Recommend me a low alcohol (1% or less) commercial brew

I finally got around to trying Guiness 0.0 this week and was very pleasantly surprised. It was dispensed (in a pub) from a can in a pouring contraption that automatically tilted the glass, quite a good marketing spectacle. The end result looked exactly like the real guiness my friend was drinking. The mouthfeel was indistinguishable - the characteristic creamy head, etc. The taste wasn't exactly the same, but the roasty, malty flavour was definitely present. I was happy to have two (driving) and could have stood more. Bit odd not getting the alcohol buzz. Recommended.

I tried Adnams Ghost Ship low alc last night. Awful.

I came across this web site recently in an article on low/no alcohol beer in the 'New Scientist' magazine :- The Best Non-Alcoholic Beers & Alcohol-Free Lagers in 2022
I've not had time to explore what's on his recommended list yet, but it looks interesting. Although I suspect that some of them will not be easy to get in the local supermarket.

Interesting. The best rated wheat beer score only a bit higher that more than the Paulana 0.0%. That doesn't bode well overall.

I'm doing dry January at the moment (shudder) but have sneaked in a few 0.5%ers whilst in Tescos. Have to say they're a good way to cut down your drinking - you'll never reach for a second one and that's a fact.

Not beer but last night tried a bottle of Stowford Press 0.5% cider. And it was actually nice. Tasted like cider. So for the rest of the month I'll be sticking to this and giving low alcohol beers a miss.
