lucky saint beer

LUCKY SAINT 

Still, my number one favourite alcohol-free beer to drink. Thanks to its crisp, mellow taste I can finish three or four of these award-winning beers and not get bored of it. In fact, I bought an ice cooler full of them to a BBQ recently and even those drinking alcohol agreed they were great.

kaiserdom radler

KAISERDOM

Slightly left-field but equally refreshing and tasty, this lemon Radler by Kaiserdom is simply great when the sun comes out. Combining a tart, sweet lemon taste with the malty, hoppy taste of the beer this works perfectly.
