I dug these up:Could always try non alcoholic beers, i always used to scoff at the idea of them, they sounded daft and pointless, but since reading up on the high silica content ive been drinking them quite alot the past month. Seem to get some benefits like relaxation, slight increase in sociability, better sleep etc without the negatives like suicidal hangovers i usually get from drinking a few. Probably just from the high level of hops and very small amounts of alcohol left in, (depends what brand you get, some are probably just beer flavoured water, heineken seems good quality and becks), not sure of any benefits from the silica yet but sure ill keep stocked up either way.
Silicon in beer and brewing - PubMed
It is confirmed that beer is a very rich source of silicon.

Beer May Be Good For Your Bones
Beer contains lots of dietary silicon, which is good for your bones.

Sounds like non-alcoholic beer has around 1/3 the silica content, unfortunately...
That said, I've found making Silicade to be an annoying task, so if I can just drink 1 or 2 IPAs every day or 2 instead, that seems like a win, especially when traveling or something like that.
