Beer facts

  • A half pint of beer contains the same amount of alcohol and the same calories as a glass of wine.
  • There are fewer calories in beer than in an equivalent volume of semi-skimmed milk or apple juice.
  • Beer contains no fat and no cholesterol. Beer is also low in sodium. High levels of sodium intake are linked with high blood pressure and increased risk of heart disease and strokes.
  • Beer is a natural product made from malted barley, hops and water. Beer is not made from chemicals and all beer is ‘real’.
  • Just like breakfast cereals, beer is a rich source of B vitamins which are an essential part of a healthy diet.
  • Beer contains dietary fiber which is recommended in the diet because it reduces blood cholesterol and can reduce weight gain. A pint of beer can contain up to 30% of recommended daily fiber intake.
  • Moderate drinking can be good for you. Drinking 2 or 3 units of alcohol per day has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease. This is true of all alcohol not just red wine.
  • Drinking a bottle of beer a day can reduce the risk of kidney stones by up to 40%
  • Hops have been shown to have cancer fighting, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties and can help in the prevention of osteoporosis.
  • The first to brew beer were the ancient Egyptians.
  • Prior to the 1400’s ale was flavored with herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
  • There are around 61,000 pubs in the UK.

Ode to my beer

I think that I shall never hear
A poem lovelier than beer.
The stuff that the corner bar has on tap,
With golden base and snowy cap.
The stuff that I can drink all day
Until my mem’ry melts away.
Poems are made by fools, I fear
But only Anheuser can make a beer.

  1. In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
    The fact that I like to drink beer
    This little song is more to the point
    Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

    I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
    I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
    Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
    This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
    (he likes beer)

    My wife often frowns when were out on the town
    And Im wearing a suit and a tie
    Shes sipping vermouth and she thinks Im uncouth
    When I yell as the waiter goes by

    I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
    I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
    Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
    This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
    (he likes beer)

    Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
    And I went to a place so sublime
    Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
    Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

    I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
    I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
    Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
    Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
    (yes, he likes beer)

    Song by Tom T Hall

  2. I must drink beer.
    Beer is the mind killer.
    Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my beer.
    I will allow it to pass over and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the beer has gone, there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

  7. Now that’s what I’m talking about!! I knew all along that BEER is good for you and makes you laugh and wanna dance. Win-win situation. Happy Thanksgiving Canadians and I’ll tip a few for you today!!!
