Malter White Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Carlton have launched "Zero", a 0.0% alcohol beer. Fittingly, Bob Murphy is their brand ambassador because drinking 0.0 beer is just like playing footy for 20 years and not winning a flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Too bad he was injured a couple of years ago when they did win one. I think they forgot to add the 0.0% flavor on the label though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I tried a couple of alcohol free beers recently; it doesn't have much competition. The alcohol free hefewiezen was the only one I could drink 3/4 of. It at least had some flavour from the yeast and the wheat. I would just go with a glass of water instead.

Otto Von Blotto Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I tried the Budvar alcohol free one, for what it is not bad but still doesn't taste like a full strength beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 You can't put 100% & 0.0% in the same sentence.....unless you're a brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I just like how they really have to drive the point home that it's zero by putting 0.0% on it... apparently that's more zero than 0%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Could mean it is 0.04%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It wouldn't really matter anyway, anything under 1% is considered non alcoholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silmaril Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Kinda related, where does the Birrell name come from on the Coopers no-alc beer? Was this another brand they took over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I’m pretty sure Birell is brewed under licence by Coopers in Aus. I think it is a foreign beer brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB2 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Any beverage less than 1.15% ABV is considered non-alcoholic in Australia. Yep, Coopers have been brewing Birell Ultra-Light since 1977. We brew it under licence for Carlsberg. We also import Holsten 0.0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 The mention of Birrell reminded me of this. Coopers had this stuff going back in the 70s, maybe even earlier but my memory only goes back to the 70s. Low carb beer 20 years before it became trendy to drink low carb beer. I still remember the radio jingle. A bit like a drill sergeant's chant. "Dee Bee, Dee Bee, the taste of Cooper's DB. Dee Bee, Dee Bee, the taste of Cooper's DB."

"Ya win some, ya lose some, but take it from me, everyone's a winner with Coopers DB" Coopers have a new ad out atm along the lines of "Coopers, a beer for every occasion". Cheers, Lusty.
