Carling lager weaker than advertised

[Frijj]

4.0% on the labels, 3.7% in reality.

They're allowed a 0.5 PP variation though so not illegal...

If theyre only paying tax on 3.7% then they are knowingly misleading the public

There are people who literally won't drink sub-4% lager.

 

[mux]

Wouldnt surprise me

 

[Cockney Mackem]

So they're choosy about what lager they drink, but drink Carling?

Nowt as queer as folk.

 

[Weremuthe]

Carling lager - this shurely must be the most oxymoron statement ever!

Let's quote the full sentence shall we:

<< Molson Coors said beer was allowed to have a natural variation of 0.5%, and said customers had not been misled. >>

But this was not a natural variation - as you might get with a real ale - now was it dear Messrs Molson and Cours?

Good point.

Carling - I wouldn't wash our dog's feet in it.

There is no suggestion Molson Coors has broken any laws.>>

Yes Friggie, believe it or not I can actually read.

Oh great, you're in your sarcastic look how clever I am mode.

I suppose that is your default

 

[Mikeftw]

Its f***ing rank anyway

 

[TDalt]

More fool anyone paying for that shit. It's what a tenner a crate? For £9 more at a majestics you can get a crate of Pauliner. Tbf even Sainsbury's own brand in those little bottles for like £3 is better.
