Erdinger Alkoholfreiįrom the brewery that brews the most wheat beer in the world comes Erdinger Alkoholfrei, a full-bodied, straw yellow, aromatic wheat beer with a twist – it’s marketed as a post-sports / workout recovery drink with minerals, vitamins, and carbohydrates.Īlkoholfrei has a velvety malty sweetness with a hint of spice and pronounced carbonation. Most stores carry the cases of 12 x 355ml. Sold in both tall boy and 355ml size, varying by location. The beer’s mellow character makes it a perfect accompaniment with cheese, BBQ chicken, roast turkey, and tangy green salads. Edge is refreshingly light, golden straw in colour with a thick head that disappears quickly. Thanks to its mild sweetness, you also get subtle balancing flavours of hearty grain. It tastes very similar to its alcoholic cousin, Coors Banquet, which showcases the company’s ability to make a good beer without the buzz.Ĭracking the can, you immediately get notes of corn and pear (or was that apple), which continue on to the palette when you take that first sip. Pair the Dry Hopped with burgers, sausages, sticky ribs, tacos – basically, anything that can compete on equal footing with this beer’s bold character profile.Ĭoors Edge is a North American-style lager.

So, with that in mind, on our Thanksgiving grocery list for this review are a few of the bigger brewery beers – unfortunately, not a smorgasbord of different styles, mostly lagers and ales. In the last few reviews, we’ve been featuring mostly microbrewery offerings, which aren’t always easy to find on the store shelves. Thankfully, with the growing popularity of non-alc beers it’s becoming easier to find a fast-growing variety of alcohol-free beers where you pick up your fruits and veggies, proteins, and dessert.
