Your only dilemma - which beer do I serve
What a good question ! Although I suspect the following will be of minority interest, I'll post it anyrate ... As someone who has enjoyed a beer or a glass of wine with a meal for as long as he can remember, it was a sad day for me when my liver consultant advised me that alcohol was no longer an option : I could either continue drinking, or die. At the time, my consumption was about one 660ml bottle of 5% beer per day (with dinner). which is modest by almost anyone's standards, but according to the consultant it was still far higher than my liver could tolerate, and it had to be reduced to as near zero as possible. I then started a search for good alcohol-free beers (K@l1b@r is about the worst alcohol-free beer in the world, IMHO), and after sampling almost everything that
Beers of Europe had to offer under their "Low/no alcohol" category , I finally homed in on two : Clausthaler Extra Herb, and Main Thaler. Now I know that low/no alcohol beer is not of interest to many, but do please give these two a try, even if you're able to consume as much alcohol as you could want : I think you'll find them very pleasant, very drinkable, and (as far as I am concerned), indistinguishable (apart from the after-effects) from the very best full-strength bottled German beers ...
