Beer: Ancient, Space, Fried … And Troublesome

I thought perhaps the folks here might enjoy this C&EN Newscripts column from a few weeks ago:

Re: Beer: Ancient, Space, Fried … And Troublesome

Thanks for the link, Jyllian. That's an interesting hypothesis about Streptomyces produced tetracycline in beer.

It would be quite an experience drinking a brew while watching the earth from a space station window.  However, I'd make mine a low carbonated beer. I wouldn't want to burp in space.

Re: Beer: Ancient, Space, Fried … And Troublesome

No worries on the low carbonated beer Kent.  To (mis)quote a tagline from a (bad) movie - "In space, no one can hear you burp".

Just a quick question regarding carbonation, has anyone else noticed that Guiness and other beer with nitrogen bubbles produce less of an aching head the following morning?  I understand that there is still carbon dioxide in Guiness, but I was wondering if the nitrogen has any effect.  I am sure it is more to do with unfermented sugars in mass-produced beers.

And thanks for the list, this is a great resource!
