I REALLY like the erdinger alkoholfrei stuff
I just had 4 bottles delivered from ocado today for about £1.70 a bottle (500ml), I too had it post berlin half this year and for alcohol free it really is nice.
on my current nutrition plan i'm on a strict carb limit so i've not drank for a month but i figure I can afford to splurge on a bottle of this once a week after a hard session much like the post race thing you described.
will be by far the highest sugar content of anything i've eaten in a month though, averaging about 10g a day and most of that is incidental from stuff like salad. all my carbs have been high fibre stuff instead.
have lost over a stone since i started doing it though, just a shame I gained 2 stone over summer so am only halfway back to my starting point still.

good stuff, glad your plan is working out for you, I've tried restricting carbs and training in the past and while it does have a positive effect I always end up getting a huge unquenchable hunger drive that undoes all the progress.
my eating and weight loss is a fair bit more steady; I've lost about 1.5kg in the last 4 weeks, but I'm making good progress on a diet of roughly 60% carbs, 20% fat and 20% protein, with as much as possible coming from whole grains and vegetables.
The result is that I'm managing to eat three big meals a day which is keeping me happy plus a few snacks here and there which are generally carby, and quick energy like bananas or energy gels shortly before a hard workout.
I can't see the diet taking off commercially though as aside from the slow progress it also requires a lot of exercise!

I REALLY like the erdinger alkoholfrei stuff, the falvour is nice, combined with the fact its been given out free at all my best races this year means that as soon as I drink some it takes me back to finish line satisfaction feelings, its annoyingly expensive though (for low alchohol beer)
@hoefla agree that ice cream is nice, the bad day was more related to eating a pile of sweets that I didn't even enjoy eating at the time, I figure if I'm going to eat stuff it should be tasty and hopefully healthy...
