8 Beers That You Should Stop Drinking Immediately

I saw this article that Kevin B. posted to his Facebook feed.  Most of it isn't very shocking.

8 Beers That You Should Stop Drinking Immediately

What I found interesting was that Guinness uses HFCS.  The fish swim bladder for clarity is a fairly common practice I believe.  What is used is called Isinglass and is made from fish swim bladders.

For the GMO corn, no surprise.  All the big American brewers use adjuncts in their beer to keep costs down.  Rice and corn or the two biggest used adjuncts.  Corn is heavily subsidized in this country and controlled very much by the likes of Monsanto and ADM.  So, of course they are GMO.  Why do you think those beers are so cheap?  Or relatively so.

None of this stuff will kill you right away, but perhaps it will make you think about what you are drinking!

Drink craft and drink local!!
