Anheuser-Busch, MillerCoors Post Beer Ingredients

I don't think there are any hops in yeast, so that's not a huge surprise.

 

One of the home brewers can correct me if I'm wrong but I'd have to think the corn syrup is added because it's a cheap fermentable sugar.

 

Same with High Fructose Corn Syrup. But I wouldn't call it "sugar". Just call it by what it is...corn syrup or corn sweetner. Also, I find it "funny" how they post their ingredients, a while after everybody has seen "8 beers to stop drinking now." web-site. Look at some ingredients in your fridge or pantry. Chances are you'll see Corn Syrup and or High Fructose Corn Syrup. So, it's not just in beer. Cheap alternative to sugar and very widely used filler. The most common PB&J sandwich. Bread, jelly and it even in some peanut butters. Every iteam contains it.

 

<--This guy

 

Sounds like this "Food Babe" character needs to sit down, chill out, and have a beer.

 

You don't scare me with your "logic" and "grammar".

 

Call them whatever you want but I imagine they use them because the sugars in them are fermentable.

 

I can see where you are coming from but Anheuser Busch is the top selling beer in the the United States of America. So they must be doing something right. That is all I have to say about that.

 

Eh, I don't hate on BMC like many around here but I'm still convinced that you're doing schtick. If not then you wouldn't have stuck around for six years while only making 14 posts. I can't imagine I'd keep up with a blog that shit on something I liked for six years. Either way, drink what you like and cheers.

 

Oh, ignorance is bliss.....

 

Homebrewer to homebrewer. Unlike manufactured food, there's only a handfull of ingredients needed to make beer, and that has not changed even with science and industry involved because in the end, there's still a living thing called yeast that does the real leg work where the ingredients come together to make beer. There's no margin for error, and nothing to hide under in flavor nor profile in brewing what they brew. You should know yourself, there's not much lipstick you can put on a pig when you screw up a batch especially when it is TO STYLE. And if you have any hope to make it taste the same time and again. You have nowhere to go but back to your brewer notes to see what has changed, or what was done differently, and THEN to the recipe.

 

If I've learned anything from the reaction to this nonsense, it is how little people know about propylene glycol. Most brewers realize its application in cooling vessels. Another very common use of propylene glycol that I have not seen mentioned once is in any kind of extract flavoring that may be added to beer. Unless you're using a pure fruit puree or other natural source, odds are that your fruits, nuts, chocolate, etc. are in a propylene glycol base (this is obviously not limited to beer).

 

Most of this just made me sad, for so many reasons... one dumbshit commenter replying to another dumbshit commenter and they both are too dumb to know their asses from a hole in the ground (see: 'quintessential summer' guy and his argument partner) .... but one comment made it all worth it:

"American [macro] beer is like having sex in a canoe.

It's fucking close to water."

 

Depends which version we are talking about. Yeast wasnt included in the original.

 

The numbers are going down, so they must be doing something wrong!

Logic!

Yeah, its a troll, I dont know why I responded.

 

More caveat emptor.

 

Am I the only one that sees this as a blessing in disguise? Now we know what NOT to add to our brews.

If you're drinking Budweiser and are worried about what you're digesting, it makes one wonder.

 

Except the buyer can not make an educated decision due to the lack of information.

 

99.9% sure that all of the big boy breweries are well beyond isinglass/biofine/whatever and are all using massive centrifuges.

 

That is why they should "beware".
