It took a lot of time to get it right. It will be on draft soon

Two weeks in, all ok went around 7 months last year apart from tastings, which I have to do in my job. Easier on furlough as not at the brewery. Got a house full of free beer though. Going to drink next in April on my birthday

There's no articles I know of but am aware of certain discussions as we are launching another alcohol free product (watch this space G----H) and there's the compliance issue post brexit and labelling etc. I can't currently say anymore but as it becomes more public I will. Suffice to say...

I’m led to believe the regulations will be changed removing ambiguity. Watch this space.

I think the issue for lots of people is that their social being, is around others in pubs. Each agree (or happen) to meet regularly where upon they engage in the same routine. Don't totally appreciate the amount they are consuming but readily comment about the local pisshead who comes in on a...

Interesting and I stand corrected however within the article it states what is alcohol free. A typical brewers beer (for the workers) used to be around 1.5% which they traditionally would have had 8 pint a day allowance, 1 pint a hour.

https://www.gov.scot/publications/alcohol-framework-2018-preventing-harm-next-steps-changing-relationship-alcohol/pages/6/ Same as in England/Wales. Not law but can be considered misleading under guidelines from TS. The relevance to it (i'm not really bothered myself), is that a friend had a...

But you can't call it Alcohol Free. There's no way Brewdog are brewing to 0.5%, they are extracting the alcohol.

We don't sell Asahi 0.0% and Hophead was moved prior to us buying Fullers.

0.5% Beers are achieved using pasteurization, 0.05% alcohol free beers uses reverse osmosis, passing the liquid trough a filter that only allows water and alcohol to pass. This is then simply distilled removing the alcohol the remaining water is then added back to the syrup. Because the...

Sorry but they are tight and Brewdog are being investigated as their labelling is misleading

They can market them as AF but not as alcohol free. You have to make the assumption what AF stands for. Mainly it's due to the tax levy, as 0.5% will not get you over the limit as you body will process it before it takes affect. It does make a difference to people intolerant to alcohol. The...

They are stretching the truth here in a big way. They are not alcohol free beers Alcohol-free beer = no more than 0.05% ABV De-alcoholised beer = no more than 0.5% ABV Low-alcohol beer = no more than 1.2% ABV Alcoholic beer = contains more than 1.2% ABV You will see on the board a number...

Thanks.

You have answered most of the points yourself. Yes alcohol to some can become , a reliance, a dependency or addiction. To the vast majority though it’s an enjoyable social experience. While there’s some that still go out to get pissed the trend now is the experience. Premium drinking is now how...

I’m neither ignorant or arrogant on the subject, given I’ve owned four pubs and now am a quality manager for a major brewery. Of course I have a vested interest but the statements you made are without any substance. Expand the argument to true reasoning and you’ll find I will engage fully and...

Excuse me I haven’t thrown insults. Says more about you than me.

You make sweeping statements which are worthless. Hence my abrasive reply

Utter rot.
