Question
which common pub beers contain added chemicals or arent natural?  

Answer
I hate to tell you this,but it's a myth that beer has loads of chemicals added to it.There are certain food grade edible acids,food grade salts etc,that are added to improve water quality for brewing purposes.All of these additives are FDA approved.Talk about chemicals,take a look at some labels on packaged cookies,processed foods etc.
