Sipping and Sampling: Non-Alcoholic Beer Taste Test with Kelly & Jay


Come along for our Sipping and Sampling of non-alcoholic beer with me, Kelly, and my husband Jay. It was a great way to experience different flavors and styles without the worry of overindulging. There are a wide variety of non-alcoholic beers available, ranging from light lagers to dark ales and everything in between. A non-alcoholic beer taste test can be a fun and educational way to explore the differences between different brands.

We understand that it can be difficult to give up drinking alcohol, especially if it has been part of your life for a long time. That's why we're here to let you know that there's an alternative: non-alcoholic beer. Non-alcoholic beer is becoming increasingly popular and for good reason. It has all the same flavor as regular beer but without the alcohol content. This makes it a great option for those who want to enjoy the taste of beer without the associated risks of alcohol consumption. Non-alcoholic beer can be enjoyed with friends, at parties, or just for a refreshing drink on a hot day. Plus, it's also a great way to still be involved in the camaraderie of drinking beer with friends without having to worry about how much you've had.

Although I don't particularly like beer, my husband does. He loves the taste, the smell, and the way it looks when the foamy head is poured into a glass. He often talks about the different types of beer he has enjoyed, mainly crisp lagers. I don't mind watching him enjoy a beer, but I usually prefer something a bit more flavorful, like a glass of wine or a cocktail. 

Amazon.com is proud to offer a Non-Alcoholic Beer Variety Pack, featuring 12 bottles of some of the best non-alcoholic beers available. This pack includes Beck’s, Bitburger, Buckler, Clausthaler Dry Hopped Amber, Coors, St. Pauli Girl, Einbecker, Erdinger, Kilber, O’Doul’s Lager and Amber, and Stella Artois. All of these beers provide the flavor of traditional beer without the alcohol. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing beverage for yourself or a gift for someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, this variety pack is sure to please. Plus, it’s conveniently sold in one case of 12 bottles, so you can enjoy all of these beers at once. So make sure to grab your Non-Alcoholic Beer Variety Pack from Amazon.com today and enjoy the flavor of beer without the alcohol.


Jay is a huge fan of craft beer, and he is always on the lookout for something new to try. His favorite beer was Clausthaler Dry Hopped Amber. He loved the full-bodied flavor and the slight sweetness of the malts. The dry-hopping process used to make this beer gave it a perfect balance of hops and malt that was simply irresistible to him. The aroma of the beer was a nice mix of citrus, floral, and herbal hops. The taste was smooth and balanced. The finish was slightly bitter, yet still smooth and balanced. The unique taste and aroma of this beer made it his favorite in the pack.



When it comes to non-alcoholic beer, nothing beats a full-bodied, robust flavor like the Clausthaler. All the other beers were light and watered-down tasting, lacking the complexity of flavor that a good beer should have. They were simply too dull and lacked character. It was like drinking water and not the kind of beer you'd want to savor. Our personal opinion, of course.

But, if you like light beer, this pack would be a great choice for those who enjoy a cold brew but don't necessarily want the high alcohol content or the heavy flavor that comes with some beers. Not only does the non-alcoholic beer have fewer calories and virtually no alcohol than regular beer, but it is also easier on the stomach and easier to drink because of the light flavor. Light beer is the perfect option for those who want to enjoy the taste of beer without the strong aftertaste or the heavy feeling that can come with it. So if you're looking for a beer that you can enjoy without the after-effects, this pack is a great option for you.

If you’re looking to try a variety of non-alcoholic beers, there are a few ways you can go about it. One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways is to buy a variety pack like the one from Amazon. Many stores now offer a variety of packs of non-alcoholic beer, which include different brands and styles. This is a great way to find out which beers you like and don't like without having to buy a bunch of full-size bottles or cans. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also try a beer tasting or beer flight at a local brewery or bar. These beer tastings usually feature a few different types of non-alcoholic beers, so you can sample them before committing to buying a bottle or can. You might even find a new favorite non-alcoholic beer! With so many options available, there’s no excuse not to try the variety packs of non-alcoholic beer

Make sure to sample a few light lagers, a few dark ales, and a few malty beers. Once you have your selection of beers, pour each one into a clean glass and take a few moments to take in the beer’s aroma (if you happen to watch the video we made, we didn't use a clean glass at each tasting because of the time it would take to taste 12 beers). Take a sip of each beer and let it linger on your tongue before you swallow, noting the flavor and texture. Consider the differences between the beers - is one more carbonated than the others? Does one have a stronger flavor than the others? Are there any surprises in the taste? Finally, consider your overall opinion of the beers. Do you like one more than the others? Would you buy it again? With some exploration and tasting, you can become a well-informed consumer of non-alcoholic beer.

