Beer is Good for You!
Salutations,
Two recent news items show that beer is actually good for us in ways that we never fully understood. The first item gives yeast all the credit:
Potential in yeast for selecting Lou Gehrig's disease drugsResearchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are developing a novel approach to screen for drugs to combat neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, using yeast cells.

What's good for the body is good for the soul eh? A look at how healthy the micro brewing business is in the state of Montana, here in the United States of America…
INTRODUCING MICROBREW MONTANAMontana Brewers, Taprooms Prosper in Local Markets, Drawing Tourists
By Bill Schneider, 3-25-08
“For the big national brewers, sales have been declining for years as the health conscious leave the customer base, but the reverse has been true with microbreweries in Montana. "The microbrewing industry is doing quite well in Montana," boasts Sam Hoffmann, president of the Montana State Brewers Association (MSBA) and owner of Red Lodge Ales. "All the breweries started up in the last ten years are well established or going through expansions. I'm pretty sure most of us are seeing double-digit growth. I sure am."”
Cheers!
