Looks like Budwieser found a new market to try and get in on, wonder if it's as bad as the stuff full of preservatives...

But which preservatives are we talking about?

If pricing is comparable to other organic brands like Wolavers or Peak, I can't see myself buying this - well, maybe a single for comparison sake.

Cheers!

Isn't beer supposed to be "organic" by definition ?

It has to do with each and every step of growing and processing the ingredients, not just the ingredients used. Do you know what the local farmer is spraying on your barley to keep the insects from a free lunch?

Well, there's "100% organic". Then there's "Organic". And then there's "Made with organic ingredients". Confused? Read on:

Mmm. Tasty chemical nerve agents for insects is most common. Don't eat too much or it will make you feel kind of tingly.
