[QUOTE="Biggie, post: 359057, member: 24034"] The alcohol component of beer (showed as % of the volume in Uk) is decreasing across numerous brands. Stella was 5..2% then dropped to 5%, now 4.8%. Hobgoblin is now down to 4.8% from the previous 5% I recall seeing in Sainsbury. Other "premium" beers have done the same. I'm struggling to get a coherent reason for this change.... I have heard it is a tax saving measures for the brewery, and I have heard that it is part of a government scheme for public health and also for the minimum alcohol pricing legislation the powers that be considered...and I think it's still a possibility. In the UK declared alcohol content % can vary by 0.5% above or below declared amount... so cans stating 4% can be manufactured to be 3.5% benefiting the brewery. But what f*** buy more cans right. What is actually super annoying is that Special Brew and Tennants Super are both down to 7.5% from the halcyon days of 9%. Potentially it could be 7% given the 0..5% up down thing. Brew and T Super are a right of passage for many a teenager and the nourishment for many a drunk sitting in a park and those I between who are skilled at working the Brew and Super. Rant over.
