I know this subject comes a close 4th to the big 3 no no topics so hopefully it won't get shut down but i'm looking for a light beer or cider around 2.5-3% that is flavoursome and low carb (gotta do something about the gut excercise is not enough. I like to drink beer and cider and i recently saw a show on prohibition in the US that beer was drunk by and recommended to Americans any time of the day back in the 18th and 19th centuries and that spirits and high alcohol beers stuffed the whole system up ,apparently America was reasonably peaceful when mid strength beer was drunk by everyone for breakfast lunch and dinner until hard liquor which turned up not long before the civil war and the push westward which was also a very violent time ).
My fave is Coopers mild and other reviewers give it a good score too carbs and kj are a bit down on sparkling and pale but i'd like to get less than 1 g per 100 ml .i have tried Big head no carb but its a bit exy particularly only being 330 ml .I have googled this but do you people have Any other ideas ?

Go for a run or take the motor of your bicycle you fat bastard!

Yes yes, this topic is perfect. This is exactly the type of conversations that are encouraged on Seabreeze.
The quality and substance of this particular topic will have real meaning with some people, and less with others.

^^ nothing if you like dresses and sitting in the shade at the cricket.
Next thing you know you'll be drinking that Redkorderlig crap and standing in the kitchen at party's.

I thought Cider is a girls drink - like West Coast Coolers.

Oh jeebus, now there was a 1990's teenage guys best friend and a father of a teenage daughter's worst nightmare

Try a glass of water and two panadol.

I been drinking beer for 20 years and still no beer gut.....I think it's how active and what you eat that creates a beer gut........ Like how many chicks do ya see that drink beer that have beer guts???

The wife still likes the Westie coolers 20 years on, same result though.

She's still someones daughter.

I made a disturbing discovery the other day.

There's a big grog wholesaler near me that sells booze at pretty (very) good prices and is happy to sell to the public.

But that's not the disturbing bit, I discovered that they have these big crates of loose beers and premixes that have come from broken slabs. You have to put em in a box yourself, and a some of them need a rinse when you get home to get sticky spilled booze from other broken bottles off them, but they let em go for $1 each ($2 for premix spirits)!!

I got myself several cartons of Becks for $24 each (+GST admittedly), and Beam's at $12/6 pack (again, + GST).

So much for trying to drink less!!

Drank about two thirds of it and head feels OK today.

Good news:

The best beer in Australia is being resurrected.

Eumundi Lager. The Sunshine Coasts best ever product.

Waaaaaayyyy before it was cool to drink natural, preservative free beer in a sea of VB and Tooheys new this beer was a joy to get whacked and have no hangover...... Love it.

The whole low carb beer is BS. Go checkout the labels and read what the difference is. it's a poomfteenth of what you're ingesting. The weighty issue at hand with beer is alcohol content. Either go low alcohol or look at what else you're having with the beer. Mmmm salty fatty snacks. You would be better of looking for low fat snacks.

CMC is right Eumundi was a great beer.

My fav beer is my homebrew Coopers Pale Ale. It's not quite as good as the real one but hell at $20 for 2&1/2 cases.
