Holy smokes. Propylene Glycol (an ingredient found in anti-freeze) Calcium Disodium EDTA (made from formaldehyde, sodium cayanide, and Ethylenediamine) Many different types of sulfites and anti-microbial preservatives (linked to allergies and asthma) Natural Flavors (can come from anything natural including a beavers anal gland) High Fructose Corn Syrup GMO Sugars – Dextrose, Corn Syrup Caramel Coloring (Class III or IV made from ammonia and classified as a carcinogen) FD&C Blue 1 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity) FD&C Red 40 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity) FD&C Yellow 5 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity) Insect-Based Dyes: carmine derived from cochineal insects to color their beer. Animal Based Clarifiers: Findings include isinglass (dried fish bladder), gelatin (from skin, connective tissue, and bones), and casein (found in milk) Foam Control: Used for head retention; (glyceryl monostearate and pepsin are both potentially derived from animals) BPA (Bisphenol A is a component in many can liners and it may leach into the beer. BPA can mimic the female hormone estrogen and may affect sperm count, and other organ functions.) Carrageenan (linked to inflammation in digestive system, IBS and considered a carcinogen in some circumstances) Have they left any room for any actual beer in the ingredients? Newcastle brown ale has always been one of my favourite tipples as well. The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

Newcastle brown ale has always been one of my favourite tipples as well. Carcinogenic Caramel Coloring Newcastle, a UK brand, confessed to using what I would consider one of the most controversial food additives. Toasted barley is usually what gives beer its golden or deep brown color, however in this case, Newcastle beer is also colored artificially with caramel color. This caramel coloring is manufactured by heating ammonia and sulfites under high pressure, which creating carcinogenic compounds. If beer companies were required by law to list the ingredients, Newcastle would likely have to have a cancer warning label under California law because it is a carcinogen proven to cause liver tumors, lung tumors, and thyroid tumors in rats and mice. All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine. Thread: The 0 Manuscript |

I drink Amstel and try to stay with most beers from Amsterdam, it seems they still brew with integrity. |

0_ (OP) User ID: 45088268 United States 04/08/2014 03:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | German Beers are also a good bet. The Germans are very serious about the purity of their beers and enacted a purity law called “Reinheitsgebot” that requires all German beers to be only produced with a core ingredient list of water, hops, yeast, malted barley or wheat. Advocates of German beers insist that they taste cleaner and some even claim they don’t suffer from hangovers as a result. An obvious choice to consider is also Certified Organic Beers. They are required by law to not include GMOs and other harmful additives. Organic beers also support environmental friendly practices and reduce the amount of pesticides and toxins in our air, support organic farmers – which is a huge plus. (To this day, the beer drinkers in my family haven’t found one they love so if you have suggestions, please let us know in the comments!) Craft & Microbrews Beers – For certain local craft and micro beers, you can ask those companies for a list of ingredients and many of them will be up front with you. However, companies like Miller Coors are slowly closing in on craft beers and buying them up one by one… like they did when they created the unique popular variety called Blue Moon (the beer you drink with an orange) and Anhesuer-Busch did this with Rolling Rock and Goose Island Brewery. Make sure your favorite craft and microbrew is still independently owned and controlled before taking a sip. In the end – if you decide to drink beer, you are definitely drinking at your own risk for more reasons than just the crazy ingredients that could be in them. The key point to remember is – if you like to drink beer and want to be healthy, drink it infrequently and quiz the beer companies for the truth. Find a beer that you can trust and stick with it. All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine. Thread: The 0 Manuscript |

0_ (OP) User ID: 45088268 United States 04/08/2014 03:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What are the ingredients in your beer – all of them from start to finish? Are any of your ingredients GMO? Do you use any soy, corn, or rice processing ingredients? (Examples include: dextrose, corn syrup, etc.) Do you add any natural, artificial flavors or colors to the beer? (Examples include: yellow #5, caramel coloring, red #40, MSG, natural flavors) Are there any additional preservatives, stabilizers and/or clarifying agents added to your beer during processing? (Examples include: propylene glycol, Calcium Disodium EDTA, anything ending in “sulfite” like sodium metabisulfite, Heptylparaben, isinglass) All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.
