Beer is good medicine... especially for women.

Beer is good for the bones

You can add a daily pint of beer to your health-giving glass of red wine. A new study has found that it's brilliant for increasing bone density and warding off osteoporosis, especially in women.

So you want a one sixpack lady or a two sixpack lady? With good bones of course.

 

[jIMOh]

Six pack has two holes, beer is good for women, women have two holes

coincidence?

Cool! I'm a drug company! Woohoo, send me money for no good reason at all!

Another good reason to continue.

Brewer, my son just started a new brew. He is making a Stout this time.
His last one was a wheat. It turned out really good.
I may be enjoying his new hobby more than he is .
And maybe more than I should, but my conscience hasn't been able to win yet.

Neat. When the hot weather comes try making a sweet stout flavored with vanilla. Nothing wrong with an ice cream beer float...

Heck I learned as a young lad it was good to give the ladies beer. Pfft nothing new here.

If beer is good for my bones, I can now give up my daily calcium pills and take up beer guzzling..yeahhhhh!!!!

Heck do both just to be sure! More calcium is goooder right?

 

[WhoDaresWins]

I guess I'll have to sacrifice my bones for my heart and stick with the red wine(love Pinot Noirs) and Cosmopolitans(cranberry juice). I like a beer once in awhile on a hot day, but I have never cultivated a taste for it. My favorite is an India Pale Ale when I do drink it.

Audrey's rules of libations with food carefully developed over several years of personal taste tests. Only libations with known health benefits thank you very much!:

• Lamb - Spanish Tempranillo or Rioja
• Steak - Cabernet Sauvignon
• Tomato-sauced dish - Sangiovese or Chianti
• Appetizers (cheeses, crackers, paté, cold cuts, roasted veggies, etc.) - A good intense Red Blend from the Pacific NW
• Seafood/Fish/Salmon/Smoked fish - dark malty beer
• Spicy Mexican or Italian food - hoppy bitter beer (India Pale Ale or thereabouts)

Audrey's rules of libations with food ....Audrey

These are almost exactly the same pairing that I tend to favor except I do not care for lamb much and generally drink Spanish reds without food. I generally drink dark beers without food as well; but, I am definitely going to try pairing them with some smoked salmon this weekend since that does sound good.

Oops - I made an error in that last one - it should be "Spicy Mexican or Indian food - hoppy bitter beer (India Pale Ale or thereabouts)"
