Heavenly Body Golden Wheat
I don't know how accessible they are in your area. These recommendations come from someone who works in a large liquor store.
On edit: Don't know how soon you need it but if you have a few days, try Amazon.
 
So my brother-in-law drinks Clausthaler, can’t say if it’s any good but he is Irish so...that said, as you want to be a good host, I like caviar, Filet Mignon and Captain Morgan, I can be there next weekend.... :D
 
Shipyard Pumpkinhead ale. I used to love drinking that in October and November during my UNI days, back around 2004 to 2008. Not sure if the recipe is the same as it was over ten years ago, would not be shocked if they tweaked the recipe, one of the only flavored beers I liked. I recall finding it once in China back in 2010, that and dead guy ale and anchor steam. Both super expensive (in China) so I got just one of each.

I generally don't like (fruit) flavored beer. Just a strong locally brewed IPA please. Although it is not pumpkin, one other exception to that rule, for me, is pictured below and that drink has always felt like late summer/early fall in Maine for me.

I suggest St Pauli Girl or Heineken NA. I’ve been drinking St. Pauli Girl for a couple of years and Heineken is new but also good. Those two companies have traditions to uphold, so they have worked hard on their NA labels. With a little luck one of your regular beer drinkers will grab one out of your beer tub by mistake and start an interesting conversation.
 
Pumpkin beer is horrible, but I don't drink beer much anymore except for Hill-Farmstead Double Galaxy - which I'm enjoying now at The Scale House in Hardwick.

Clausthaler, St Pauli Girl, and Heineken NA are all pretty good. That would be my order of preference. My favorite German restaurant in Florida (since closed, alas) served Clausthaler. I got the impression it's the most popular non-alcoholic in Germany.

Stay away from the domestic versions (if they even still brew them) - O'Doul's and I forget the name of the other one - they are awful. :eek:

Yep. It’s tradition for me to get a four pack of that every season, and I just had the first one of the year last night. Definitely a last drink of the night type of thing for me though.

Do you do the same with their winter cider? It’s arguably better

I don't drink the stuff and I know they have improved. Wanna be a good host. Anyone know a couple of really good ones??

Just hold on a minute here ...something's not right. In our cave "non alcoholic beer" is definitely an oxymoron. Rocky, if you truly want to be a good host... you know what you have to do. :rolleyes:.. :D

Love HF 2x galaxy also. This and Abner are my two favs from HF. But u gotta stock up cuz they don’t have either all that frequently. I personally think Alchemist just 30+ minutes further is a better choice than HF. PRICE and selection far superior.
 
I drink it out of spite for all the Dunkin and Starbucks concoctions.
 
In 1987 or 88 I was the copywriter for the Agency of Record for Clausthaler. We tried to sell it through restaurants as a higher profit luncheon beverage. "Lunch with Claus." Get alcohol profits at lunch. Since then the chain restaurants have decided to sell 18¢ worth of Coke syrup for $2.75, so I guess they took care of the beverage profit margins on their own. At the time, it was the better tasting of the non-alcoholics, but it is a very skunky beer. Our internal slogan for it at the Agency was, "Smells like skunk, tastes like ." Spent lots of time arguing with the German brewers who thought it should be positioned as an alternative for alcoholics trying to stay sober – that was their positioning in Germany. Also had to deal with the crazy advertising agency owner who talked a couple of local restaurants into stocking it so that when the guys from All Brand Importers (the Hublein division that imported the stuff) came by we could all order it for lunch. One of the reasons you can drink a lot of beer is because alcohol is a diuretic. Try sitting there and smiling when your crazy boss orders a third round of this heavy glop that just sits in your stomach. Hublein served it for a while in their cafeteria but stopped when they realized some employees were brining it back to their desks as a cover up for the beer breath they acquired while getting tanked on regular beer. Ahhhh, but I digress. It's hard to imagine someone having a favorite non-alcoholic beer. Serve whatever NA beer you want and have plenty of ice tea available. At least non-alcoholic wine can be a tasty Welch's selection. :D
 
Pumpkin is 3rd to only turkey and ketchup as the most overrated foodstuff of all time

Lot of basic bitches on here
 
I haven’t had many pumpkin beers but I really enjoy this one: Punkuccino from Elysian Brewing Company. I had it on tap at a local Irish pub a couple years ago and then went on an adventure to find it after that.

I don’t think you can go wrong in that neck of the woods with Lawson’s, Foam, Alchemist, HF around ...
 
So things have not changed. No alcohol beer is just not beer. We have the favorite real beer for house guests and a bunch of the usual subjects (Bud, Heineken, etc), but I guess I'll see if a new one called Heineken 0-0 is any good.

Can you imagine this guys reaction to no alcohol beer:

 
Pumking is good but sweet. Roadsmary’s Baby is nice. My favorite is from Ballast Point. Has a Scotch ale as a base.
 
Drinking pumpkin beer is for casuals, I guess. But I’m not casual. I drank it at a wedding with a shot in it (not casual). I drink it when my wife buys it and I don’t have anything else because I drank everything else (not casual). I’ll have it on a holiday if someone else brings it because I’m probably drinking all day anyway and it is only one or two of the beers or cocktails on my agenda. So, what the hell. (not casual).

Don’t judge. Especially, you cider drinkers. (not judging)

Avery brewing out here in CO makes the only pumpkin beer I've not hated...

Pump[KY]n - bourbon barrel aged pumpkin Porter, and 15% to boot. I only get it at the brewery since they'll do 5oz pours, or possibly grab a single bottle to split with someone. They do a Rumpkin too, but I don't care for rum

i much prefer the Oktoberfest beers this time of year. Actually stumbled on a good one from startford no less...ok2berfest from two roads
 
There is no such thing as good pumpkin spice beer. Water, hops, barley, yeast. That’s it. Nothing else allowed.
