I need a savoury, summery drink as an alternative to beer (piefed.blahaj.zone)

It's a hot summer afternoon. I'm sitting down on a hot afternoon, with a burger, and a cold beer.

What I'm looking for is something to replace that cold beer with. I want it to be crisp and fresh, but also not sweet. I love tart and bitter flavours. Unfortunately, my options are either cold and sweet, cold and alcoholic or hot and non sweet.

So threadiverse, what alternatives am I missing?

Tereré is great, but it's a bit of a pain to source in Australia. What else is there?

Alas, I'm allergic to black tea!

I'll add the others to the list though. Thank you :)

What about green tea? It's also good iced.

It's the same plant, just harvested sooner, so I'd imagine it's the same issue.

A single black tea doesn't do me any harm, but if I have a couple in a day, or if I have black tea for 2 or 3 days straight, my throat starts to tighten up. It's mild, but it's concerning enough that I haven't pushed it any further and don't drink it anymore.

Green teas have never given me the same reaction, but to be fair, I don't think I've ever had 2 or 3 green teas on the same day...
