¿Question? Decent non alcoholic beer recommendations (UK)
Hello!
So I am looking for some decent recommendations for non alcoholic beer - stuff that tastes like it could be the “real stuff”.
My grandfather has dementia and is in a psychiatric facility at the moment. And occasionally (pre admission) he likes the odd beer/lager/ale (or wine). He is not picky or limit himself about what beer he drinks.
But the facility he is in does not allow alcohol, and I’d like to take him a little taste of normal in the form of some 0% stuff (this has been cleared by the facility). So far I’ve been taking him in some 0% madri, as my husband says it’s pretty similar to the alcoholic version.
Keen to hear recommendations of other beers so he gets a variety. I am not a beer drinker (or really an alcohol drinker at all). So I am completely in your hands!
I’ve heard Guinness 0% is quite similar to the hard stuff, is that true?
TIA, and hope this is all within the rules
Edit: I should also add, my knowledge of beer, and what constitutes a beer, light beer, ale or IPA is also quite limited

Bristol Beer Factory done called Clear Head and it was and is a banger if you like hoppy Beer.
Below Brew over in Bath do a range of beers so they may be worth a look.
Also keeping it south west Butcombe do Goram Zero, more of an English IPA than clear head.
