Scientists claim they’ve figured out how to make non-alcoholic beer taste exactly like the real thing

Scientists in Denmark claim they’ve figured out how to make non-alcoholic beer taste exactly like the real thing.

Normally, they remove the alcohol by heating the beer up or letting it ferment less.  But that tends to make it taste kind of flat and watery.  The new method involves adding molecules called monoterpenoids.

Basically, it adds back in the hoppy flavor that real beer has, and they claim it’s a “game-changer.”  They say it could be ready for public consumption by October.
