Beer is good!!

Let's talk about Beer:

A beer after playing a game of football, a long run, or a strenuous round of golf can be good for the body, scientists say.

In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than water. Prof Manuel Garzon, of Granada University, also claimed the bubbles in beer help to quench the thirst and that its carbohydrate content can help to replace lost calories.

I sure like these piece of news!

I heard if you go for this Singapore Beer Festival, you will get to experience the Chimay Grand Reserve - that is considered by many to be the equivalent of a Chateau Petrus wine in the world of beer. That is to say, even beers have Grand Reserves.

There are also the New Zealand's Harry's Brew and Peru's Cristal, which looks remarkably like the champagne in terms of clarity and colour.

Fortunately, beer experts prefer not to swirl and mouth-swish that pretentious wine drinkers seem so passionate about. Real beer drinker look for balance in the flavour and quality of beer.

Scott Kerkmans, the CEO of beer - of the Four Points hotels by the Sheraton Group, said that best beer is one served cold and in good company. " The perfect brew is one that is part of a great memory, an excellent drink that accompanies a spectacular moment".

( Sometimes, when I reflect back on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed - then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver'.) - From the book Deep Thought by Jack Hande
