Karpackie Super Mocne 9% Lager 24x500ml Cans

Product Information

In conclusion, the Panel believed the product design gave undue emphasis to alcoholic strength particularly to those who were vulnerable and the size and non-resealable nature of the can may encourage immoderate consumption. For this reason, the complaint was upheld under Code paragraph: Goldbrayner Piwo Jasne [500ml can; 4% ABV], Goldbrayner Radler [500ml can; 2% ABV (55% Beer, 45% Lemonade)], Goldbrayner Strong [500ml can; 6.6% ABV], Goldbrayner Super Mocne ("Super Strong") [500ml can; 9% ABV].

The company said they believed 9% was factual information about the alcoholic strength of the product. The company noted rule 3.2 (a) did not specify the “higher alcoholic strength” referred to, as opposed to lower alcoholic strength. They said 9% was a typical strength for beer in this category and argued that “9%” did not emphasise that the beer was stronger than other similar ones. containers which are typically single-serve, and whose contents are typically consumed by one person in one sitting, should not contain more than four units. This position has received support from the CMO’s and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) as an appropriate threshold to help reduce alcohol-related harms.The company said 3.2(a) and 3.2(f) could be interpreted differently: they argued that one might take a subjective approach, as they believed the complainants had, but they believed it was better to refer to objective criteria such as the average consumer. The company expressed concern that a “subjective interpretation” of standards as general as these concerning a product, which fulfilled the requirements of commonly effective law, might lead to groundless commercial barriers ie infringe upon free movement of goods and free competition. They argued that this would consequentially lead to unauthorized restriction of the manufacturer’s freedom to format the message concerning the product. The company maintained that the naming “9%” on the front of the can did not infringe the Code. They said they would like to continue to communicate that information, also because they wanted to allow consumers to have a choice in the diverse offer of beer, including both light, mainstream, strong and super strong lagers.

There is great care taken to preserve its taste quality, specific to beer brewed in a local brewery. Van Pur was launched as a Polish-German company at the time of the collapse of Communism in 1989, by Zbigniew Wantusiak, and Siegfried Pura of Astrid Pura. [2] After a period of business experiments in unrelated fields, the company focused entirely on the production and distribution of beer. It is now one of the fastest growing beer manufacturers in Poland. In December 2010, Van Pur bought the Polish branch of the Danish Royal Unibrew group. [3] In exchange, Royal Unibrew received 20% of shares of Van Pur in Poland with Van Pur retaining buyers options of the shares. In 2011 Van Pur, owned five breweries with the total production capacity of 4 million hectolitre of beer annually. October 15, 2012 Van Pur exercised its buyers option on the 20% shares previously held by Royal Unibrew for 111 million PLN. [4] As of now, it owns about 10% of the market share in Poland. [5] [6]
