Beer myths busted!

2. Beer is fattening!

3. Beer makes you bloat!





It is the bubbles from the carbonation that bloat your stomach. So pour your beer into a glass and the air bubbles will escape while you drink.


4. It is full of preservatives!

Most quality beers have no preservatives. Check the ingredients on the label.


5. Colder the better!

A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer and the best cold beer is Victoria Bitter! Myth busted.

6. Dark beer is stronger!

Malt determines the color only.


7. If you have tried one you have tried them all!
