I like both the Athletic IPAs, with the hazy being the best. I've also tried the IPA from a Canadian company called Partake. For being only 10 calories, it was good. I wouldn't select it again, but I'd be happy to try other styles from them. The beer store in town here has a whole bunch of AF stuff. It's a little pricy there, but I'm going to keep trying stuff.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread per se but when I was in LA I tried a bottle of Lagunitas Hi-Fi Hops. Zero alcohol but infused with CBD and THC.

It was fantastic. As soon as this shit arrives in NYC, I'm buying a case of it. I might give up regular beer altogether!

I did end up ordering a couple of the fun non-store IPAs from the Athletic website. In the meantime, I got a couples Lagunitas IPNA because that was the only option available at Trader Joe's. Not the worst but kinda bad and I wouldn't buy it again. I've had their hoppy water before and it's pretty intense but enjoyable in a semi-painful way. Good for slow sipping. I prefer that.

I've had Sunset Stoke and it's good. I like the colors on that can too.

I've got some mangonada coming to me too, and also some of that sour in the purple can.

The hop refresher is so much better than the Lagunitas NA. The NA tastes like pennies.

Gotten complacent in my NA game, need to order some of those website Athletics.

"pretty intense but enjoyable in a semi-painful way" is basically what you should expect when it boils over

I got the last six-pack of Athletic at the grocery today. You'd think the beverage department would have adjusted their pars ahead of dry January.

I've recently quit drinking alcohol and my interest in NA beers is gaining momentum. Apparently there are some quite healthy and tasty options. I was initially deterred upon discovering NA beers can have up to 0.5% alcohol in them, and then I learned many products, including orange juice, have that % amount and sometimes more. Apparently some breads have around 1.5%! So it's not a problem. I can enjoy a beer or two and not have to worry about the shite alcohol would bring with it. So, come on board the wagon and enjoy some delicious beers with me, here in the NA Beer thread.

I was drinking Athletic beers and Lagunitas Hop Refresher for a while, but eventually I decided I was paying to much for that stuff, and just cut my weekday beers out.

Still, if I go to a bar with friends on a weeknight, I appreciate the options, so I don't have to drink.

I hear good things about Athletic! Looking forward to trying one. I'm willing to pay around the same as I normally would have for a quality 6-pack when drinking alcohol because I know I'll still save money (and health). I highly doubt I'll have more than 1 or 2 in an evening, as opposed to what would often happen with alcoholic beer, consuming close to or more than a 6-pack in a night.

A neighbor who is also sober heard of my sobriety and gave me a selection of his to try, and among them was Guinness Draught, which I haven't yet tried and a Guinness Kaliber, which I liked quite a bit.
