Recently introduced in Illinois via our friends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/great-central-brewing-company-contract-partners\/\">at Great Central Brewing Company<\/a>, who is making the beer stateside for the UK-based company, the beers are rolling out further across the US throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Michigan is their next stop, they reached out to see if I wanted to try any. <em>&#8220;Wanted to&#8221;<\/em> was a stretch, but <em>&#8220;curious enough to give it a shot&#8221;<\/em> is a fair explanation of the situation. So here we are: Drinking a &#8220;beer&#8221; at 2pm on a weekday while working on some freelance contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s up with these beers? Are they any good? Are they better than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/lagunitas-ipna-non-alcoholic-ipa\/\">the Lagunitas IPNA<\/a> we tried recently?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s find out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225240297.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"31946\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225240297.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/?attachment_id=31946\" class=\"wp-image-31946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225240297.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225240297-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225248092.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"31947\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225248092.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/?attachment_id=31947\" class=\"wp-image-31947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225248092.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210302_225248092-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paradiso IPA: <\/strong>I never thought I&#8217;d be wowed by an IPA that tastes exactly like so many other IPAs, but in the case of a non-alcoholic beer, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigdropbrew.com\/drinks\/alcohol-free-citra-ipa\/\">Paradiso Citrus IPA<\/a> is pretty amazing. The first thing I noticed as I mentally put this up against all other NA beers I&#8217;ve ever had was whoa &#8211; this actually has body to it. It has heft, it has malt character, it&#8217;s not a watery barley tea with some bitterness on top. It really does taste like an actual IPA, and more importantly I didn&#8217;t feel like I was drinking a nonalcoholic beer, which is about the highest praise I can give a nonalcoholic beer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210324_182600376.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31949\" width=\"-412\" height=\"-549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210324_182600376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PXL_20210324_182600376-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>I know.

On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigdropbrew.com\/drinks\/alcohol-free-stout\/\">the main Big Drop Brewing website<\/a> Galactic Dark is listed as a milk stout, which this <em>definitely <\/em>does not taste anything like. Then on the US site (and on the can itself) the word &#8220;stout&#8221; is nowhere to be seen. What&#8217;s going on with this beer? Could they not decide what to call it over here? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they are open to suggestions, I think it&#8217;s probably closer to a Black IPA &#8211; there&#8217;s tons of piney sharpness to this beverage, backed up with some roastiness reminicent of spent coffee grounds. As it warms, you get a hit of artificial lemony cleanser kicks through at the end. It&#8217;s too thin by half, though, with that watered-down N\/A quality to it too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Didn&#8217;t love it, but man, making a stout non-alcoholic has to be a very tough thing to do. Points for taking a swing at it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212502298.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"31979\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212502298.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/?attachment_id=31979\" class=\"wp-image-31979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212502298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212502298-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/big-drop-PXL_20210401_211247934.PORTRAIT.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"31981\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/big-drop-PXL_20210401_211247934.PORTRAIT.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/?attachment_id=31981\" class=\"wp-image-31981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/big-drop-PXL_20210401_211247934.PORTRAIT.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/big-drop-PXL_20210401_211247934.PORTRAIT-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/big-drop-PXL_20210401_211247934.PORTRAIT-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212515668.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"31980\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212515668.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/?attachment_id=31980\" class=\"wp-image-31980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212515668.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bd-PXL_20210401_212515668-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pine Trail Pale Ale<\/strong>: Bright apple juice yellow in color with some tight Champagne-like effervescence, this is the most thirst-quenching of the three (edging out the Paradiso). This could make a great option for a hot afternoon where you need something to actually hydrate you (while still giving you some nice near-beer flavors). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a pale ale it&#8217;s pretty successful as well: Nice and sharply bitter with Magnum, Mosaic and Amarillo hops doing the lions share of the work where flavor is concerned; I wouldn&#8217;t call this &#8220;watery&#8221; per se because there&#8217;s definitely some grain presence to give it a body but it&#8217;s very slight. Still, pretty solid (and with that very light carbonation you could definitely shotgun this one quite easily, FWIW).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, this was the only one I received that was brewed at Chicago&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/great-central-brewing-company-contract-partners\/\">Great Central<\/a>, and it also says it has both wheat and lactose in it. I can get a bit of that grassy wheat character here, but where that sweetness is, I couldn&#8217;t tell you. Still: Thumbs up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the three of these I can definitely say I&#8217;d have two of them again &#8211; a very high ratio for a new selection of non-alcoholic beers, a style which I generally sample out of curiosity and then never return. Much like the IPNA, I can see a place for this when you don&#8217;t want another beer, you only want that last one again (with apologies to James McMurtry <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cNtpAeiEY4A?t=23\">for stealing that line<\/a>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We cracked into a few of the new non-alcoholic offerings from Big Drop Brewing as they plot their domination of the Americas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":31981,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[2217],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
