I KNEW IT!
On a day when bad news abounds, there IS a glimmer of hope.
Beer flavonoid may boost brain power!
As a diabetic I have to be careful, BUT who didn’t know that beer boosted brain power anyways?
There IS a caveat in the article: “While hops are the only dietary source of the rare compound, it would require drinking 2,000 liters of beer— or 5,636 bottles of beer— for a person to get the same effect.
Gonna take some math and scheduling to make this work… Oh wait! Just need more beer.

BEER! It’s not just for breakfast anymore!!
Beer over Wheaties=Breakfast of Champions!!!
Beer over BEER! *BUUUUURRP!*
Yeah, that and some microwaved leftover pizza…
Word.
“Beer is proof that GOD loves us and wants us to be happy.” – Benjamin Franklin
If this is the case why are Corporals not the most intelligent creature on the planet?
Clearly it’s because they aren’t drinking enough!
A true “Mustang” should be able to outdrink the platoon.
Okay, but that does not excuse my brother going through two 6-packs in one hour. And he certainly did not get any smarter afterwards.
Hey Ex, Perhaps you just didn’t recognize the Brain Gain.

Sheesh, what’s the big deal about this libation called “beer”, anyways? It just tastes like bitter crap to me; I’ll drink the contents of a battery of a battery if I’m after that.
You’re not officially old enough to enjoy it yet, Padawan. If you were, I would tell you to pray to Bacchus for your blasphemy of BEER!
/sarc
“…pray to Bacchus for forgiveness of your blasphemy of BEER!”
Can we get an “edit” option someday? Even one that allows us to do so within an hour of posting would be great!!
And the bad thing is; when you puke: you are reminded of Phildo.
Foster’s Lager is imbibable. Guinness Stout (dark) is smooth, mellow, does not bite or grow sour or flat.
Guiness is good with bangers and mash, pizza, polish and fries, and ribs.
Foster’s goes with everything else, including beef bourgignon and cheesecake.
AAAhhh Guinness. Every time I enjoy a mug or three of that fine brew, I have a fork handy so I can enjoy the chunks from the bottom of my mug!!
No way.
Fosters has the “Oil Can”.
12 in a case.
Fosters makes an ale as well (green can, also “oil can” size). On the bitter side, but excellent IMO. Recommended.
Zero; try some of the new craft beers out there. In my opinion they’re better quality.
Well. Even if I can’t consume enough to see maximum benefit, a partial dose sounds worth doing.
What do hops taste like by themselves? Could you add them to a protein shake? Maybe with a beer chaser?
I’m not a brewer by trade, but I know a little about this as it’s tangential to my actual business (I have a small winery focusing on what are known as ‘country wines’ – not grape wines). Hops are one of the traditional ‘bitter herbs’ used for flavoring and stabilizing beer, and as the classification says, they’re very bitter. Usually they’re dried before use, which depending on the drying mechanism used, can mellow or intensify the flavor – but a great deal of the bitterness typically remains.
You could get hold of hops easily enough through any homebrew supply place (including mail order), or some health food stores have it. That said, with this finding, the cynic in me suggests you wait six months to a year – somebody’s bound to start selling hops concentrate, either in pill form or in a suspension that masks or moderates the intensity of the bitter flavor.

5636 beers? No problem, I got all this smart stuff wrapped up. After all these years though, you’d think I’d make Einstein look like Joe Biden.
Waitaminnit!
Is that number of beers required per day? or over a lifetime?
If it’s over a lifetime, been there, done that, got the boost.
If it’s a per day I’ll need to step up my game a bit.
I knew it a long time ago.
One other thing:
The more I drink the smarter I get and the dumber Bernath sounds!
MCPO, I’m convinced that beer is completely unnecessary to make Bernath sound dumber and dumber all the time, methinks he does that all by himself!!
I suspect that’s because Bernath is a whine drinker, rather than beer.
5,636 beers? No sweat. Let’s put this into perspective. The 6 man football team from Guernsey,Wyoming on a road trip to an away game at Rosebud,Montana. “5636 bottles of beer on the wall,5636 bottles of beer. Take one down,pass it around,5635 bottles of beer—“
BEER….It’s so much more than just a breakfast drink!
I’ve already said it many times, and I’ll say it once more right here:
BEER, it’s NOT just for breakfast anymore!!
You should check out the Great NW.
Of course there is always this:
I used to like drinking Beer….Then the Doc said no more and I can’t say I really miss it.
I saw a billboard on old highway 99 that said Drink Canada Dry! I never did, but they had to put on a swing shift to keep up. Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another BEER!
“….all you need is a 10 and a fiver, a car and a key and a sober driver…B-double E- double R-U-N BEER RUN!”
Well shit! The fact that I don’t drink and never have already causes me to receive all kinds of crap from people telling me I have no right to claim the Irish or German halves of my ancestry. My go-to rationalization has always been that I do enough dumb shit sober, I don’t need chemical assistance. Now you’re taking THAT away from me! Dammit, I need a drink…of coke. Or Pepsi.
