I've heard it said that Guinness had to stop advertising itself as a health tonic because of the alchohol. Now in a non-alcoholic format, I guess they could revive that advertising stream.
I'm the same, if I fancy a drink I fancy a drink. Not a copycat drink. hic.I couldn’t drink Alcohol free beer if i was paid
having sad that i haven’t tried it since the days of Kalibar which was minging.
i’ll assume it’s a lot better these days

0.0 Guiness for breakfast..Hmmn you have got me thinking now. How lovely to be able to enjoy a cold can of Guiness with my lunch at work, safe in the knowledge that there are no laws broken. Certainly beats a bland cup of Tea on a nice summers day. I may just have to give that a go.It is a damn sight better (for flavour) nowadays. The technology has moved on considerably and to be frank, I don't see it as a non-alcoholic beer but just an adult drink. I don't like pop or fruit juice and water gets very boring. I can also enjoy free time beers without having to plan around whether or not I need to drive ... and I can have a Guinness for breakfast without condemnation.
Just a short few years back I had to concede that I was an alcoholic. I took recovery very seriously and actually the psychotherapy got to the nub of my addictive nature and it transpired that alcohol was NOT the drug I was looking for ... it was nicotine that was my special drug that kept on giving and ironically the one I gave up many years ago. Anyway, short of it is, I do drink alcohol every now and again and actually had a couple of Guinnessesses on holiday over the last couple of weeks - I actually found that I preferred the non-alcoholic version for flavour and refreshment!
But yes, Kaliber was minging! Guinness have absolutely absolved themselves now ...
I stopped believing anything the Big Yin said after he did those Kaliber ads. "It's guid lager, ah'm tellin' ye". It is NOT, ye lying barsteward!I couldn’t drink Alcohol free beer if i was paid
