Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!
One of the Labatt's employees in London told me that only used corn syrup now because it was consistent. Apparently there's just too much variety in corn.
As far as industrial food products (disturbing term) go, corn syrup has to be one of the largest industries. I expect that their scale of production makes the price unbeatable when it comes to sourcing a fermentable product/process.
I have maintained for some time that there should be two categories of companies: brewers and beverage companies. The more products like lime or ice tea watsits that are more like alcoholic pop or coolers being introduced, the more my sense this definition holds true.
Brands are for cattle.
Fans are cash cows.
The herd will consume until consumed.
