The Moosehead I buy here in South Korea says that all ready.

People probably shouldn't be feeding their children Beer anyway.

Such a warning doesn't seem too onerous to me though.

I have no problem with that... I thought that everything that we eat or drink HAD to have a list of ingredients by law anyways. I'm surprised that beer got away with not putting this info for so long.

Most of the micro-brew stuff I buy already had the list, especially since what I get is re-fermented in the bottle and does not have a lot of additives the big-breweries use... some betaglucanase or propylene glycol alginate anybody?

People can feed their kids beer if they wish - one of the ways nto remove the taboos of alcohol.

I think it's not onerous if one is a massive fan of the paternalistic nanny state that thinks for its sheeple, but I hope they follow it up with:

Cigarettes contain tobacco

Lemonaid contains lemons

Ketchup contains tomoatos (like in the story)

Hotdogs contain racoon.

"This isn't just a bunch of fusspots," said Gwen Smith, editor of Allergic Living, a magazine and website that has long lobbied for the regulations. "This is about, 'How do I feed my children at dinner safely?' 'How do I feed myself?'"

You feed you kids beer at dinner? Man, you've got bigger problems that allergies.

Why would you hold a negative view of this? They give their kids alcohol in Europe, look at how mny alcohol related problems (ie drinking and driving) they have there compared to here.

Bring on the nanny state.

I was never a big fan of beer

Oh thank God, I always thought hotdogs contained pig snouts and arseholes.

"The new labelling regulations are designed to ensure that consumers have the information they need to make appropriate choices and that this information is provided in a clear and consistent manner," the department said in a statement.

Uhh yeahhh. So how are they going to present this information when someone goes into the beer store or a licenced restaurant? Are they going to have to have posters or something on the walls listing all the beers available and their ingredients?

Morons!

What would be the problem with that?

You know if I had gluten intolerance, I think I would know enough about my affliction to realize beer might not be good thing to consume. Sheesh!
