Valley Brewed

1. Newcastle Brown Ale - The Newcastle beer has been found to contain caramel coloring. Class 3 and 4 caramel coloring is made from ammonia, which is classified as a carcinogen. While alcohol is a carcinogen itself, drinking it in moderation may decrease your chances at developing cancer. However, more added carcinogens will have the opposite effect. “The one and only” beer with extra cancer causing qualities.

2. Budweiser - One of the most popular beers, or most advertised is Budweiser. Budweiser contains genetically modified (GMO) corn. In 2007, Greenpeace discovered experimental GMO rice in Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) beer.

3. Corona Extra - I used to love Corona’s commercials. They were so peaceful and relaxing. That is until I found out that the beer contains GMO Corn Syrup and Propylene Glycol. Propylene Glycol is controversial, and is said to may be potentially harmful to your health.

4. Miller Lite - This is another very popular beer in America that contains GMOs. Miller Lite contains GMO corn and corn syrup. It’s “GMO time”.

5. Michelob Ultra - Less popular but still readily available Michelob beer, should be eliminated from your choices. This beer has been found to contain a genetically modified sweetener (GMO dextrose)

6. Guinness - Guinness is often praised for it’s smoothness.  However, several investigations proved that Guinness ingredients are quite disturbing. The beer contains isinglass, an ingredient which comes from fish bladder and high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup has been long banned from many stores and drinks.

Update: Good news! We’ve contacted Guinness and they have stated that they no longer use high fructose corn syrup in any of their beers.

7. Coors Light - Coors light is a drink that is very popular at bars and among college students.  Mostly because its cheap. The beer contains GMO corn syrup.

8. Pabst Blue Ribbon - Pabst Blue Ribbon contains GMO corn and GMO corn syrup.

BECAUSE THIS WHOLE POST IS BULLSHIT. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS BULLSHIT. THE DUMBASS CHICK WHO STARTED SPREADING IT (WHERE THIS BULLSHIT ARTICLE WAS SOURCED FROM) IS AN IDIOT PSEUDOSCIENTIST BLOGGER AND THE CRAFT BREWING COMMUNITY ALREADY TORE HER A NEW ONE FOR PEDDLING THIS CRAP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Yes, this required all caps. Because I’m sick of seeing and reading this stupid story. It is WRONG. Everything about it is WRONG.

This shit is only one step below the conspiracy theory idiots ranting about FEMA camps and chemtrails, and claming that vaccines cause autism.

Seriously, SHUT THE FUCK UP IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, AND DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET.

You know I really would like to see more of a distinction between beer geeks and beer snobs because there isn’t a difference. It’s the blatant “fanboyism” where people love to shit on other people or brands to make the one they like seem better that is so harmful.
