This blog is about beer and life.
Get paid to drink beer
I don’t know if the offer is still available, since the original post was put up several weeks ago, but if you drink beer and live in the Seattle area, you could participate in some paid market research.
Male Beer Drinkers Needed – Paid Market Research Study:
Fieldwork Seattle is conducting some paid market research studies with men ages 21-40 that enjoy drinking domestic beer. The research study will take no more than 2 and 1/2 hours to complete. Those who qualify and participate in the study will receive $125 for their time and opinions. Please call 425-822-4862 and reference the “Alcoholic Beverage” study when you call in.
Of course, you and I both know that “domestic beer” is code for Budweiser/Miller/Coors. But, heck, if you want to give me cash for drinking beer I’m not going to complain. Too bad I live on the wrong coast.

Proof that Guinness bubbles go the wrong way
about 5 months ago - No comments
Telegraph: Bubbles in Guinness ‘go down not up’ say scientists Guinness, in the best Irish tradition, does things differently. The bubbles in a freshly poured pint appear to be cascading down the side of the glass – yet the creamy top which is the drink’s trademark remains. Members of the Royal Society of Chemistry set
Pyramid in Seattle
about 6 months ago - 1 comment
I’m in Seattle this week and from the view of my hotel room and hot tub I have a clear view of Safeco Field and Pyramid Brewery. It was a long day of travel from New York, we were tired and hungry, and I was very thirsty. Pyramid offered up their standards along with some
Beer hydrates better after exercise than water
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
I guess I’m out of excuses for not exercising. Researchers in Spain have discovered that beer after a workout re-hydrates the body better than plain water. It’s Better To Drink Beer After Exercise Than Water Professor Manuel Garzon, a member of Granada’s medical faculty, made the finding after tests on 25 students over several months.

What would happen if all the commercials they show during NFL games got mixed together? My current vision is of macro-brewed American light lager and pickup trucks helping old guys get it up. Well, that may be partly true. A new study out of Australia suggests that moderate drinking may reduce the incidence of ED.
Genetics can make you an angry drunk
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
A new study links a high-activity monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene with violent behavior, triggered by alcohol. This genetic sparkplug has already been linked to violent behavior, but alcohol seems to bring out the worst in otherwise not-so-violent people. Alcohol and a polymorphism of the monoamine oxidase A gene predict impulsive violence “People react quite
Heavy drinking damages eyesight

No, this isn’t about that old expression about being “blind drunk” or about “beer goggles”. No, a group of Australian scientists have linked heavy drinking to increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is when sight in the center of the visual field fades, and “heavy drinking” is defined as more than four alcoholic
Engineering a cancer-fighting beer

Resveratrol is getting a lot of press lately. It is the miracle compound which apparently allows the French to enjoy a cuisine loaded with saturated fats and yet avoid heart disease. Its cancer-fighting properties have also been documented. Some researchers at Rice University are trying to genetically engineer some brewing yeast in order to create
Better living through chemistry: fresh(er) beer

Over on ZDnet’s Emerging Tech blog, there’s an article about some scientists in Venezuela who have discovered the chemical compounds that contribute to the “the decline in fresh flavor that occurs as beer ages”. Secrets of a fresh beer So the researchers tried to manipulate this Maillard reaction by adding the drug aminoguanidine and a
Beer goggles explained

It’s an effect most of us have encountered at one time or another. The hour is late, someone new is looking mighty attractive to you, and then when you sober up you wonder “what the hell was I thinking?” We call them “ten to two” girls (or guys). You know, they start looking really good
The beer belly is a myth
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
Way, way back in 2003, researchers surveyed a couple thousand Czechs about their drinking habits and had each undergo a medical evaluation. The Czech Republic regularly comes out on top in the measure of per capita beer consumption. The researchers found no correlation between regular beer drinking and obesity, specifically the “beer belly”. BBC News:
