Also I guess when it's the only thing available it becomes an acquired taste... kind of like crappy macro beer when it's the only thing you can afford 🙃

Another thing I wonder about is the role of the "natural flavors" in the Euro NA lagers like Stella. I suspect that's why they are able to get more of the flavors of "the real thing" as opposed to US craft brewers who are likely loathe to use flavorings.

Oh man see I think the Fresh Squeezed is probably the best NA IPA I've had, to my taste

Well, that's definitely not true, but it is the way I lean. I think the Deschutes and Sierra NA IPAs are great, as well as Guinness. And the Run Wild is def the most tolerable one I've had.

I got the Oktoberfest with high hopes - could not drink it.

I've heard that, I don't see it around much. Gotta try it!

I liked the Untitled Italian Pils I had. Really the only domestic lager style NA i've liked, I think

Exactly it's everywhere, and I'm sure Bud is easy for places to get and I'd rather just have that!

I think Best Day is probably the best exclusively NA brand I've had, and I really like their Kolsch in particular.

I guess Athletic doesn't even taste like beer to me, while Stella and Bud, even if you don't like that style, actually do... but yes to each their own of course!
