And unisex toilets...

 

Is Scotland a country? Don't we own you for the time being?

 

Well spotted

 

How can it be the most beautiful in the world, it's always stuck under dark clouds and rain, that's why you fookers are always so miserable

 

And always with their left hand...

 

Yep, unless you're left handed.

Basically the hand you don't use to eat food with (using your hands)

 

If it's brewed in the UK then don't bother, go find a new beer that isn't.

 

Agree with this.

Once a beer has been sold off and brewed under licence in the UK, it basically all gets made in one big factory and loads of chemical ****e and flavourings added.

Stick to a beer that's brewed by the manufacturer.

 

Because that's what people who are not ignorant little Englanders such as yourself voted it so Kev.

Go figure eh.

 

Back on the Tennents then?

 

but this was the point I was trying to make, apart from the one copy and paste I did, most other websites were insisting that Moretti was still made in Italy. Even this came at the top of the google rankings...

Products by Birra Moretti:
"I can confirm Birra Moretti and Siciliana are both suitable for vegans/vegetarians." Company email (June 2011): "We confirm that Birra Moretti is only produced in Italy, no other countries have any licences to produce it. We also confirm that Birra Morettiis absolutely vegan friendly."

Now clearly the above date is 8 years old, but hardly any sites have been updated by bots since, and remember bots visit sites daily. As was shown in my next link during the conversation, that their were seven listed law suits against companies for misleading information on where the beer was brewed for exactly the same reasons I'm more or less highlighting.

Basically what they are doing is holding on to the original history of the beer, while misleading the consumer to it's origin and production methods now. ie the point Piskie has just made.

Basically the only way to really and truly get round this shhite is requesting birra locale and hope the seller/bartender knows their stuff

 

These things are important.

 

It's a bit like people buying the meals you cooked, traded marked under your name, only to find out it was actually hoyed together by @Commachio

 

Not a massive fan of Moretti tbh, come to think of it the only other Italian beer I've tried is Menabrea and that wasn't great either.

 

He might do a better job at times tbf.

 

But what beer do you like....and what if it's the same beer just with a different label

 

I'd agree with that, always feels a special place wherever you are in it..

 

Quite like that Menabrea. Moretti gives me a headache though.

 

I only drink the imported stuff.

I get your point though and agree that it's taking the piss. (Pun)

 

But that is the point, how do you know if it's imported?

Chief made the point the other day, stating cans were still produced in Italy, whereas the bottles are produced in the UK - you would have to do a fair bit of research to know the real origin of each beer.
