Skirmisher Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Beers such as Stella are being brewed to ever weaker recipes in order for the brewers to pay less tax and increase profits. A few days ago I found Bishop's Tipple being sold at 5%ABV when a few years ago the beer was 6.5%. A 20% reduction in strength saves 20% of the duty payable, but is also the equivalent of a landlord adding 7 1/2 gallons of water to each barrel of beer. I don't have a problem with pubs selling weaker beers, but when pale imitations of old favourites keep popping up masquerading as the real thing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17399368 The customer also saves money on tax by not paying so much as they would if the alcohol content was greater than it is Duty free vodka is now easier to get hold of than ciggies/baccy. . But it makes you go blind. No it does not! Are you so stupid to claim such things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you are even more stupid than you first seemed... You stated that "duty free vodka made you go blind" An out and out LIE! The stuff you gave a link to is not duty free, but contraband (not vodka) made in sheds anywhere, including Birmingham..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Jnr Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Alcohol duty is a ****ing disgrace. It penalise non-muslims. This racist and discriminatory tax should be abolished. Drink duty free. Brew thee own and still two fingers up to taxman. Duty free vodka is now easier to get hold of than ciggies/baccy. If you want weak beer, add lemonade. It is called shandy, and is popular with Southerners. It's a refreshing drink on a summer's day; something else that's popular in the South.
