Yeah, I don’t drink anymore either. I thouhgt the American Pale Ales got carried away with the hops. Some of the stuff had so many Cascade hops in it that I thought I was drinking Pine-Sol.
I’ll put in a good word for Clausthaler Dry Hopped - Non Alcoholic. Best NA ‘beer’ I’ve tried by far. Has just enough of the Cascade and other hops to give it an edge, but not over-hopped. It’s also a good bit cheaper than some of the other NA beers, at least around N.GA.
Some of those hops-abusing brewers have decided to jump into the craft distilling game as well, making American single-malt using their own beer recipe in the process. It yields a nasty turpentine note on the nose and palate.
