The Aldi version of Heineken 0.0 is (almost) better than the original
Published by Finn Hayden I've written previously about how I think Heineken 0.0 is one of the best alcohol free beers I've tried - not that it's especially amazing or anything, but it's just very drinkable, and I could comfortably have a few on a night out or while sat in front of the tv. Well, I think Heineken 0.0 has some serious competition in the form of the Aldi version of the beer. In typical Aldi fashion, their version of Heineken 0% looks very similar to the real thing, take a look: You really wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a few yards away, and that's exactly…
4 of the best high protein vegan yoghurts you can buy in the UK
Published by Finn Hayden If you're a vegan trying to build muscle, you'll already know that it's harder for you to get your protein in compared to omnivores - because you can't consume dairy or meat products, your choices for a high protein snack or meal are definitely more limited. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible, and there are excellent high protein vegan products beiing released every month here in the UK. A product I've seen more of recently is high protein vegan yoghurt - I've written previously about how there are lots of excellent vegan yoghurts you can buy,so it's great to see high protein versions of these yoghurts…
Taking part in Sober Oktoberfest with the Maisel’s Weisse alcohol free wheat beer (Our review)
Wheat beer is among my favourites. Every time Oktoberfest comes around, I look forward to finding German wheat beers on tap around Manchester (where I live). Unfortunately, because this year I have decided to be sober during October, I have to forgo my usual October ritual of 10 wheat beers in a row. Until I found Maisel’s Weisse alcohol free. I’ve already had 10 in a row, so let me tell you what I think. Who is behind Maisel’s Weisse? Brauerei Gebr. Maisel is behind the beer. family-owned brewery founded in 1887 in the historic city of Bayreuth, Germany. Maisel’s Weisse has become a world-renowned name, known for…
What do we think of the Rothaus Alcohol Free Beer? Sober Oktoberfest at it’s best (full review
Alcoholic beers have a big dark cloud hanging over them – they just don’t taste like beer. Too light, too sweet, soapy and outright disgusting; these are just a few of the things said about zero alcohol beer alternatives. It is a crying shame, because we’re all trying to reduce the amount of alcohol we drink, without making every waking moment an exercise in removing every ounce of joy we have. With alcohol-based beers on the rise, we are still searching long and hard for a great alcohol alternative – and we think that search may be over. Let’s talk about the Rothaus Alcohol free pilsner. Who is behind…
Alcohol free beer + electrolytes – worth the hype?
Published by Finn Hayden I love alcohol free beer and write about it a lot, and I've now tried literally hundreds of different non-alcoholic beers from dozens of brands. Something I've noticed recently is that more and more non alcoholic beer brands are advertising that their beers contain electrolytes. Even though this feels like a fairly recent trend, it's nothing new really - Erdinger has been advertising their alcohol free beer as 'isotonic' for years now. But a new brand I spotted on the shelves at my local Waitrose really piqued my interest because of how much they're leaning into the whole 'contains electrolytes' things. These beers are from a…
Athletic Brewing Run Wild IPA – my honest review
Published by Finn Hayden I've been drinking loads of great non-alcoholic beer recently, and I'm consistently blown away by how many excellent options there are. It doesn't feel that long ago when you'd ask for an alcohol free beer at a bar and all they'd have is Heneiken Zero, but nowadays there are so many other options. One alc free beer I've seen a lot of hype around recently is Athletic Brewing Run Wild IPA, so I decided to buy a pack from my local M&S to see what all the fuss is about. For starters, it's worth mentioning that I paid £5 for 4 cans of this beer. That's…
5 of the best CBD gummies you can buy in the UK
Published by Finn Hayden I've previously written about CBD oils that I was impressed with, and I love taking CBD oil, but I also appreciate that not everybody can deal with the strong taste. For those people, it can make more sense to consume CBD gummies - they can get all of the benefits of CBD, but with a nice fruity taste rather than a strong, hempy taste. For this article I've purchased some CBD gummies from my local Holland & Barrett, as well as from a number of online retailers, and tried them all over the course of a few months. I've now narrowed this list down to the…
There are some great deals on CBD drinks at Waitrose this week
Published by Finn Hayden I've really been upping my intake of CBD recently because I feel like it's helping me sleep, and although I mostly stick to gummies and oils, I've also been drinking plenty of CBD drinks. So I was absolutely delighted when I walked into Waitrose this week (August 25th 2026) and saw that 2 of my favourite CBD drinks brands, TRIP and Goodrays, are both on offer currently. I wrote recently about how Waitrose has stopped selling CBD oils and gummies through their website, but it appears the brand has no intentions to stop selling CBD drinks any time soon, which is a real relief for me!…
I’m loving these high strength CBD gummies by CBDIABLO
I've tried lots of CBD products over the years, and although I've generally had the best results with CBD oll, I'll admit that the taste is sometimes a bit strong for me. I've been using CBD oil from CBDIABLO for quite a while now, so when I saw that the brand had launched some high strength CBD gummies, I decided to give them a whirl. And I'm very glad I did! Every gummy contains 25mg of CBD, which is equivalent to around 5 drops of the CBD oil I was taking from the brand. The oil has been great for me, but it's a bit fiddly using the dropper sometimes…
Gym Beer – great idea or waste of money?
Published by Finn Hayden I'm no stranger to weird products - just recently I published an article about the "protein fruit puree" I found in Lidl, which I'm still confused by. So when I spotted 'Gym Beer by Iguana' at my local Morrisons, I knew I'd have to write an article about it. I've been loving non-alcoholic beer recently, and I've been happily trying lots of different alcohol free beers to try and figure out which I like best. So I was definitely up for trying Gym Beer. But before I get into the taste, let's first of all address the obvious thing about this alcohol free beer - the…
