You can try it for yourself, when you are there. Drink a few bottles of different brands and you will notice that they all taste very similar from the additives. The import/tax system has nothing to do with it. Hi tony, it might look contradictory, but as everyone who’ve been to Goa will tell you, beer is unfortunately not pure there.

The bottles are labelled for sale in goa only as India maintains a maximum selling price policy and each state has its own tax system therefore as you correctly state Goa's low tax is reflected in the price printed on the bottle. The for sale in Goa only label is to prevent an inter state black market trade. Glycerols are added to all beers throughout the tropics to prevent over fermentation due to the heat. If your theory is true then why is truly imported booze without any added Glycerol so much more expensive in high tax states than in a low tax state such as Goa. Cheers.

Thank you very much for the info on how to separate the glycerin from the beer. I almost always know when the beer has preservatives, because I get an allergic reaction.

In Kerala beer is often served in teapots to circumvent strict state licensing laws- is it polite under these circumstances to request "no glycerine"?

Because all beers in India have a similar smooth-bitter side or aftertaste. You don't have that affect in other countries, so there must be something added to the beer. goks, what did those brewmasters say what they use instead of glycerine then?

Wasn't sure where to post this so here it is as it relates to beer available commercially in India. This is the first time I have come across the mention of glycerin to "preserve" beer. Also I am scratching my head about the "method to remove glycerin" - isn't glycerin fully miscible in an aqueous solution? http://www.nomad4ever.com/2009/01/13/the-secret-of-getting-pure-beer-in-goa/ [...] [...] Glycerine as a preservative in tropical beer.

See Figure 3: http://webserver.dmt.upm.es/~isidoro/bk3/c07sol/Solution%20properties.htm In other words, the glycerine isn't sitting in a layer at the bottom of the bottle; it's dissolved in the beer. All you're doing with the "Lonely Planet trick" is dumping out some of your beer and diluting what's left.
