I would just like to find a beer manufacture that definitively states the ingredients of their brew. Why does it have to be such a mystery? We can confirm the ingredients of everything else we consume. I used to think Stella was one of the few that didn’t add any “extras”, but now I’m not so sure. Anybody know of any candidates?
I have recently tried some really interesting beers. they are like chocolate and orange flavour and chocolate raspberry flavour! but not extremely thick or sweet at all…
Most actually do list the ingredients. There is a standard for compliance on ingredients as well, which most beers comply with…and its water, barley, hops, and yeast. That is it…the differences come in what amounts and types/strains of each are used. Telling you the exact ingredient list would be like coke publishing its recipe (maybe not as big of deal but you get the drift).
If you are gonna drink Bud Light Lime then thats a different story, and is not really beer anyway…the main ingredient is piss.
Looks like the the rules have been relaxed through the years and a new tax law has taken its place. According to the entry, imports to Germany don’t need to comply. I wonder if the requirements for exports are different as well. And if a German brand is brewed outside of Germany, the tax law would not apply.
well we clearly drink different beers. And I dont drink any of those listed on that website either. I would be aware of some overhype regarding some sugars however, as they are naturally present and a component on the fermentation process (converting the sugars to alcohol), and certainly some sugars could remain. I admit this is different than a brewery putting HFCS in for some other reason…the easy solution in my mind is to drink better beers.
On the rare occasion I drink PBR I am certainly binging and doing more damage by drinking 15 of them than by whatever GMO ingredient is included…
I didn´t refer to different kinds of brewing, but to adding different flavours to it. Some breweries seem to consider it fancy to mix up beer with dog rose or liverwurst or something like that…
