My 2 cents but I tried this just because I fell in love with BB's Hef beer...and Big Head was FOUL!!!! Not a fan at all, no carb = no flavour IMO

Schofferhoffer is cheaper. And better.

These local micros are taking the piss with being more expensive than the real thing.
 
Ethanol is not a carbohydrate. It's an alcohol.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate
"A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol
"Ethanol is a 2-carbon alcohol with the molecular formula CH3CH2OH"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol
In chemistry, an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom


ergo, alcohol is a carbohydrate.

no carb beer can be found behind the hen's teeth, just past the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, next to the perfect woman.

No ethanol is not a carbohydrate. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl group (-OH), which carbohydrates do not have. It also doesn't have the structure of a carbohydrate, or the required number of elements in it. E.g. glucose (C6 H12 O6) has a ring structure.

By your reasoning, every single compound that contains C, H and O would be a carbohydrate (esters, aldehydes, organic acids etc.)
 
This beer makes you lose weight by tasting like crap therefore making you drink less.
