From the university of the extremely obvious. Stiegl Pils is my weapon of choice.

"It's the perfect excuse to take part in Oktoberfest.

For researchers have found that drinking beer can lift your spirits and make you feel good about yourself.

Hordenine, abundant in malted barley - a key ingredient in the alcoholic beverage, activates dopamine receptors in the brain.

This then triggers a surge of the feel-good chemical to the decision-making area of the brain, German scientists claim…"

Hmmmmmmm

I have studied that for years and I also came to the same conclusion...

I heard another study confirmed that beer affects your eyesight as well...

Guess I was way ahead of the curve on this but I failed to wear a lab coat and make my findings official.

In other news, water is wet.

RMD

For once, scientists concur with my own empirical research

Good that someone is digging deep and doing the heavy lifting for the betterment of mankind.

I choose to draw my own conclusions here.

More research will be required.

"In Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq), early evidence of beer is a 3900-year-old Sumerian poem honoring Ninkasi, the patron goddess of brewing, which contains the oldest surviving beer recipe, describing the production of beer from barley via bread.[18] Approximately 5000 years ago, workers in the city of Uruk were paid by their employers in beer.[19]"

No less an authority than Rick on Pawn Stars once said beer is responsible for civilization.

This sweet yet dry beer is made with ingredients found in 2,700-year-old drinking vessels from the tomb of King Midas. Somewhere between wine and mead, Midas will please the chardonnay and beer drinker alike.

My favorite beer tribute.... nsfw

Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey gonna blow there ever lovin' minds!

My wife and I started a long-term study of the difference a yeast strain makes in beer taste. We are conducting this at White Labs, San Diego, epicenter of the craft beer revolution. Best so far: Dortmunder Altbier.
It's hard, dirty work but somebody has to do it. My wife doesn't even drink beer, but she's interested in the microbiology.

White Labs has a tasting room in which they offer beers of the same style made with 2-4 different yeast strains as the only variable. Very interesting! They also give short tours of their facilities. Home brewers, take note.

Yep... Beer makes me happy. And farty.

I just returned from an Evening at Pensacola Bay brewery and the Union Public House for my birthday evening. I had a few 1845 Pils before dinner.
I can attest, beer does indeed make you happy. More so than other alcoholic beverages.
