Brewing Mesopotamian Beer - 4,000 Years Old

I am not against alcoholic beverages - but for me, I had my run with them and no more thanks.

BUT I do miss the idea of REALLY good, full of flavour - strong tasting*, highly nutritional, refreshing, brewed beverages, that give strength and vitality - especially on a stinking hot day.....

Like a little bit of stout with a goodly dose of real lemonaid - if you could get alcohol free / undermented stout AND lemonaid with no more sweetness than is naturally present in the lemons - it would be really good as a drink on a stinking hot day.

*AND real brewed beer - with all the gear in it, what passes for commercially made factory beer in Australia is WEAK, TASTELESS, CLEAR with a piss coloured tint, and it's salted to make you drink MORE...

*It's just shit..... Fosters and XXXX (four Ex) and Tooheys, etc., just watery bullshit with NO taste and NO nutrition.

Yeah - I am Australian and I eat Vegemite with a spoon....

So real beer - has to have SOME taste and SOME substance and SOME nutrition about it....

There are actually SOME zero % alcohol beers or what are unbrewed drinks that are more or less beer flavoured cordial....

You see there are BREWED soft drinks becase they only contain 0.5% alcohol in them - so 10 glasses of the beer = 1 glass of full strength 5% alcohol content beer.

I think this is about one of the best beers in the world....

But I once bought a Coopers Stout brewing kit and left out the yeast and made it up as a cordial in small batches and the flavour profile from the malted barley was pretty shit - it's one of the rare ingredients that you can only use in chocolate chip cookies for gutsing on the south pole... but aside from that it's something that cannot really be used in anything - it NEEDS to be fermented.... other wise it tastes like shit - so the cordials and tea's (when left to go cold) were basically undrinkable.

AND this is an international thing and it's also word game playing.

Calling beverages "Non Alcoholic" means that if the remaining alcohol content is 0.5% or below, they are classified as SOFT DRINKS.... But it does not mean the are ALCOHOL FREE.

Here is the usual bullshit these lying cunts come out with:

Sour, IPA, Stout and More: 16 New Australian Non-Alcoholic Beers to Try

Heard the news? Non-alcoholic beer is actually good now. The first 13 to the craft market showed us alcohol-free beers can have decent body and mouthfeel. They just need a little help from grains such as wheat, rye and oats, and/or non-fermentable sugars like lactose and maltodextrin. "


Most journalists are retarded shit heads who'd get fucked in the arse by the neighbours dog for 5c, and "Soft Drink" classification of 0.5% alcohol or lower, does not make it a NON alcoholic drink... It's a reduced alcohol fermented drink.

Where as there ARE genuine ZERO % = NO alcohol beers around.

You see ultra low alcohol beers are find for the average person who wants to go out and have a few beers and not get drunk and not get into trouble and not lose their license etc...

BUT you see - with some 30% of the population self medication on chemicals of some description - alcohol, prescription and illicit drugs etc., I am a bit of a rare bird at 35+ years drug free.... so I intend to keep it that way - why? because everyone else who ever plays games with drugs (including alcohol) - almost always ends up dead....

So all the bullshit word games - it it says "non alcoholic" I expect it to be alcohol free, which is distinct from a reduced alcohol beverage.

Most journalists are just fucking idiots in the first place... so they cannot be counted on for anything - intelligent or honest.

You really have to do your own thinking and research and read all the labels and the fine print.

This looks all right.
