    Hi T,

    I am saving that experience for celebration to wash down the “boatload” of fish John and I catch under the Skyway Bridge.

    Got to dream,

    Matt

    dream

    Matt its not a dream, you will do it eventually and it will be twice as nice as before because you realise how good life is...

    Can you

    drink alcohol through a PEG, don't drink, but this bizarre thought ran through my head reading of your experience with a glass of wine.  I'm told with a PEG you only taste whats gone through the PEG when you 'burp'. This thought amused me 'B..U..R..P' umm that was nice ha ha.

    Clausthaler

    My son also gave up alcohol after his throat cancer dx.  That was a HUGE quality-of life issue for him.  He loved beer ... especially IPAs. He and I do not have the same taste in beer ... I prefer dark malty beer and he prefers IPA style hoppy beer.  My son did not lose taste buds or saliva after rad/chemo tx and continues to enjoy preparing gourmet meals for himself and his friends.  But he really misses beer and wine with his meals so he has been on a mission to find a non-alcohol substitute.  He found Clausthaler, a non-alcohol beer that helps him cope with the loss of his favorites.  I have not tasted Clausthaler but this is what he had to say about it: *quoting son*

    " after a few months a steady diet of seltzer and unsweetened ice tea gets old.

    I don't drink any soda, at least not anything with high fructose corn syrup and I don't really like the ones like Sierra Mist

    which are just loaded with sugar.

    I know Clausthaler is NA (Not Actually) beer and I don't judge it by the same standards as I would beer.

    Considering that I'm a total hophead, I wouldn't even drink the full alcohol version of it if I could drink alcohol.

    I'd be drinking Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale and then their Rye IPA that is just starting to hit stores.

    Locally I've only seen about a dozen selections,

    most of which fall into the NA version of American (or Canadian) piss-water lager. 

    I wouldn't drink the full alcohol versions, I'm certainly not going to punish myself with their NA counterparts.

     Guiness makes Kaliber which has a pleasant dark amber color but is much too sweet.

    The Becks, St. Pauli Girl and Heineken NAs are on the skunky side.

    Clausthaler has been the best I've come across so far. Tastes like a typical, traditional pilsner."
