Another reason to enjoy home brew

Interesting article on mass produced beer…errr I mean swill .

Ugh! I’m so sick it this article. I’m not giving up using irish moss just because it’s on this stupid list.

Yeah not a big deal on Irish moss or other finings… It’s the additives and lack of purity that grabs me.

Here’s Maureen Ogle’s rebuttal that was posted last time: What's In YOUR Beer? Or, The Dangers of Dumbassery — Maureen Ogle

I guess at the end of the day, I just like knowing what’s in my beer- and happy to be completely accountable for it.

At the very least this post gives us another chance to come up with some more beaver anal gland jokes.

Who needs a reason?

Here’s some harmful ingredients that are commonly found in beer:

I’m afraid you’ve fallen victim to Vani Hari, the infamous “Food Babe”.  She makes totally unsupported, unscientific claimns as a way of gaining fame and fortune.  There’s plenty about her out there, but here a a couple things to read…

Makes sense… when you’re hungry, you eat every part of the beaver.

That gal and her psuedo-science is just the worst.

Joking aside, I do agree that “real” ingredients are better than industrial food factory additives.  I prefer local food and a good micro or homebrew… it’s just the pseudo-science and scare tactics that bug me about these kind of editorials.

well thats all i was saying i guess-another reason to homebrew, can your own fresh food, or whatever your thing is. I clearly had know idea who food babe is or what she knows (doesn’t know)…but I clearly poked the bee hive.

i’m preservative free and all natural ;D

The taste alone is all the justification I need.
