Artificial Colouring And there was me thinking the colour came from the dark roasted barley.
Seems it is just coloured beer after all....
Next someone will tell me that Guiness is coloured....
You are too nice. Long ago all the decent traditional british beer companies were sold off to shysters like Interbrew to make in their chemical factories far away from their traditional roots. But one of the few good things G Brown did was to change beer taxes to favour small local breweries and since then we have had a real growth in microbreweries producing honest british beer made from natural ingredients. And my stomach has noticed the real improvement there has been.
Even more outrageous have you noticed the inmport of so called flavoured ciders from places like Scandinavia? Even into Somerset and Devon where small local farm cider and perry producers are suffering. Again the actions of the big corporate crooks.
