I’ve found hop water to be weirdly refreshing.

NA stuff has come such a long way since the craft boom, Mrs Moore drinks it quite a lot. Almost any of the offerings from the small brewers over here are actually really drinkable and taste incredibly 'beery'. I'm sure the American brewers are doing just as good a job too. One of the bigger brewers that are probably available over there too, Leffe from Belgium, their NA offering is really good if you like the Belgian blonde style.

Fall 
may be in the air but this aromatic and flavorful dry-hoped lager is refreshing!

Lagunitas has a hop water that I’ve heard people say is really good. I keep meaning to try it but I always forget when I’m in the beer store. I also recently had a Grapefruit Radler from a German brewery that should be readily available in an imported section that was only 2.5% Abv. It was delicious

I’ve grabbed these for today’s lakeside adventure. For science.Lagunitas has a hop water that I’ve heard people say is really good.

but I’m going to keep an eye out for that Lagunitas. I like their other stuff and I think my shop carries it. I’ll grab that and the Dogfish Head next time.

Hop2O is the one I’ve tried and enjoyed. It is distinctly not beer, and not trying to be, but very refreshing.

How were they??
I've heard good things about Athletic Brewing but have not yet tried them. I had a friend who tried a few different brands during a dry January, and Brooklyn Brewery Special Effects was his favorite.
I was going to say I'm not sure how their distribution is, but Since it's NA they apparently just do mail order.
Brooklyn Special Effects IPA 6-Pack
Brooklyn Special Effects IPA 6-Pack Brooklyn Special Effects IPA brings the bright hop aromas and juicy citrus flavors of our favorite IPAs to the non-alcoholic world. We brewed it for drinkers everywhere who love all things hoppy and refreshing, but with

I think it's great how much that market has grown since the O'Douls days. You can actually get Lager, or golden, or IPA, or a Gose that is NA. Pretty cool!

They were…fine? I guess. The Athletic were definitely the weaker of the 3. The corona knockoff was really carbonated without a lot of flavor. Maybe adding a lime would have helped. The Upside Down Golden was very lemony. Like maybe too much so. Kinda reminded me of a thinner version of a Sam Adams summer ale.How were they??

The darker Clausthaler probably tasted the best. All 3 lacked a bit of body, but I could see myself going back to the dry hopped Clausthaler. I’ll need to try it with a brat. You know, for science.
None of them are going to fool anyone, but might be a passable substitute - particularly in the fall - until I can get back to the real deal.

The hazy version of the original Catawba Valley Brewing Hopness Monster.
It's good. And you gotta love the artwork, especilly the tip of Hoppies tail.

If anyone here is near Pittsburgh, it looks like one of my favorite local breweries (Aslin) is opening a taproom up there in Pennsylvania!

"What the heck?! Is something we say often around here...especially in the last 16 months.
As in:
What the heck...where the last 16 months just a dream? Ah What the heck, let's throw some more hops!
To new beginnings, to resets, and to new and old rekindled friendships. Cheers!

With Fall only a couple of days away, this Scottish 
Wee Heavy is the perfect dark and full bodied Ale 
for the occasion. Mr. Templeton approves!

This happens when it's unseasonably warm in October
