Feed The Resistance: Beer Taste Test!

This week, we’re doing a beer taste test – pitting non-alcoholic brews against their traditional alcoholic counterparts.  We tasted four beers from 2 different breweries – Pabst NA vs. the traditional Pabst Blue Ribbon…and Guinness 0 vs. the traditional Guinness.  Both brands have done a really good job recreating their traditional beers as NA beers, but in the end, we were able to tell the difference when we tasted them side by side.  The Pabst was a lighter color and a lighter taste and the Guinness, while it looked just like the traditional beer, tasted a bit sweeter.

As a palate-cleanser, I made up a Sweet and Spicy Pretzel and Nut Mix.  Warning – this mix can be really addicting – I spent most of last night munching on this, so I barely had enough to serve today!
