It ain't Guinness, but it's not bad. (Guinness glass leftover from a small case of beer I got for Stephen for Valentine's Day, which included two glasses.)Maybe other places around the world have 100% alcohol-free beer, but as far as I know from the adverts, this is the first time Japan has had it.
After seeing this advertised on TV and in the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) magazine as a great alternative to drinking and driving, I was pretty surprised when I looked for it in the refrigerated beer section of the supermarket and couldn't find it. I asked one of the guys who worked there, and he trotted me around the store to the room-temperature soda section. Hmmmm. Kinda defeats the purpose, don't you think?
interesting how they keep it in the soda section...
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any alcohol free beer in Greece before. I wonder if it tastes like beer.
ReplyDeleteK and S - Yes, I couldn't believe it was in the soda section! Imi nai!
ReplyDeleteIvy - My husband just said that yes, apparently this is the first of its kind in the whole world. For something that has no alcohol whatsoever, it really does taste like beer!
