Due to some problems I had with my pancreas a few years back (bile duct blocked by gall stones), I’m not really able to stomach alcohol, which is a bit of a disappointment to me.

So from time to time I evaluate what I call “Not Beer” which is processed beer with the alcohol removed. Kaliber used to be the only one around, but recently Becks Non-Alcoholic has appeared in shops.

In a recent visit to our local Asda-Walmart in Livingston I purchased a couple of different options, this time in the low-alcohol bracket. I got some Clausthaler and also Stella low alcohol. I tried the Stella tonight from the fridge and it was rather good, nice and refreshing without the overpowering yeast flavour of the non alcoholic Becks. A success!
