Beer makes much CO2 and needs to be banned - ManBearPig
Does that include White Hut Hefeweizen?
Death by regulation.
I wonder if the big breweries donated to Obama his cronies.
This regulation will kill off their small rivals.
Beer is not Halal.
we already know that a Russian Imperial Stout has more calories than a coors lite
In a way, this is actually good news. There is a thriving homebrew scene out there. I guess FedGuv doesn’t want the tax revenue. Fine by me.
menu labeling has little to no effect on consumers’ purchasing choices

Jack in the Box’s regular size milk shake was about 675 calories, on the menu at the drive through.
I got two tacos instead (192 x 2).
A craft beer may be about 200 cal.
I drank one when I got home.
The labeling has some effect on me. Not to the point of guilt, though.
Craft brewers already list ABV, IBU and SRM and well as calories
eg.

Don’t expect the Republicans in the Senate or House to do anything — the usual reasons would be cited. (1) No use passin’ it, it will only be vetoed. (2) We want to work across the aisle and this will disturb our relations with the Democrats; (3) We are saving our full press in Congress for the big issues; (4) The President might get mad and he won’t invite us to play golf with him once a year; (6) people are getting fat and they shouldn’t be drinking beer anyway; and, (7) John McCain, Lindsay Graham and John Kasich have their own “LITE” versions of the beer bill.
We have too many choices for beer. It needs to be reduced to one. Victory Beer, by MiniPlenty. Horse filtered.
This may be silly, but I doubt it is onerous.
How expensive is it to do a calorie check on a bottle of beer?
Once that's done, it shouldn't be that difficult to make a small adjustment to labels to include the calories.
If this is phased in, which I'm sure the lobbyists can successfully lobby for, then companies won't have to throw away any labels they've already printed.
Please someone correct me if this is more complicated than it seems.
I think we should be against this for the right reasons and not because some think-tanker pulled a number out of his backside.
Isn’t there a Republican in the Senate that has ties to a large brewing corp? I think he might have run for president even.
Re the photo for this story. Is that a glass of Obama piss? If so, does it meet FDA requirements for its unhealthiness?
After all, can you think of one think Obama and his Marxist minions have done to improve the health of the majority of Americans?
Next, instead of meat hamburgers you will only be able to order a 1/4 pound pure 100% pasture patty on a whole wheat roll, with arugula, dill dressing, imitation cheese, and a side order of fresh bulls balls au gratin.
Bon appetite America. You are what you eat and Obama is serving it piled high and deep. Enjoy real hamburgers while you can. Obama’s food police, PETA, is “watching you”.
This is abusive predatory regulation. If the calorie count is wrong or the labeling isn’t just right, there’s probably a big daily fine or per occurrence fine that would put a small brewer out if business. The big brewers can afford to hire lawyers, compliance officers and regular audits, so they don’t mind the competitive advantage. This crap has been going on since the New Deal.
The medical field is riddled with this type of obscure regulation that has nothing to do with quality of care; the misallocation of costs drives health care prices up. In fact, I would imagine that government regulation is a much bigger driver of costs than civil litigation.
2,224 new regulations this week:

Bud is upset as craft breweries have been making inroads and taking away market share from the bigs and the big breweries have in the past done everything they could to blunt craft breweries. As they will in the future. And how? By bribing officials like state senators like they’ve done here in Florida.
No sane growler sizes, no growlers if food served etc.
Has bud bribed obammy?
