What’s the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day?

The flavor of beer is rich and complex and I can’t think of anything to replace the experience of beer.

If it helps, I actually like fruity beer, something sweet but with still some bitterness and that complex flavor I can’t describe that most good beers have.

Why not a softdrink or a root beer? It’s just not the same, it’s like a different branch from beer.

          It’s usually around 0.5%. I mean, OP asked for non-alcoholic beverages… I believe we should be honest about that.

            Most commercial kombuchas are specifically filtered to remove as much as possible of it, but good point

      It’s not really flavored water. Google “tea mushroom”. Sugars fermented by shrooms, that’s how it’s made.

      But indeed it’s a healthy alternative.

        I meant them as two separate suggestions, sorry if unclear!

      I came here to post something similar, but yours is probably a better suggestion. I’m now fond of beet flavoured water kefir.
