At the time of writing, they are promising as "Coming Soon" a collection of Premium Craft Ales, though at a prospective £29.99 for (presumably) the 12 bottle option plus £6.99 delivery charge, that does seem expensive compared to Sainsbury's £1.29 for Nanny State.
Nevertheless, the site might be useful for looking into what is available. There are examples below though, again, the price of the red wine is more than twice what Amazon is charging for Eisberg.
I must say that I disagree with you about Brewdog's Nanny State. I bought a bottle and poured the bulk of it down the sink - disgusting. I would very much like to find a decent low alcohol beer in this country but have always been disappointed. Interestingly, I went to Iran a number of years ago, which does not tolerate alcohol consumption at all, and I had an 'alcohol-free' beer there - it was lovely - there was definitely something in it too, because my group all got very merry on half a dozen bottles each!! My circumstances are that I like to drink quite a lot, of real ale, in a session, but I don't like to get drunk. Typically I am happiest drinking 3.7-4.5 abv as those beers taste best to my palate. However, if I could find beer at 2.5-3.0 abv which tasted as good then I would choose it. If you look back in history a few hundred years, low alcohol beers were the norm and high alcohol was reserved for special occasions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
DeleteNanny State is very hoppy and it took some getting used to but I find it much more beer-like than the others I have found.
Marks & Spencer's Southwold Pale 0.5% (brewed by Adnams) is my second favourite.
But, if I had the choice, I would drink proper beer instead.
Cheers, Nick
