Reasons why the ACT is better than NSW - Beer in Aldi

Ah ha. I missed this topic. And it’s most timely. We are on the hunt for beer with no wheat, and no preservatives, and it’s difficult. Coopers has let us down. And the stated no wheat/no gluten/no preservatives beers are extortionate: O’briens is $21.95/six pack of tiny bottles (Jim Murphy’s), and Silly Yaks is similar.

I figured, lager brewed under the german purity law must surely have no wheat (unless it’s a wheat beer) and no preservatives? But then you find that many “german” beers sold here now are brewed here. There goes that theory.

So if this aldi stuff is brewed strictly under those laws, and surely must be safe?

Now just have to grit teeth and make a special trip to an ACT aldi’s.

I am going to try some of this German Fourth or Fifth Reich beer.

: )

If only they’d tried it this way the first time around.

I for one welcome our new cheap beer providing masters.

The German beer at Aldi doesnt give me a hangover. Therefore, Best. Beer. Ever.

As an aside, I think Germany is attempting a Fourth ( fifth?) Reich and attempting to take over the world via cheap priced Supermarkets.

Cans are lined with food grade plastic these days I believe.

Purity laws or watered down with free added chemicals???

Pure, but still somehow sealed inside a single piece of aluminium. Mmmmmm…. Tinnie.

I love the white cask wine.

The wife loves the red cask wine.

Together, it’s harmony (after a few anyway)

The Aldi piss is fantastic. Really if you put any icy Aldi brew into a cold galss besie a cold glass of Carlton Draught no one would know. Bring it on Aldi – bigger question though…Is CostCo going to sell berr, wine and spritis when it comes to Australia?

HNW gets the RA award for the most linkies in the one post EVER.

gratz HNW.
