Getting To Know The Place
The brewery in the city i live in brews their own Weizen and also serves it with a dash of Aperol Spritz. One of the best combinations imho
As a chef, working all day long with alcohol for cooking reasons, I stopped drinking the "evening beer" daily.

What are your non-alkohol options like in die Schweiz? Local or imports? Good, bad?As a chef, working all day long with alcohol for cooking reasons, I stopped drinking the "evening beer" daily.

"Feldschlösschen" is the biggest ( I guess) swiss brewer. We got a few non alcoholic options, including whisky, gin, beer, wine.
But I dont drink any, just beer.
Its good enough for me
Erdinger looking out the back with the breeze coming in tastes better in a crystal mug compared to out of the bottle a couple of weeks back - that or it was the fact I had Covid but didn’t know it.
Terrible manners not having the pinky out, but the mug was a touch heavy.
New alcohol free beers inbound tomorrow, so I’ll reinvigorate this thread thereafter.

I had the No Worries Pineapple IPA by Lervig last Thursday. I'm normally not the one to grow fond of all those artsy beers but this one was enormously good while sitting on a terrace in the city centry enjoying some sun 
Shall report on flavour this week, as there’s a bottle coming tomorrow.
It’s frothy man!Erdinger looking out the back with the breeze coming in tastes better in a crystal mug compared to out of the bottle a couple of weeks back - that or it was the fact I had Covid but didn’t know it.

It isn’t a pub pour, and my objective is not to get as much beer (and thus, as much intoxication) in my glass, so a wee bit of froth is fine by me.
Also, I usually chugalug from the bottle.

As a northerner I’ve been brought up with the “head is best” doctrine & Erdinger certainly doesn’t disappoint in that department! Looks delicious.
The better half loves maple bacon which is only available at Christmas in the UK, so I got some late tapped dark maple syrup and positively soaked some bacon in it. Need a wee bit of something to cut through all that, don’t I? What better way to almost get clear of Covid than do a bit of that in the air fryer?
Beer for breakfast doesn’t mean much when non alcoholic - it’s just another carbonated drink - but eh, I like what I like, and a brekky beer on a Sunday is great.
Today’s contender… also showing off the bracelet of my CF 39 Explorer..
Started off almost too sweet but that fades, though it is certainly still a sweet sort of a drink. Thoroughly inoffensive, readily sipped. It’s a cool and overcast morning (just like the other 80% of the time in England), this may go down better on a warm day.
Covid has certainly slowed my brain down a bit, sadly. This beer reminds me a lot of a blue labelled European beer I drank for a spell in my teens, but which I can’t place right this second even with Google Images’ best efforts.

Several years in the south of England here, if that northern attitude to a bit of head on a beer had manifested in an inner London pub, it would have been a riot. Ridiculous but true, how dare you not focus on getting me as pissed as possible by sacrificing a few millilitres to the foam gods!
Europe doesn’t mind a glass of straight up foam in some places. It’s part of the beering!

Yes indeed, heads an essential as far as I’m concerned. I’ve done my years of flat castlemaine XXXX type brews in dingy London nightspots (in the 80’s) and I reckon this influenced my tastes for sure.
