The gallbladder, where I assume your stone is, doesn't make bile, it stores it and then releases it when you eat fat. If you're having problems digesting fat because your GB doesn't have room to store the bile removing it won't help ---obviously. If you have pain eating fatty foods because the GB is trying to empty but the stone is blocking the duct surgery will help. (In the absence of infection removing the GB because of stones isn't mandatory.)Quote:

Re the second article --chef friend of ours (Chez Panisse among others) is a big fan of more black pepper less salt. It's not capsaicin in black pepper, and you don't need to use so much that the food tastes hot. We use black pepper on corn among other things. It works.Quote:

I enjoy herbal tea most mornings. My personal favorite is Bengal Spice by Celestial Seasonings. It's reminiscent of a Chai tea but with no caffeine. I will also steam some oatmilk to mix with it. I'll also have iced herbal tea, either an unsweetened hibiscus or passion fruit type.
Other than habit and possibly social norms, for me there's been no drawback to quitting coffee and other caffeinated beverages (haven't had sodas in 15 plus years).
YES Soda stream w/ 2 bottles and go through them often.Quote:

SO this came up in the sober thread andI have been coming across ALOT of good near beers recently
ALL the Athletic offerings, as mentioned are very good.
1) Ricks hop water and near beer are both good.
So many brewers are doing NA now to
Industrial arts has "safety Goggles" as opposed to "wrench, etc that is tasty. Hedlum is good NA beer.
Two Roads makes a NA Juicy that I like, look for it, there are whole sections of micro NA beers now
Hell Busch NA is a good hot day after mowing the yard option
Home roasting swiss decaf from various locales has been a yummy experience.
Love me some Busch NA.Quote:

Wake me up when the NA whiskey comes out.
My store sells quite a bit of this na whiskey https://lyres.com/range/american-malt/Quote:

I’m not even sure why I clicked on this thread, but in full disclosure, I like full strength whiskey and beer, so just suggestions of what does well in the store I guess
are we doing NA spirits now too?
this is my favorite line, but i also love Monday.
I keep a full NA bar in addition to an alcoholic bar, most basic drinks I can do in either format
Dhos is great. Made by Ransom, if you're familiar with them.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6b468faa19.jpg

It bothers me that the NA spirits are almost as expensive as real spirits. Profit margin must be massive; greedy fucks.

Untitled Art also makes some tasty NA beers. I like them better than the Athletics.

Wouldn't it be more expensive to get the alcohol out than leave it in?Quote:

I personally don’t get all the hype surrounding Athletic. It has a very stringent chemical taste to me and I think it’s one of the worst of all readily available N/A’s out there.
Not a fan of Lagunitas IPNA, either.
And Heineken 0 is great if you like that skunky Heineken taste (I don’t).
I have tried two different N/As from Crux and was not impressed.
For my $$$$, these are my favorite N/A Beers:
Self Care
https://drinkselfcare.com/
“Fuzzy Hat”
This English style brew tastes like a classic ESB
Untitled Art
https://www.drinkuntitled.com/
Everything these folks make is top notch.
Their regular IPA is great, as is their Italian Pilsner and Mexican Lager.
Their Chocolate Milk Stout is bonkers good (and I am not a fan of stouts)
Sober Carpenter
https://sobercarpenter.com/
“Irish Red” - tastes like an Irish Red Ale
“Black IPA” - fantastic faux schwartzbier
Sierra Nevada
Their N/A IPA is one of the best I have had to date
***(I had it at the brewery back in October, but have heard that it won’t be in stores until sometime in December)
Best Day
https://bestdaybrewing.com/
Their Kolsch is crisp and clean and their IPA is west coast hoppy.
Southern Grist
“Company Pils” is the best N/A Pilsner I have found to date.
***not sure if they still brew this as there is zero info on their site…
Gruvi
https://www.getgruvi.com/collections/beer
Their “Nitro Stout” is pretty stellar.
Their Hazy IPA is solid, too.
Two Roots
https://www.tworootsbrewingco.com/
Their “Straight Dank” is an uber hoppy W/C IPA
Estrella Galicia
https://estrellagalicia.com/us/estrella-galicia-00/
This is my go-to lager. It’s absolutely fresh and clean and is easy to crush a few on a hot day or with a meal.
Old Milwaukee
On the cheap tip, I have found Old Milwaukee N/A to be the best of the bunch (better than PBR N/A by a long shot). Gotta drink it really, really cold, though.
This will most likely be my ski season crusher for when hanging out with my fellow coaches apres in the lot.
YMMV depending on your palate…
:cool:

I had no idea there were so many. Now I have to find places that sell these. However, the times I really want one are when I'm out and about, not at home. I'm almost always the designated driver. I always ask and if a place has any NA or 0, they usually only have one offering, so I'm stuck with that. It's usually none of the interesting ones.Quote:

I don't get that as much with Guinness from the tap. Anyway, the 0.0 poured from a can tasted exactly the same as I remember the real deal from a can. Disclaimer: I'm a Murphy's fan.Quote:

St Pauli Girl also makes a reasonable NA beer.
Gave the Guiness 0.0 another try last night and I have decided I like it. I have something from Athletic that I don't like as much.
Now with a pic.Quote:

I had a Heineken 0 or whatever they call their fake beer. It was gross. Way too syrupy sweet. And none of the skunky flavor their real beer has. 0/11. Would not bang.
1. Guinness 0%. Slightly watery and soy-saucey. Beautiful pour. Would buy again, but in no real rush to do so.
3. Sam Adams Just the Haze. Holy shit this is the best NA beer I've had - it tastes amazing. 10/10. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c40fffc89d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0b2847a57e.jpg

My local watering hole has Just The Haze. I haven't been drinking much NA lately but I agree that it's the best NA I've had.
Anyone else like the Budweiser NA? On a hot summer day it does the job for me. I don't particularly care for regular Bud if I'm drinking cheap swill but the NA is pretty crushable.
I like the Guinness. Need to try the Sam Adams out of a glass. I had it in the can but that’s not fair to it. Oddly enough for me, Busch Latte NA is ok. Maybe it’s because the normal version set the expectation bar so low?
Don’t like any of the Athletic. Super bummed about the Crux, I figured if anyone could get it right it would be them.
My favorite so far is Deschutes Porter. I will get a pour pic up next time I secure some. It’s a bit hard to find and hit and miss on availability.
Bud Zero? I think Busch NA is better and pretty much indistinguishable from basically all the major American macro lagers.Quote:
