A kick in the teeth for beer lovers


Like drinking soda water. It's brilliant. I can drink it so long as I haven't had a pint of something that actually tastes of something first.
 
And with the tolerance that breweries are allowed on strength, could be anywhere between 3.2% - 4.2%.

Piss water is vile.

Found this gem of a brewery and beer in Manchester Saturday.
Was stunning.

On top of that result , I'd say that was a most satisfactory weekend. :D

Mate the blond beer was absolutely first class.
I wanted a few more, the problem was we needed to get to the ground.
Well recommended, perfect pub, a laugh a minute and when life at a moment in time is perfect.🍺
 
They're not only lowering the percentage but charging pubs more per keg also. Makes no sense as pubs will have to put the price of Fosters up while telling punters the percentage has gone down.

Greene King are already rumoured to be taking it off draught in all their pubs. Wouldn't be surprised if it's very hard to come by in pubs or supermarkets in two or three years time

The alternative to keeping the 4% would probably have been to put prices up higher.
 
Fosters has been reduced to 3.7% ABV.

Careful

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that?”​

 
Iirc, it won't even be that.

Sure there was some findings that a beer's true abv can be in a range due to it being a "live" product. And that some basic lagers were found to be almost half a percentage off the advertised.
The big brewers can control it easily, so don't need the margin of error provided.

So it'll most likely be well under 3.5 now
