or maybe there’s one mail lady who knows the area cold and gets extra pay for it. Win-win
…that Heineken makes an NA now, that they call Heineken 0.0. It’s actually really good for an NA. Best part: 69 calories per bottle.

Maybe I watch too many sports, but they’ve been advertising that pretty heavily for about 18 months now.
Also, it’s one of the best NAs I’ve tasted.

Beer doesn’t taste good enough to drnk without alcohol.

If it’s anything like regular Heineken count me out. It’s one of a handful of beers I just don’t want to drink ever again.
69 calories seems like a lot for 0%, especially for a NA version of a light beer. There are 4.0 beers out there with less than 100 calories of which around 90 of those calories would be from the alcohol.
69 carb calories vs 90 alcohol calories: is one better than the other from a health perspective? I don’t drink beer often enough for it to matter for me, but now I’m curious.
Alcohol increases your metabolic rate which is why you generally feel warm after drinking alcohol / why homeless people drink booze to stay warm.
That said, I’m not qualified to opine on how much / at what point the higher number of calories more than compensates for the higher metabolism.
But if you’re comparing to a 100 calorie beer with 90 of the calories from alcohol then you’d be comparing 59 calories, not 69.
(I know, I’m being a buzzkill saying it’s not 69.)
I assume this is a marketing consideration since calories are usually rounded. But 69 is everyone’s favorite number!
Of the NA beers my dad has tried, that’s his favorite.
“However, not all of the calories in beer come from alcohol, which explains why non-alcoholic beers are not completely calorie free. In fact, many alcohol free beers are actually higher in sugar and carbohydrates than standard beers. This is because, unlike alcoholic beers, non-alcoholic beers contain sugar, which is often added to improve the flavour once the alcohol has been removed. This added sugar means that non-alcoholic beers can contain more than twice as many carbohydrates as alcoholic beers, significantly increasing their calorie content, and making them unsuitable for those following a low carbohydrate or low sugar diet.”

Almost certainly the carbs are healthier, it was just surprising that many carbs were needed to make an NA beer since alcohol doesn’t have much flavor (at that%) and is lighter than water… id think it would end up a bit syrupy.
I’ve been pronouncing “biopic” all wrong.

Butter spreads so nicely when it’s at room temperature (my whole life I’ve kept butter in the fridge so used margarine since it spreads better)
careful, next thing you know, you’ll be critiquing butter crocks!
Meh, just put the butter in a butter dish and leave it on the counter, out of the sun. If you use it within 10 days or so it’ll be fine. If your A/C breaks or you go on vacation throw the butter dish in the fridge. But you don’t really need the fancy gadget unless you’re in the south and don’t have air conditioning.

This is how I’ve always wished it were pronounced.

I don’t like Heineken, but I do like Heineken 0.0 a lot. It is my favorite NA beer. Maybe tied with Bitburger.
