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.

FREESTAR
Freestar, an alcohol-free lager, is definitely a go-to beer when it hots up. If you are looking for a unique tasting fruity beer that is clean, crisp and refreshing then this is a good choice.
#3
NANNY STATE
Brewed by Brewdog, Nanny State is one for lovers of hoppy, bitter, malty flavours. The good news is that the flavours balance out to create a perfect accompaniment to any summer BBQ.

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.

SMASHED CITRUS
Similar to Kaiserdom above, Drynk’s Smashed Citrus beer features tasty and refreshing citrus fruit flavours in their lager. At 0% ABV this drink is perfect to sip on during a hot summers evening.
