Educate a brother. WHY IS MALT LIQUOR CONSIDERED BAD FOR YOU?

[bgque12]

OK I found it here you go:

"Now, mainstream beers are made with ingredients such as corn sugar, yeast, malt extracts, and Irish moss (Papazian, 1997). The waste reside (malt) of mainstream beers, like Budweiser, is then mixed with chemicals such as methanol, formaldehyde, white sugar and bleach to make malt liquor beer (Afrika, 1999). The fact that malt liquor beer is made from the waste of other beers allows it to be sold in containers more than twice the size of regular beers for half the price (Brown, 1996)."

THIS IS EXTREME BULLSHIT!!!! JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS ON THE INTERNET DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE!

 

[doggish_098]

Actually, it's any beer over 6% or higher. And I'll take the word of a man that has been in the business for over 25 years then guys on this board.

Malt liquor is a North American term referring to a type of beer with high alcohol content. In legal statutes, the term often includes any alcoholic beverage above or equal to 5% alcohol by volume made with malted barley.

And it still doesn't explain why they serve a seasonal beer that is 11% alcohol at his restaurants.

Another great beer here that is 9% by volume

It's 6% and the government classifies it as a malt liquor. They can still call it a beer but it's classified as a ML. Dog Fish HEAD calls there's beer because of the connotation that goes along with ML.

Not going to argue with you but you and your source are wrong on this one. I just checked one of my books on beer and beer brewing from a class i took and i was correct. Malt Liquor is actually a lager which is the most popular of the three types of beer.

What makes a 40 different from say a yuengling lager is the "adjuncts" they add to the barley brew.

 

[3rdfunk]

Good question but I noticed that shit is only marketed towards black people. That should tell you something.

Its sold in the hood. Is that good enough for you?

The only shit I have seen in the stores that serve predominantly white folk is Mickeys. No Schlitz, Colt 45, Steel Reserve, etc.

read the article she's quoting entirely. That page says it is bullshit...

nobody bothers reading on this board.

 

[LSN]

All bullshit aside I don't buy that excuse. I've seen upper-middle class white folks drinking malt liquor too. Back when I was doing my own little IT side work making house calls I saw white folks chilling in their nice homes, reading novels by the fireplace and drinking Hurricane and Steel Reserve.

Malt liquor will twist your shit...I had to fall back on it cuz I was drinking 211 adeen...now I'm drinking Heineken and that shit is like fuckin water in comparison...I can drink an entire 12-pk of Heineken and still not be as fucked up as drinking a 40 oz. of 211...the funny thing is I was gonna make a similar post and ask if malt liquor is really liquor and if it can fuck up your liver...that shit sure as hell ain't beer doh...

Something about using bottom of the barrel beer for malt liquor. i know it will having u shittin the next day

Man my farts smelt like death...

 

[LSN]

first of all it is made out of the same stuff that regular beer is made from. Malt liquor is like bologna it is the stuff that remains after they brew the beer. It is the "bottom of the barrel" sentiment that goes into the making the stuff.

Word? I'm getting an education here.

 

[OTG08]

Its called Malt Liquor, what else u need to know

You do realize on the page you quoted, it's pointing out that the quote is not true. There is NO evidence of formaldehyde in malt liquor. It's a wives' tale, equivalent to pouring coca-cola over a pork chop to get worms.

That bitch...shoulda known not to trust someone w/ a face like hers...

 

[BMG]

I just wanna say that they do sell malt liquor in the suburbs and where white folks stay out here in LA, when I was coming up white kids was heavy consumers of Malt liquor and the shit was easily accessible around those parts. they used to sell old gold cisco thunderbird, you name it if muthafuckas will buy that shit they will sell it.

You see..now you're getting into shit that you don't wanna drink.

211 is "High Gravity" malt liquor.

Higher alcohol versions, sometimes called "High Gravity" or just "HG", tend to contain fusel alcohol, which gives off solvent- or fuel-like aromas and flavors.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusel_alcohol

Fusel alcohols, also sometimes called fusel oils, or potato oil in Europe, are higher-order alcohols (that is, alcohols with more than two carbon atoms) formed by fermentation and present in cider, mead, beer, wine, and spirits to varying degrees.

