TLAP: Guinness 0.0

On a recent pub visit, I asked the corkscrew-haired, indie-chick barmaid if she had Guinness 0.0 - she thought for a bit, disappeared from view, then came back with a can in her hand and said it was the last one they had left. Lucky me...

Guinness 0.0

Guinness 0.0

What's it like? I'll be honest, I'm not the most frequent drinker of the black stuff, so maybe I'm not best placed to judge... but as far as I can tell, this looks like regular Guinness, feels like regular Guinness and tastes like regular Guinness. I'm not sure I could easily tell the difference, and what more could anyone ask from an alcohol-free beer? On top of that, it's tasty too. As with regular Guinness, it takes the first inch of the pint for me to get acclimatised, but after that I'm off and running.

Would I drink it in a pub? Yes.

Would I drink more than one? Yes. It's a creamy, tasty pint!

Would I drink it all night? Possibly not, but only because Guinness can be quite heavy, so I might need some variety.

Stats: 0.0% ABV. Calories 85 kcal/500ml. Fat free! Currently £13.25 for a 10x440ml cans in Sainsbury's

Stars: ★★★★★

So, a song. I was going to go with Zero by The Donnas, but the Imagine Dragons song of the same name gets the nod, not least for its unusual video and deceptively heavy lyrics.

  1. 'Deceptively heavy' can fit the beer as well as the lyrics
