The Hackney Butchers Association

The next one in my quest to start drinking a little less in the week...  This one is 0.5% alcohol, which will have no effect unless you drink a bathtub full. This is a nice drink that actually tastes like lager! I got it from Tescos, it's mass produced and should be readily available. A few of the other alcohol free beers I've tried have an unpleasant bitter metallic taste.  This one is clean, light, and refreshing with a malty taste.  Quite impressive considering how bad some of the others are! I might try one out on a friend and see if they can spot that it's low alcohol... Also recommended is the Bavaria Wit 0% (Wheat Beer)

This is a great light ale from a fantastic small brewery, HOBSONS in Mortimer, Shropshire. Well worth a look if you like ale.  A total waste of time if you don't. Even more exciting, you can order direct delivery from this link.  CLICK HERE The site has six breweries, & delivers anywhere.  It would be brilliant for a special event.  You can order cases of bottles, 18/36pint polybins, or even barrels.  Enjoy!

This a delicious lager from a micro brewery based in Alloa - Central Scotland.  3.9%, so not too strong.  It's got a great caramel after-taste. They make a lot of different brews.  CHECK THE FULL RANGE HERE So far I've only tried a few.  There's always tomorrow... I didn't get on too well with their 'Premium Red' to be honest.  Then again I don't really like any Red beers.  I find them too vinegary.  There you go. The IPA (India Plae Ale) is also very good and worth looking out for. They sell this one at Odbins.  They also do online ordering , though you have to order 5 cases minimum.  I can think of worse things.