The term fusel is German for “bad liquor.”[1]

Composition and taste

The compounds involved are chiefly:

* 1-propanol
* 2-propanol
* butanol (various isomers)
* amyl alcohol
* furfural

Excessive concentrations of these fractions may cause off flavours, sometimes described as "spicy," "hot," or "solvent-like." Some beverages, such as whisky, Siwucha and traditional ales and ciders, are expected to have relatively high concentrations of fusel alcohols as part of the flavour profile. In other beverages, such as vodka and lagers, the presence of fusel alcohols is considered a fault. Very high concentrations — usually caused by incompetent distillation — can cause acute illness, including headaches, nausea, vomiting, or coma. A liquor with this level of concentration of fusel alcohols may be referred to as "rotgut."

It's not bad for you. It's been around the people that drink it that's bad for you.

A Story without Heroes:
The Cautionary Tale of Malt Liquor
April 30, 2005

The family of American-born beers speaks proudly about two of its children. Ask about Steam Beer or the less gifted but very popular Light Beer, and the photos come out, the stories begin. But speak aloud the name of the other sibling, and the room grows quiet. Dad won't look up from his plate and Mom goes into the kitchen and cries into her apron. How could you mention Malt Liquor?

A Humble Birth, A Proper Upbringing

Born in the late 1930's, Malt Liquor looked like a promising child. Brewing had returned with the Repeal of Prohibition in 1933, but the Depression was making things tough for brewers, and beer drinkers complained that their beer lacked the "kick" it had before. And then, in the 1940's, World War II came and America was rationing. Everything was tight at the nation's breweries. Not enough metal for bottle caps or cans, not enough gas for the delivery trucks or rubber for tires, not enough malt to make beer. Some brewers were even using sorghum and potatoes to fill out the mash.

Two brewers in the Midwest had an idea. At the Grand Valley Brewing Company in Ionia, Michigan, some time around 1937, Clarence "Click" Koerber first brewed Clix Malt Liquor. At Gluek Brewing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Alvin Gluek had a similar idea in 1942. The grandson of the brewery's founder, Alvin was happiest in the laboratory, tinkering. And one day, he found a way to brew a beer that would use less malt but have more of a kick. He named his malt liquor Sparkling Stite by Gluek, courting drinkers with champagne aspirations. Envisioned as an upscale product, Sparkling Stite was even promoted with score pads for bridge players.

I followed that link and it is a looooooooooong good read. One of the most interesting things I read in a while. Something that I learned . . . .

Less than a year later, Don Vultaggio and John Ferolito, of Midnight Dragon fame, found a way to offend a whole new minority. Inspired by the film Dances with Wolves and reprising the equine theme of Colt 45 and Mustang, they launched Crazy Horse Malt Liquor in March of 1992. As the Hornell Brewing Company, Ferolito and Vultaggio did well with Crazy Horse, selling more than one million cases in its first year in the market.

In 1992, Ferolito and Vultaggio introduced Arizona Iced Tea. Since that time, their Arizona Beverages company -- propelled by creative packaging and steady new product introductions -- has become one of the largest independent beverage companies in the United States. In 2003, Arizona teas led the canned and bottled tea category with more than $116 million in sales, ahead of both Lipton Brisk and Snapple. It is common knowledge that people investing time and money in a lawsuit are wise to sue someone with money. To that point, Lawrence I. Fox, an attorney for Hornell Brewing Company, said, "They talk about the principle, but what they really want is the bucks."

Aye. When the options are slim, po' up n be merry.

I haven't had malt liquor since I was like 18 or 19. Back when you drink anything you can get, Old E, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Mickey's, Wild Irish Rose, Mad Dog...

Chimay is some good beer. If you’re in to 'high gravity' beer like Chimay, try Brother Thelonious. A bit expensive though. Certainly no malt liquor!

It has a high formaldehyde content when it ferments. If this isn't a good enough reason, then you just like it, and that's cool for you. Yeah, I know whites who drink that bullshit as well, but it ain't marketed towards them, just us.

 

[FingersXG]

So you just gonna propagate a lie?

I didn't say that they put it in there, and it's not the only beverage that does that. Some sodas do it too. There was study a few years back done on soldiers in Iraq to figure out why they were getting sick, and this was the cause, or one of them. I'm not trying to keep you from your beloved Lightnin' Leroy malt liquor, or whatever it is you malt liquormen drink. Have it at, bruh.
