I personally would like the feeling of beer but I have a hiatal hernia and can’t drink it because the carbonation bothers me. I have to drink wine or spirits if I want that alcohol high. These days I prefer wine though I only drink once a week.

Athletic Brewing Company (ABC) makes great NA beer. As close to the real thing as I've ever tasted. I've been drinking it since last fall, but I went totally NA on Jan 1 of this year and haven't gone back. Coming up on one year w/o alcohol.
ABC's Upside Dawn has just 45cal and 10g of carbs. Perfect for an after ride drink. Their Free Wave IPA is very tasty. I have a couple every night. And yes, NA beer is a good sports recovery drink with the benefits of an anti-inflammatory without the downside of the alcohol.
