Hi Folks:

On a recent thread, maybe a month ago, there was a link to an online health food source - not too much stuff, but I remember they had "near beer".

Being preggo, I desperately crave ordering a few cases of the stuff in preparation for summer. My old routine used to be 1) get home, 2) change clothes and 3) sit on the patio with the hubby watching the sunset and drinking a cold one.

Even a non-alcoholic beer would do wonders to helping me keep the dream alive, eh?

Anyone got a link? You'd be my hero.

They sell non-alcoholic malt liquor at SM Ching hai and Vegelove vegetarian buffets (and Vegelove bakeries...)

There's a sticky for vegetarian restaurants, but the SM Ching hai place is hard to find the first time ...

The Vegelove Cafe in the Lotte Department Store food court (8th floor) right at the Hanti station of the yellow Bundang subway line is much easier to find. Their buffet costs 9,500 won (and is very good...) but you can just buy the NA beer (at 2000 won a bottle...) Cans are cheaper, of course, but I don't think they have them at that location...

Someone told me that a major Korean brand also sells "near beer", but I didn't catch the name...
