In today's Age
now most of it concerned with amending the current lawsd to catch 'alcopop' drinks 'made like beer' like smirnof platnum. All this i dont care about. This is the worrying bit
Amendments will mean products will no longer be defined as beer if they contain more than 4 per cent sugar, any artificial sweetener or flavour and must contain hops or bitters comparable to hops.
Now correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt there be a far proportion of beers that have more than 4% sugar in their bill? now lets assume they means sugar sugar not malt. That still leaves belgians, triples etc. The only hope wwe have is that they mean 4% sugar by weight once bottled. Even then I would have thought things like RIS triples, Quads might be in the firing line.
