As in Carlton Zero? Wow, first person I've ever heard make that claim…
I don’t mind the Carlton Zero - doesn’t have the horrible watering aftertaste of most low alcohol beers. Tinnies ultra low alcohol is respectable too.
Yeah look I don't think any zeros are amazing, but one or two on a hot day for those of us who aren't allowed to drink alot is pretty good.
I find the Heineken and Peroni options too sweet.
cooper birell is very good if you want a 0% alcohol brewed product …..supermarkets usually break it into 6 packs but dans price match supermarkets if you want a slab rather than carry 4x 6 packs …….usually about $28 - $30 slab supermarket price …… if coopers can do it for this price not sure why others major brands can’t unless imported ….no tax or duty for alcohol, so just the cost of barley, hops water brewing and getting it onto the shelf.
haven’t tried carlton zero but do buy the coppers regularly for my alcohol free days and work has 0% blood alcohol policy while on site and find coopers more refreshing then cola drinks.
Hey OP was image taken in Qld?
yes
It was $6 last week in NSW
I poured two of these down the sink today to make room in the fridge. They taste terrible.
I concur
what did your sink do to you to deserve that?
Should've at least saved your sink its dignity and flushed it down the toilet
a sink won't fit down the toilet
Disappointing flavour, prefer Peroni Libera
Carlton zero is not worth a penny
Is it worth more than tap water?
most of these 0% products don’t claim to be beer if you read the labels, not sure if it’s a food labelling law, they just call then brewed beverage ….. reminds me of kombucha except one is based on barley and hops and the other on tea and fermenting vs brewing , both are bacteria working on nutrients in the liquid ….. seems to be less additives in the 0 beer products than kombucha.
Probably just a legal thing, it doesn't count as the legal definition of "beer" under the excise laws (or any other laws).
Beer is brewed then fermented, both steps happen. Some non-alcoholic beers they boil off the alcohol (which is why it tends to taste bad, even if using a vacuum process) or use reverse osmosis (which is expensive and still doesn't work perfectly). I've found these ones don't tend to work well.
The better craft non-alcoholic beers I've had all use a different process, don't let it get too alcoholic in the first place and there's no extraction. It's essentially a very controlled fermentation with special yeasts. It's why it's hard to make too, because you can't just stick a batch in the corner of your regular brewery and make it, the brewery itself has to be very clean because the product being made would be very easy to turn into stronger beer if some rogue yeast got into it.
Same price in Vic
I saw a great rant video about people complaining about the price of petrol when it has been drilled, pumped, transported by ship, refined, transported by truck - for $2 a litre, but 385ml of water and fermented grain is being sold for $7+ at a bar. And then this flavoured water without any excise is twice as expensive a petrol. Ridiculous.
$4.50 at Woolies Inala
I recon Carlon and Coopers offering is way better tasting and much cheaper.
At $7.50 worth a roll.
