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

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

      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!
