A Kingly Question For Sure
These recent Bud-Light Commercials are sooooooooo very funny, where a Royal attempts to deliver a large vat of wrongly delivered corn syrup to his castle to the correct light beer brewers Coors and Miller. Seems the corn industry really has a large knot in their panties and has joined this fight.
The high-fructose-corn-syrup industry weighed in a couple days ago, whining about those highly funny Bud Light commercials that point out Miller Lite and Coors Light use corn syrup in their Coors and Miller lighter brews. Syrup supporters argue that most of the syrup is disappears in the brewing process where yeast eats these sugars to produce alcohol. The corn industry even hired some wacko Ph.D. from a prestigious New England university to make a paid statement certifying this fact behind sugars to alcohol conversion. Not necessary since most of us common folks know that yeast eats sugar and pees alcohol just before they die... this the very essence of the brewing process.
Of course, all of this is true... the fundamental question... why is it necessary to put corn syrup in the beers in the first place (or any processed food for that matter)? Does cheaper ring anybody's chime? I don't always drink beer, but when I do -- I drink Bud Light -- and this for over thirty years. I find it great that Bud Light brewmasters use no corn syrup to enhance their nectar-of-the-hop!
A Very Simple Fact: Bud Light brewmasters do NOT use corn syrup or hop-extract in their brewing process and Coors and Miller do. I guess the truth really does hurt in most cases.
