Can this beer really make you feel younger?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/11/28/wbeer28.xml&sSheet=/portal/2004/11/28/ixportal.html

It is the news to cheer drinkers everywhere: beer could make you feel healthier and look younger.

The Neuzelle Kloster Brewery, a 400-year-old company in eastern Germany, says that its latest beer is enriched with ingredients that maintain good health and slow down the ageing process.

The drink, labelled on the bottle in a bizarre mixture of English and German as "Anti Ageing Bier", has been developed by adding hot spring mineral water, algae and antioxidants to the traditional ingredients of beer - water, hops, yeast and barley, resulting in an ale that is rich in vitamins and minerals.

The "healthy" ingredients include spirulina, an algae rich in protein, iron and vitamins A and D, which are added to the beer following the fermentation process, together with a concentrated liquid form of antioxidants known as flavonoids which are also found in tea, red wine and some fruits.

2. WHA??!!
Bud is making speedballs now?

That's just fuckin' dumb. I know what I am talking about: I used to bounce in bars. A wide awake drunk is not optimal. Sometimes, it is better for all concerned when said drunk passes out in a puddle of his own piss and vomit.

4. Where can you buy it?
From the article

At £1.75 a bottle, the beer has proved popular with guests at the Hotel Esplanade, a spa hotel in the town of Bad Saarow, south-east of Berlin.

Peter Hoeck, the manager who drinks a bottle of the beer every day, has sold up to 400 bottles a week to guests and past guests, who come back to place their orders.

The hotel also stocks the brewery's "bath beer", which contains concentrated levels of yeast and hops and claims to soften and cleanse the skin when applied externally.

"We are also talking to importers in the United States, Russia and South Korea where we hope to export the beer very soon," he said. "The United Kingdom is the next export destination we will be looking at."
