Why Beer Can Be Good for You

Looking for a good excuse to tip back a beer? Studies Show Beer Consumption Makes Men Less Likely to Have Heart Attacks
 
A decade's worth of health research shows that regular, moderate beer intake--one to two 12 ounce glasses per day for men and one for women--can be good for you, especially if you're facing some of the most common diseases related to aging. A number of studies are showing that moderate consumption of beer can have heart healthy effects, including making men 30 to 35% less likely to have a heart attack than those who abstain.

Beer, in moderation raises high-density lipoprotein or HDL, known as good cholesterol. It also appears to have a favorable effect on the lining of blood vessels, making them less likely to form a clot or for a clot to rupture and plug an artery, and may help protect against Type 2 diabetes.

Beer Shortage Scare Brings Brewers Together

 

A shortage of a key ingredient in beer has shown that even business competitors can come together over a cold one now and then.

Boston Beer Company -- the maker of the Samuel Adams brand agreed to share 20,000 pounds of its hops with craft brewers throughout the country.

A worldwide shortage of hops has left smaller brewers unable to buy the important perennial flower that adds some of the bitterness and aroma to beer.

Boston Beer founder Jim Koch says the shortage became acute last year when the hops crop came in below average, the third bad season in a row. He says increased beer consumption has also boosted the demand for hops.
