Default Heineken to weaken ale!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-21026451

Heineken are to weaken John Smiths ale to save on duty.

I wonder how many more will follow to save some money?

How is it possible to weaken John Smiths?
Why does your article call that dishwater "Ale"?

I was thinking about putting something along those lines!

I haven't drunk it for years.

I used to drink it, but I ended up coming home more sober than before I went out.

Hells bells is that even possible, unless they pour some of their lager in it

Best regards.

LOL....Heineken is a far superior drink in Holland. Had many a 'forgetfull' night on the dreaded stuff

I'm wondering if dropping the alcoholic content will have a negative impact on sales

If so, they'll certainly save on the amount of duty they pay then
