I can no longer drink beer, is non-alc beer worth trying? [View all]

Unfortunately this beer nerd can no longer imbibe the good stuff. Should I even bother trying to get the taste from the non alcoholic stuff. I've heard some is better than others, but I've never tried it.

Anyone ever try the NA stuff?

I don't have a very fine palate. I liked it better when it was the store brand, not a brand name. applegrove Apr 2012 #8
