@MelissaCole Takes me back to when I was in an otherwise great bar and when I asked for a bottle of the alcohol free stout they had in the fridge got told. Oh you don't want that. That's AF. I don't understand why folk seem to make such a thing out of it.

@anigeluk 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@MelissaCole Added to which n/a beers have improved so much recently, and some are really exceptionally good. So, potshotters... try them, it might change your tone, and liberate your palate / mind 😉

@MrsAnnieWray I now have a rule, past one tweet of exactly that, I refuse to engage any more, most are turning up in bad faith in the first place and it's tedious AF (pun intended 😁)

@MelissaCole God how boring 🙄

@FoodStories Exactly that

@MelissaCole We've built our own beer advent calendar for the last few years and this time round, a third of them are NA choices we've earmarked for the Tuesdays and Thursdays of the 24 days. Nice to break up the week and still have something tasty when I still want a drink

@Kryptonite_Beer Excellent decision

@MelissaCole If this coronavirus has taught me anything it's just how selfish human beings are. Straight up. If it's not about ”me” or someone I care about directly, don't bother ”me” with it.

@Cori__P Sadly true in far, far too many cases

@MelissaCole We have a regular who only drinks AF beers. I didn't ask directly, but they told me they used to be a chronic alcoholic. I have nothing but admiration for someone who can beat that and continue to enjoy pubs. Changed my view on AF beer.

@tentuntaphouse Pleased it’s given you a new view on things.

@MelissaCole I blame Chris Evans, Liam from Oasis and Thor in his drunk phase.

@BunyonsandGout 😁

@MelissaCole It can be interesting to ask people how they'd change their behaviour if there was the same choice and quality of NA beers as with alcoholic ones. It really makes them think about what aspects of drinking they enjoy and when.

@brickfieldpm I personally think there is a growing number of beers that do stand up and the demographics around drinking have been shifting quite dramatically for a number of years.

@MelissaCole A while back it felt ‘unusual’ for us to meet a non-drinker in the UK, but we met so many non-drinkers in the US. We realised our nosey intrusion was probably offensive and curbed it ever since.

@hangfirebbq You don’t realise how culturally ingrained it is until stuff like that happens xxx

@MelissaCole I'd love to be able to drink AF Lager/Beer but as I'm coeliac I need it to also be Gluten free and I just can't find one. Do you know of any that are both please?

@julied155 A lot of Big Drop’s are less than 10PPM if that helps? All the details are on the website.
