A SCOTTISH brewer criticised for manufacturing
Britain's strongest ale has answered his critics by launching the
weakest - and calling it Nanny State.
Brewdog came under fire
earlier this year when they put on sale Tokyo - a beer with an 18.2%
alcohol content. The company hope their new 1.1% brew will balance out
the difference.
BrewDog founder James Watt wrote on his blog:
"Anyone who knows BrewDog, knows beer, or anyone has more common sense
than a common (or garden) gnome will know that the scathing and
unrelenting criticism we faced was pretty unjustified.
"If logic
serves the same people who witch-hunted and publicly slated us should
now offer us heartfelt support and public congratulations. However I
fear that this, unfortunately, is an arena devoid of logic and reason."
i dont see why people critise them for makin strong beer if a person gets drunk and does somethin stupid surely its there fault isnt it? not the manufacturers. for example if u got caught speedin on your bike you wouldnt write to ur bikes manufacturer sayin its there fault for not puttin a limiter on the engine. Its a free country and if u want a business selling strong beer then whos to stop u after all nobodys being forced to drink it
Budwiser has an alcohol free beer on the market and that is very good - I think it has a strength equalling that of canned Shandy Bass around 0.2% IIRC
Alcohol Free or LOW alcohol beers seam to have a stigma around them and are bloody expensive. Why the government doesnt promote these (in tax free or heavily reduced) I just dont know. They seam hell bent on closing every pub in the country whilst trying to tell us it is to stop binge drinking - perhaps I should re-submit this post in the rant thread LOL
