Nanny State Nazis Are Destroying Our Beer! #exlamation Mark #uk

The question is why?

I bought some Beck's the other day, and it was always 5% alcohol but now it's 4.8%

Same thing with Warsteiner.

It's something to do with all the duty the tory bastards stamp on imported beer or something.

So not only are the tory bastards robbing us of 90% of our beer money before it turns into beer, but they are forcing brewers to lower the alcohol content, and consequently ever so slightly making our beer taste less nice.

What an absolute bunch of cunts the tory bastards are.

Grow your own. Brew your own. Fuck the system.

 

I've gone off beer. Don't drink it anymore. Can't understand why I ever liked the stuff. It tastes horrible.

 

How is that even possible?

 

Beer pressure

 

Guinness Extra Stout=6.00% by volume.

 

Just drink 0.2% more, problem solved

 

Idea. 1,002 bottles isn't that much more than an island

 

So only on imported beers?

I've been marinating on this 2.8 % rolling rock since I read this thread earlier..Rolling Rock used to be my go to cheap beer..but after a few local breweries opened up in the area and stores started distributing them, I forgot about rolling rock...because it sucks with or without a decent alcohol content
Don't you guys have enough domestic options to make it so this doesn't really matter?

Like, why is Budweiser even listed above? I feel like the UK should have enough options that Budweiser should never, ever, ever become an issue.

 

The larges beer ABV I've ever had was 12.5%. It was an imperial stout.

That said, I'm amazed that Rolling Rock is at 2.8%. That's horrifyingly low. No wonder they call that stuff Bunny Piss in the Rocky Mountain states.

 

Drink real beer by real breweries, not the crap you just posted above.

 

The US has better, and more, craft breweries at this point.

 

Becks sucks anyway. I used to drink it but the price is like they think it's made out of gold or something.

Is there really much difference in .2% though? Like that's a mouthful or something right? I doubt I'd ever feel a difference.

 

We have real ales and some of them are quite strong and don't fall victim to "consumer cut backs", and very nice but a little more expensive. Sometimes though I like an ice cold, clean, crisp lager pilsner and Beck's and Warsteiner are good beers, or at least they used to be. Now they are slightly less good.

 

0.2% is 4% of 5%, so that's 4% added water to the beer, or for every pint of beer that's 5 tea spoons of water added.

No, that's not acceptable.

 

Hmm. 4% more water over the volume of my bourbon can from Woodstock to Nelson County.. nothing to write home about I don't think. 10%'maybe, but 4% ain't gonna not get me drunks.

 

I have a very discerning palate

 

Dont you guys drink warm beer? And eat things boiled in sheeps intestines?

 

I think its been at least 5 years since I have drunken any kind of beer, wouldnt be surprised if it was a decade

 

That's just like saying all Australians are sheep-shaggers

 

Yes we drink beer warm sometimes, because unlike Fosters and XXXX our beer doesn't taste like piss when it's served warmer than 1 deg C
