have erdinger or becks. Personally i think erdinger is a bit heavy, but i never liked weissbiers anyway, and becks is a bit sugary or something. Personal preference is bavaria (claims to be 0.0%) but not too many pubs have it.

    Erdinger is widely enough stocked these days. I try to avoid pub scene a bit these days but can't run from it tomorrow night so think I'll be asking for it myself, can only take so many lucozades.

    So, found Paulander and Erdinger out.
    The Paulander was a bit sweet for my taste but towards the end of the first pint I kinda got used to it.
    The Erdinger was actually nice (I'm not a weissbier fan). If I have drive again that's what I'll stick to.

    The benefits with non-alco beer over soft drinks is that I don't get a sugar rush after a while, and no-one actually notices you're not drinking since it still looks like beer.
