I used to work for Phillips Brewing in Victoria, BC and their Iota NA series went bananas out of the gate. (They timed the launch for New Years 2023 for Dry January.) They worked on the recipes for years. Iota is everywhere in BC and Alberta now, and they're not half-bad. (I definitely took my share of Iota low fills.) That being said, hop waters are my go to when I want an NA sort of deal, but they're not as widely available at pubs and other drinking establishments as NA beers here in Canada. I'm not sure if reps have a harder time selling them or if breweries aren't putting as much money into getting them out there into bars? Super interested to see what you end up writing about regarding this topic!

Untitled Art Italian Pilsner is hands down my favorite NA beer. Their other styles are good, but that one really hits the spot. The carbonation & flavor are both super satisfying.

Guinness 0.0 is surprisingly delicious, you won't mistake if for the real thing but it's good nonetheless.
