    O/T Beer or Water

    When you cough up your hard earned at football grounds, are you getting what you paid for? Here's what they found when they tested the offerings at a recent NFL game here in Seattle. Looks like about a 10% across the board watering down for a $9 pint

    Stella Artois:
    5.0% advertised ABV
    4.8% tested

    Bud Light:
    4.2% advertised
    3.9% tested

    Redhook Brewery No Equal:
    5.2% advertised
    4.8% tested

    Shocktop:
    5.2% advertised
    4.7% tested

    Bass Pale Ale:
    5.1% advertised
    4.5% tested

    Budweiser:
    5.0% advertised
    4.4% tested

    I wonder how many are not interested in the % proof but more the taste ?


    I drink bud but a lot of people complain its too sweet :


    during the summer I drank a lot of Radlers lemon and the ginger ones .. they are very refreshing but only 2% proof


    then of course some prefer "real ale" yuck

    Was pissin misen at the bloke behind the bar in the Cutlers recently. My brother is not his to his real ales and after the Leeds game we went in for pint or two.

    Knowing they didnt do many main stream lagers, brother asked the barman "what's the nearest thing you've got to Carling?"

    "Tap water" came his reply
