What are you drinking?

I wish breweries would start to make various non-alcoholic beers with proper taste. Would rather have those instead of ginger ale while I’m out and driving.

Heh, I’d rather have a ginger ale. But I’m a soda guy. I’m actually mostly off beer now, for a few reasons (I mean, I drink very rarely these days anyway), so I tend towards whiskey or cocktails when I’m out, and occasionally sip on a cider, which I often find more refreshing than beer.

0% beer is the same as these "bleeding" veggie burgers. It's not the real deal, so why all the effort to try to look like something you can never become. I like a real veggie burger with real vegetables or a real beefburger. I just don't like wannabe products

1 or 2% is a good shout - I'll see if I can find them.

Over here, there are things called Impossible burgers, or something like that. They’re supposed to be very good. I’ve never had one, though.

Those were the ones i was referring to! I tried them becouse they were promoting them over here. Why would a vegetarian or vegan want to eat something that mimick's meat and blood? It just makes no sense to me. I can get great falafel burgers here at the Iraqi snackbar, they don't mimic meat and i love them, while the impossible kinda grossed me out

That is kind of disturbing. Vegetables shouldn’t bleed.


I like falafel though.

My tought's exactly, who is the consumer they are targeting, right? Same with 0.0% beer...we have alcohol free beers here but they don't pretend to be lager, they are a different "kind" of beer with a distinguished own taste. They are brewed with no alcohol or low alcohol for many generations. Same with watches, you wear original brands, but no fakes right?

A random insight on our beerculture and how deeply beer is part of our country. The newsarticle explans how much malt, grain and other stuff we have less this year to produce beer for the local market ( we don't drink Stella etc, that's lower quality export beer) due to the hot summer, so we pay 1-2% extra on ingredient's and most brewers hush us and tell they wont raise the price of the beer with 1-2% Only one (smaller) brewer dares to raise the price for local with i think 2% cos he has slimmer marigins. Tough people forgive this brand i think cos they are more "people" and not "corporation" like INBEV & co

It's not bleeding cos it's not blood. It's 'juicy'.