Product Review - FoodSaver V4400

 ***UPDATED 4/27/24***


Another Christmas present my husband and I received was a FoodSaverWe received this from my son and his wife.   We were thinking about getting one and of course, my husband wanted to buy one right before ChristmasMy practice is not to buy anything right before Christmas just in case you get it for ChristmasGood thing I would not let him get one. πŸ˜œ

 


This is the machine we received, FoodSaver V4400I didn't know there were so many different styles and kinds of food savers. This one is a nice size.  Not too small or big.  It fits on my counter nicely, but when not in use I have it on my buffet.  I don't have a lot of counter space.

As you can see it also vacuums containers and bags. It came with a roll to size your own, a couple small reusable bags, a couple of larger reusable bags, and bags to seal already sizedI have to admit, I have not tried reusable bags yetBut I am excited about trying them. 

I have had to buy more rolls alreadyI got them on Amazon, but they can be bought at Walmart as well.   They were reasonably priced and came in a box of 3 or 4 rolls. 




      


 


We also received two containers to use with this machine.  I haven’t tried them yet, but I am going to try them after the tax season is over.  They are for storing or marinating.  You use the object on the left of the machine to suck out the air once you have your food in the container. 


This is a picture of my husband sealing some of our leftover turkeysThis was our first attempt at using the Food Saver.  It did a great jobWe ended up with two bags of frozen turkeyWe have taken one out of the freezer and there was no air in the bag, it sucked out the air great. 




I bought some chicken breast on sale and repackaged them.
  I think they turned out great.  I have always done this but with plastic wraps and bags.  These froze nicely and kept them fresh until I was ready to use them. 



I made a video to show you how easy it is to use ⮟

Top 10 Foods to Stock Up on NOW

***UPDATED 8/5/23***
Are you shocked by the price increase in food lately? I sure am, so I've started stocking up on non-perishable foods. I'm not really what you call a prepper but with the way the world is right now, I don't think it will hurt to have a stockpile of food. 

My suggestion on canned goods is, if you have an Aldi store nearby, shop there for your canned goods. They are cheaper than most grocery stores I shop and the quality is the same or even better. My husband loves their soups.

Storage was a problem for us so we decided to buy a couple of cabinets to store our food. They didn't take long to put together and they look attractive. You can use whatever space you have but I suggest you designate a space for a large amount of food. 


Amazon.com: Sauder Storage Cabinet, Highland Oak Finish : Home & Kitchen


If you start storing up food, make sure when you use a food item that you replace it and put the newer product in the back, that way you won't have to worry about expiration dates.

What are the top 10 foods? I've come up with a list of foods that we are stocking in our pantry.

  1. Beans: Dried and canned - Dried Pinto Beans, Canned Chickpeas, Dried Lentils, Canned Baked Beans
  2. Canned Goods: Tomatoes, other vegetables, fruits, canned meat, chicken, and fish 
  3. Fats: coconut oil, and olive oil
  4. Milk: Powdered/Dried, preferably low temp dried (Note: Non-fat powdered/dried milk will be the most shelf stable.) 
  5. Nut Butters
  6. Pasta: Dried, all shapes, and sizes
  7. Rice: White rice, such as long grain or basmati, will be the most shelf-stable 
  8. Salt: Both iodized salt and sea salts 
  9. Sugar: White, Honey, Molasses, Maple Syrup, etc. 
  10. Wheat Products: All-purpose flour or bread flour, as well as the actual whole grain & Bread Baking, Needs -Including packaged yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and barley malt
Take a video of my food storage cabinets on YouTube below...




Do you have any suggestions for storing food? What foods do you stock up on? We'd love to hear from you, comment below!

Keep it Sassy, 
Kelly
