I called North Coast Brewing this afternoon and spoke to a woman named Terrie Curti. She stated that the serving size for Scrimshaw is 12 ounces, and maintained that those 12 ounces has 4.7% alcohol and only 2gr carbs and 100 calories.
She emailed me a spreadsheet titled “Nutritional Analysis Of North Coast Brewing Co. Beers”
It confirmed the calorie/carb amount, but was silent on alcohol content.
If anyone knows how I can post the sheet here from my email let me know.
If everything is true it’s the greatest light beer ever!
I just hope Volkswagen hasn’t gone into brewing beer.
Now that’s a Doper! Interesting tidbit pkbites. I still don’t see how the math works to get all three. It’s like the consultant adage of “fast, good, cheap – you can only have two.”
Long shot would be if freeze distillation results in more alcohol without increasing calories, and that it is economically feasible to do so?
1 gram of alcohol will produce about 7 kilocalories. Alcohol metabolism will also mess up the metabolism of normal nutrients :), which is something to take into account in one’s balanced diet.
NB “carbs” have fewer calories per gram than alcohol
Utah has some odd duck laws regarding booze and isn’t generally representative of the rest of the U.S… Brewers routinely have to change their labeling and formulation to comply with Utah law.
