I hope not.Am I likely to find non-alcoholic beer or American style black coffee along the Camino Frances?
"Every" bar in Spain will have "Cerveza sin alcohol". Should not be a problem.Am I likely to find non-alcoholic beer or American style black coffee along the Camino Frances?
I know it's a probably a strange request but thanks for the help.

Falcon again nails it, with one exception. Although Aurum Weissbier is available and marketed in Spain, it's limited to mercados for the most part. Aside from the nice head, the beer has a watered down, way too light taste. Avoid, unless you're really in need of a mental rush.
San Miguel produces a "0'0" alcohol beer and it's likely to be found in some restaurants in larger towns. Great name...less taste!
As already stated, cerveza 'sin' is very easy to find pretty much everywhere. Many of the main beer brands have a 'sin' version of their beer, which is often 0% but can be anything up to 1% alcohol. The major thing to consider if you don't drink alcohol is whether the pilgrim menus in restaurants are still good value if you're not taking advantage of the included wine.

Hi, Mike,Good point. I've never had a problem finding someone to help with an extra glass of free wine!
Exactly! Tell me ... exactly where and when are you going?!?Good point. I've never had a problem finding someone to help with an extra glass of free wine!

It is SO good to talk to another forum member who actually uses his own nameI leave SJPdP September 7, 2015 see you there!
Understandable oversight, Falcon. I imagine you were wanting to avoid occasions of "sin".While non-alcoholic beer accounts for only 4% of the beer market in Portugal, it is a respectable 13% of the market in Spain in 2010 (with sales apparent declining)! Brands include Ambar Green, San Miguel 0.0, River Sin, Tropical Sin, Dorada Sin, Buckler Sin, and Buckler 0,0.
I clearly should be more observant of the bar offerings! I usually peruse only the Orujo, hierbas, and wine.
non-alcoholic beer can be found at every bar/cafeteria/hotel on the Camino (in Spanish: 'Sin alcohol). As for American style black coffee, just ask for an 'Americano' at any bar/cafeteria/hotel on the Camino (seriously), and you will get the closest thing to it (basically an espresso shot watered down with hot water).Am I likely to find non-alcoholic beer or American style black coffee along the Camino Frances?
