Directly from the Czech Republic, in a Czech lead crystal glass, but without Czech brass music on the turntable. Tastes very pleasant!

Smooth with a great taste and zero alcohol

Due to liver problems, I stopped drinking in 13 years ago. Not even a polite toast or tipple. Was recently given a green light from the doc for one beer a week.
Didnât go as planned. My goto comfort pints back in the UK when I was with family having a pub lunch (i.e. not trying to order a fancy pint with mates) were just Hooky (because it was 5 mins down the road) or John Smithâs Extra Smooth because Iâm simple that way. Neither available where I am now. My Japanese goto had been Premium Malts, so I went with that.
After 13 years of milk, tea, or water my taste buds had reverted to age 5. I pulled the same face as a child having their first sip from mumâs glass. Yuck. Couldnât get it down. Rest went down the sink.
Guinness is the only thing I can tolerate from whatâs available now. Not exactly fancy. But my wife knocks back Guiness on weekends so itâs always on hand. But given the choice, I stick with Suntory All-Free. Best non alcohol beer on the planet IME.

Best of luck your health is worth more than a beer. I love Japanese beers they always seem a fresh and clean taste.

@Pete_the_painter, this is one you should try if you havenât already - our favourite of the big-brewery brews in Japan, but havenât seen it exported.

I succumbed to the hype ⌠zero alcohol that is not 0.0 Guinness.
A good attempt but lacks the body of the real thing. But as it was on offer I thought I would give it a go.

Two pints of Wadworthâs 6X on draught at The Talbot in Ledbury. A black and white pub with decent food and comfortable beds. It turned out to be quiz night so entertainment too. Drank these with a light meal in a black panelled dining room with claimed musket ball holes from the English Civil War.

Another offering from the conglomerate, and another brewery that is closing completely. Iâm told that this beer is a travesty compared to the original from Cumberland. Nevertheless, itâs refreshing.

Nice to see a fellow pewter tanker user.

The large one was my fathers, the half pint a graduation present.
It reminds of drinking in a city den close to the old Billingsgate Market, where beer was served in pewter jugs alongside the tankards. Wish I could remember the name of the place ⌠I think there was a branch in Covent Garden. This was the late 70âs early 80âs.

Jennings Sneck Lifter, one of my all time favourites; such a shame that traditional breweries are being absorbed/lost.

We are fortunate to have a decent selection of small to medium sized independent breweries supplying our local. Itâs not something that can ever be taken for granted though.
Cheers,
