Just a Q - would craft beers have more or less chemicals and sulfites than say Black Label or Heineken?

I ask because i usually get gout and bad headaches from from beer but i was wondering if the odd craft beer here and there would not get me as bad.

Anyone tried one of these machines http://www.fizzics.com/ the reviews look good. It is tempting.

So assuming someone here would know, lunches of late have been at Turn n Tender who serve a great brew they simply call creamy ale, more information isn't forthcoming though.

Any ideas on where to get it?

Could it be this (SAB brand Cream Ale). I had it before, was ok, but not blown away by it.

Just a smooth ale

 

[The_David]

hmmm, the Fransen Street one tastes a lot like creme soda, so maybe it is something else.

I dont think you can. From what i understand it only available on tap at vendors and the brewing is done on rotation between their 3 beers. Brewed in 6000litre batches.

Meh.

I wouldn't call this an IPA. Ale maybe.

Still dunno where you are, but afaik, fransen st beers are only available on tap in a small number of gp restaurants, which are not too far from the old fransen st brewery.

"Session IPA" is what they're going for.
