    I asked when it was launched, it was answered by brewnut who brought information to the thread.

    The post i replied to put it in the thread as if it was new news, not based on launch time frames.

    My point is it was already under discussion.

    No need to be sarkey its thursday....

    500ml or 470ml can though?
    The Public Health (Alcohol) Act doesn't apply to it, so 500ml, of course, with a floating widget. Ingredients listing laws do apply, however, so you'll find fructose on there, as well as "natural flavourings", which the brewer at the press launch today wouldn't be drawn on.

    Can't be much, given it's trying to replicate Guinness :pac:

    Drinking one now. It's pretty convincing. They've certainly nailed the texture and tangy sourness of real Guinness. It still has the sweet worty thing that dealcoholised beers tend to have, it's just muted because of the roast.

    Looking forward to trying one of these! :) I liked the mid strength Guinness back in the day too...when I could get it. Didn't get the hatred for it at all.

    Will the NA Guinness farts be as lethal? Genuine question btw.

    The lemon one isn't bad either.

    Had the Erdinger Lemon last night. Quite nice, radler like almost. Got a little sweet as it warmed up but I think I'll pick a few up again to have when I want something cold and refreshing.

    That was great stuff, for weddings or long days on the sauce. Is it gone altogether? I remember seeing in places up until maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Am v excited RE the non alcoholic Guinness, if it captures the texture I'll be happy.

    I haven't seen it in years sadly. Hopefully the new stuff lives up to the promise!

    Guinness Mid-Strength is still on the go, but only in sports club bars, by and large. The company says it won't be affected by the launch of Guinness 0.0.

    I don't get the point of Guinness mid-strength Why drink it instead of the full one.

    You can drive. It's specifically a beer for drivers. Outside of golf club bars the only place I've seen it is Donheny & Nesbitt where civil servants and bankers go for pints before driving home.

    The 0-0 Guinness hasn’t made it to my local Tesco yet. Would it be in the Carry-Out off licenses at this stage???

    I must admit, when I heard about this I went through the same thought process as I did with the meat-free Beyond Burger - sacrilege, abomination, why mess with the real thing, etc.

    But just like the Beyond Burger, I will definitely try it. (the burger was actually quite convincing)

    The Guinness N/A I'm looking forward to. I'm a bit of a light weight with Guinness so having 1 proper pint and 1 of these will suit be perfect!

    Or mix the 2, for 2% guinness. You could dilute 8 cans into 16, so you probably wouldn't be as hungover. Alchemy. I'm a genius.

    Had a Kinnegar low tide last night. 0.5% Pale Ale. It was nice and I’d get it again if going for a low alcohol beer

    The aldi roadworks alcohol free version is very close. I find it has the same body of a real ipa and it does not have the wort aftertaste you get with alcohol free beer.

    I get Early Start regularly, it has a nice little hop kick. On the same shelf they usually have Baltika zero alcohol lager which is also very good.

    Early Start by Roadworks - what kind of beer is this? larger, IPA or..?
