Sigh: yet another pointless alcohol-free ale review. Don't worry, there won't be too many more of these.
Theakston Nowt Peculier
What's it like? Aside from winning the prize for best pun name for an alcohol-free version of an established ale, this is actually alright. It's a 0.0% version of the well-established Old Peculier and, unlike some other AF clones of well-loved beers, pulls off the dealcoholising trick without losing the identifiable taste of the source brand. The result is a rich, dark, fruity ale that isn't too sweet and slips down quite nicely. Whisper it quietly but I think I prefer it to Old Peculier.
Would I drink it in a pub? Yes.
Would I drink more than one? Yes.
Would I drink it all night? Possibly.
Stats: 0.0% ABV. Calories 26 kcal/100ml. Currently £2.25 for a 500ml bottle, from Sainsbury's
Stars: ★★★★☆
A song, then, for a rich and peculier brew. Only one choice, I guess, from a band with Yorkshire roots (just like the brewery).
