Fvck, man !


OK, but a better beer like Lagunitas Undercover, a 9%+ alcohol barleywine - it probably has less crap.

i'm slowly working my way through a six-pack. i drink about 1/2 a bottle at a time, so i had to find some really good corks so the left-over beer doesn't go flat.

Carlton United Breweries (CUB), makes of one of Australias biggest shames, fosters, have almost single handledly destroyed beer in Australia. They have production rights for the majority of local and big name imported beers. Not only are they putting GMO in it but out of the 4 - 4.5% alcohol in beer, as much as 4 of those percents (up to all of it) that are allowed in beer is either ethanol or methanol. By law you can add up to 2% by volume of each to beer. This stuff is not brewed alcohol, it's from industrial processes.

Beer in Australia is now just a ghost of beer. The beer is not brewed to make the alcohol so that is added. Because it is not brewed it does not naturally carbonate so that is added as well and from the poster with Newcastle BA, the colour is added as well.

There are 2 big breweries here that are still independent and making good beer - Tooheys and Boags. There are a lot of boutique or micro breweries. Pricey, Otherwise you make your own. The other option is to buy imports if you can find it. Heiniken, Stella Atois, Budweiser, Corona and brands like that are made here by CUB now but sold at import prices. Occasionally you can find the real imported stuff. Word gets around and the stuff sells super quick.

Lot of people I speak to realise something is wrong with the beer without realising what. It makes you sick to drink the stuff for more than a couple weeks, so a lot of them are chasing the imports. People who come visit say the same after a while. I also think that type of alcohol can make people extra crazy.

This reminds me of the time that beer was not allowed in the south beach diet because it "contained maltose". LOL.

Only asshats that don't understand fermentation science would think that half of the shit listed in the OP is true, or even matters much.

Anyone want to guess what propylene glycol is used for? Gelatin? Fish bladders?

OMG! Fish bladders! EEEWWWW!!!! (They're called isinglass finings. They've been used in traditional Irish and English brewing for well over 200 years to remove yeast during cask conditioning. It's not some new cheap food additive.)

When people posting this shit can explain in their own words the basic biochemical process of alcoholic fermentation by Saccharomyces, get back to me. Well, understanding the whole malting/brewing/fermentation/finishing process would clear up a lot of this nonsense, but where's the fun in that?

Better to just scare people away from beer.

Keeps your pipes from freezin.

In the words of Dom Deluise...

WRONG! (http://wavs.unclebubby.com/wav/MOVIES/BlazingSaddles/WRONG.WAV)

Like ethylene glycol, propylene glycol is able to lower the freezing point of water, and so it is used as aircraft de-icing fluid.
It is similarly used as automotive antifreeze
