I read FB's post, and wished to write on it, but I just couldn't do it - I was too emotional. A combination of disgust and outrage. But yet at the same time, it is all so strange. The only thing I can think of is the desire to restrict kids' access to seeing drunk people. But I think that is a bit of a stretch. I would also like to know, where does "the community" stand on alcohol use? I know a really very devout fundamentalist Christian (not a Mormon, though) who drinks beer (but has "never been drunk"). There's no more righteous Christain than my old friend, so where exactly does the "no beer" thing come from? Is there like a Bible verse about it? Also, where do they display the wine? How about the spirits? And besides this all, they have a beer ABV cap anyway!! (hmm, maybe they don't sell wine or spirits?) J, you are right on with this post.

It does skunk the hop compounds, though. Anyway, I fully agree with your (and Tomme's) assessment. To be nitpicky and pedantic, light doesn’t cause oxidation.
