BRĒZ FLOW Lion’s Mane Mushroom Drink 8 Pack, Lemon Elderflower, Supports Mood & Focus, Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Adaptogen Drink, Functional Mushrooms, Feel Clear, Calm & Refreshed- 12 Fl oz Cans

Tastes awesome, and I like having a relaxing alternative to alcohol in my fridge. I did notice a mild calming, mood-lifting effect, making it a great mid-afternoon reset drink. It is a bit pricey for a 6-pack, I would be able to justify purchasing more often if it had a stronger “buzz” or relaxing effect. Overall, worth a shot if you’re sober-curious or just looking for an alternative to your usual soft drinks! EDITED 11/14/24: I came back to edit this after trying it for a month, and now I can’t live without it. I look forward to having one around 4-5 pm every day and it’s just the boost of clarity and calm that I need to get through the most challenging part of the day. I recently noticed that drinking alcohol makes it to where I wake up in the early morning hours and can’t go back to sleep, but drinking Brēz doesn’t interrupt my sleep! I’d much rather enjoy one of these than a glass of wine these days.

I stopped drinking a little over 4 months ago and I was searching for an alternative to help wind down whenever I needed. Because my mood has been up and down while my brain is getting back to normal, I decided to try this to help whenever I became irritable for no reason. It has helped with some anxiety making me feel little more relaxed. The taste reminds me of a light kombucha with the tartness. I can take this to a party or concert and don't feel out of place. It looks just like a sleek alcoholic beverage. Obviously, it won't have the same affects, but if you want to try something different other than Liquid Death or non-alcoholic drink, this could be a good alternative. One thing I do not like is the price! This has 2200mg of lions mane which is a little over 2g per can. I can get a bag of lions mane powder with 50 - 2g servings for $20. So what are we really paying top dollar for? If you're looking for the benefits of lions mane, you can get it other places much much cheaper, but if you're looking for a drink to take to social gatherings, this could be great for you.

First, I have to say I was very excited about this purchase. I have been alcohol free since January and was really looking for a nice alternative, something that would relax me that I could drink while watching a TV show with my husband. I tried my first one while eating dinner. I had a full stomach and honestly, I did not notice a whole lot of effect. I felt slightly lightheaded when I was putting the dishes away. Other than that, I did not feel anything. And I should say, I am a novice, I have not had a whole lot of experience with anything other than alcohol. So I decided to give this another try the next day on an empty stomach. I drank the lions mane at about 10 AM during the workday. Within about 15 minutes, I felt a tightening in my chest and my tongue started to tingle. This feeling became worse over the next hour. It was uncomfortable, not a full out anxiety attack, but definitely uncomfortable. I did not feel relaxed. Unfortunately the sensation continued even after I ate breakfast and lunch. I took a nap and things seemed a bit better. However, I still noticed a lingering chest tightness up until the time I went to bed that night. Because of this experience, I do not think I will be opening up another can. I don’t think this is for me. So I was disappointed. I have to say, however, the taste was excellent. Unfortunately, you cannot return this item so I am stuck with it. I will probably give the remaining cans out to friends. Maybe it will work for you. I believe everybody’s experience will be different. Even the two experiences I had were very different.

A delicious beverage. Great for social situations 👏

I decided to give Brez a try and was pleasantly surprised by how unique and enjoyable it is. The sparkling elderflower flavor is both refreshing and invigorating, offering a taste that’s hard to compare to anything else I have tried before. It’s perfect on its own but also pairs wonderfully with other beverages. After drinking it, I felt a noticeable sense of relaxation, without any drowsiness or sluggishness. The subtle tingling sensation is particularly soothing, adding to the overall experience. While it doesn’t mimic the effects of alcohol, it does provide a calming focus that’s ideal for unwinding at the end of the day or staying relaxed during a busy afternoon. Brez is a versatile drink with clean ingredients and health benefits, making it a great addition to anyone’s routine.

I like them. I'm not really seeing it as an alcohol replacement though. It kind of just tastes like a seltzer. Doesn't give me energy. Doesn't make me any more calm. Not sure if I'd buy them again bc $30 for an 8 pack of just random seltzers seems odd. I think I would get the same effect from any other sparkling water?

It’s fine. Not as relaxing or altering as some similar tonics (say, with CBD), but the elderflower flavor is yummy and might have health benefits with the functional mushrooms and other ingredients.

Didn't feel much, if anything. Taste was pretty good, so middle of the road grade.
