Craft Beer IS Good for You

The Way Things Are Going, Craft Brews Might Soon Be Subsidized!

Great news from academia (we’re talking about the schools, not the nuts). It turns out good old beer is nutritional and downright healthy. Research shows craft beer not only makes your body feel better, it actually helps your body be better. If there’s any better news lately in the beer brewing industry, we haven’t heard it.

California Craft Brewers tell us the earth actually shook when this news came out!

Ah, the health benefits of craft beer. Let us count the ways.

First of all, beer is loaded with vitamins and minerals. And to think all these years we’ve been wasting money on pills! Craft beer can be low in sugar, full of fiber, and great for your skin. Next thing you know, health food stores will be shouting, “Drinks are on the house!”

Recent research even indicates beer can make you more beautiful. There are skin-boosting benefits because the barley used to brew beer has a potent antioxidant protecting skin from sun damage. Beer is also good for your hair. Lots of shampoos already have beer as an ingredient. It seems like a waste but the hairstyles are sure to be tasteful!

The hops contain silica which boosts luster, increases volume, and fortifies the hair. Just boil the beer to remove the alcohol, and then mix it with extra virgin coconut oil.

There’s more. And it’s even better. Recent research says beer helps get us in the mood for you-know-what (by the way, wouldn’t you have liked to go along with the researcher who conducted this study?). Actually, this is logical. Hops help us relax. We needed research to tell us this…even though guys have been using this information for an awfully long time.

Finally – and most wonderful of all – research also shows beer has compounds to reduce symptoms associated with menopause: low libido, hot flashes (women call them “power surges”) and other symptoms. This finding alone should help some microbrewery win a Nobel Prize for Medicine. Or maybe the Nobel Peace Prize.

Who knew beer was so wonderful? Well, actually, we all knew it. But we sure didn’t know how good it is for us. Now we know! Next time we propose a toast, we’ll really mean it.

“Here’s to your health!”
