    I’m Super Picky With My Beverages – Here’s My Genuine Thoughts On Heineken’s 0.0 Alcohol-Free Beer

    It IS Sober October, after all.

    I’m not much of a drinker, so when I do have a tipple, taste is my top priority!

    One thing I find that companies most often get wrong is non-alcoholic drinks. Whether they’re too sweet, too bitter, or too artificial-tasting, they either seem to be trying too hard or not hard enough.

    So when I heard about Heineken’s 0.0 alcohol-free beer, I was intrigued to say the very least.

    Unlike most non-alcoholic beers (that consist of carbonated drinks with flavours added to make them *taste* like beer), Heineken’s 0.0 is crafted like an ordinary beer and then has the alcohol removed from it.

    The result? The 0.0 has the same characteristic refreshing fruity notes of Heineken original, but with a soft malty body.

    As a global partner of Formula 1, Heineken’s When You Drive Never Drink campaign plays on the fact that when you drink you can feel like a much better driver than you are.

    “But what about their other malty offerings?” I hear you ask, well there’s a reason that Heineken Original has been a leader in the beer world since 1873!

    And if you’re after a lighter alternative to the Original, let me introduce you to Heineken Silver.

    So whether you're after a lighter option or want to go alcohol-free for October, Heineken's newer offerings are definitely worth checking out!
