Fermented Kvas Controversy
In early 2009, A. Le Coq announced plans to start producing fermented kvas. The plans were controversial due to the drink's ethanol content (estimated at around 0.5–0.7 percent by volume); most bottled kvas sold in Estonia is manufactured from unfermented malt or malt extract and does not contain ethanol. Particularly contentuous was the issue of safety of fermented kvas for children.
In June 2009, A. Le Coq announced it would start selling the fermented kvas in an unbottled form.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
