Speaking of Beer

Folks have been sending in beer-related links like crazy lately, so I thought I’d round some up.

First up, Kristen gave me the heads up on an MIT study that suggests that knowing the ingredients actually changes how you taste beer. It’s fascinating stuff for any number reasons, but mostly for the question of when do MIT students actually have any time to do the drinking. The link is here, but you may have to sign up with the New York Times to read the whole article.

Next, Mad Marv hooked me up with an extensive list of the carb and caloric values for many, many beers. Interesting fact: Total carbs (a.k.a. “body”) for Guinness: 9.9 grams. For Budweiser: 10.6 grams. Combine this information with the MIT study above, and maybe you’ll stop thinking Guinness is so dang intense. It isn’t.

Finally, Brian has good news for Thomas from Flagstaff’s dog. Congratulations pooch, you now have your own beer!
