Fernando's Picks

🥊 Under $30 and Punching Above Their Weight 


Stiegl is one of my favourite beer producers, so it brings me great joy that they were able to make a non-alcoholic version of their lager. We’ve come a long way with NA beers and this is a great example of them. The body is lighter than a typical lager, but everything else tastes true to style. 500 ml for $4.50 with 0.0% abv means your body and wallet will be thanking you. Zum wohl!
