As for beer, I only drink NA in the afternoons here in hot Florida for thirst quenching. Clausthaler and Buckler are my #1 and #2. Real Cabernet at night though !

Try the new Clausthauler Dry Hopped as well if you like the hoppy flavor. If someone didn't know you would have no idea, aside from not getting a buzz.

Clausthaler is 86 calories.

Dilution of a bold California red with water to your taste alarm goes off, again bringing down the alcohol %, is a suggestion. One word of caution, however, is that not only will it dilute the alcohol, but will dilute the acid, which is a major component of the taste. A little bit of cream of tartar, 0.4mg/l, in a squeeze water bottle will do it good for a dilution mix.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am still looking for an acceptable solution for red wine.

My buddy and I were having lunch yesterday and he asked for NA beer. All they had was O'Douls Amber. Better than nothing.

To the OP, Clausthauler, Becks NA, and Buckler all taste like or better than regular. Most have only had the junk american NA beers.

Yes however the craft beers have made good taste choices better almost everywhere. My cardiologist says that, as long as the treatment is working, an ablation is best avoided.

- Kaliber (made by Guinness)
- O'Doul's (the regular variety)
- Sharp's (made by Miller Coors)
- Buckler (made by Heineken)
- Clausthaler (from Germany)
- Warsteiner Fresh (from Germany)
Of course, there are many more NA beers available today, and I'm told some are quite decent.

Thanks. I will be doing a survey in Mexico in 2 weeks. I hope to find some available in the supermarkets.

Yes I am hopeful that an acceptable red is discovered. Right now dilution with an NA Merlot is all I have found. I will be trying cream of tartar though.

Not to divert thread but at least talk to an electrophysiologist at a top center. You don't need to be on toxic drugs and manage this, you can be free of it and remember what life was like before it. In the right hands a-flutter ablation is easy and a doctor who says avoid is not giving you the full information you need to make your own decsion. That is all I will say. Best of luck. PM me if you want to talk.

Non sequitur: We offered an NA beer to some firefighters who brought a truck to a block party for the kids to see. They turned it down because it would make them smell like they’d been drinking regular beer on the job.
Never considered that side effect—“really, officer, I haven’t been drinking....”

While I can understand that they might want to err on the side of caution, my impression is that NA beer does not leave an odor on the breath. Isn't the alcohol rather than the barley, hops and malt that leaves one with "beer breath"? With just a trace of alcohol in NA beer I don't think it leaves an odor. (And if others are like me, one or two NAs are all I care for in a sitting. Whereas with real beer I was often interested in a few more than that. That could have had something to do with tha aroma on the breath.)
