My sentiments exactly. Saying that a “low carb” beer is brewed with out compromise is ludicrous! 99.9% of said “low carb” beers are brewed with adjuncts and extracts — which essentially does not qualify them as “true” beers.

Here is my recipe for a low carb beer:

*10 ounces soda water
*2 ounces vodka
*1 drop of corn extract
*1 drop of wheat extract
*1 drop of rice extract
*1 drop of stale hop extract

Stir. Serve with a lime.

The episode was rather entertaining! Cheers, Beer Men

We saw that article too! I think that’s why none of these beers are positioning themselves as a healthier option. Our view is currently that these beers have such a subtle flavour that they may appeal to people who are normally put off by the taste of beer.

Funny, I am sure I just saw an article, which I will try and find, that says that the low carb beers are not any better health or weight wise. If I can find the bloody article I will post.

Back to my KilKenny then, lads.

Gee lads, 3 pretty average beers for this review, tough ask even finishing one of those. Green is a bit of a marketing project anyway right?!
