Artificially sweetened beer?
I have come across two different brands of beer sold in Finland that is artifically sweetened with saccharin. Both of them are Czech and assure you on the label of the authenticity and quality of the product. The brands are Kozel and Eggenberg. The Kozel dark beer is artificially sweetened, whereas the other products aren’t. The only Eggenberg beer I have seen in Finland is the dark, artificially sweetened variety and it is usually sold in a brown cardboard box of 4 cans. There’s no warnings on the label of either.
Why would a beer brewery that claims to have been around since 15-something need to sweeten its beer with saccharin?
Fortunately, I have not seen Finnish beers doing this (yet anyway).
Recipe authenticity fail!
