Recently, a new beer has been created for all of you desiring a beer with less of the "hangover" effects in the morning. This new type of beer, often referred to as "vitamin beer" is "enhanced" or packed with vitamins such as A,B,D and E, as well as folic acid. However, the creator of the beer, Larry Schwartz, has run into a slight road block in terms of listing these "key" ingredients as the governmental agencies have informed him that by placing the vitamins on the labels it would be making a statement that the vitamin beer was actually good for a person.



In all actuality, however, most beers do contain vitamins such as B and niacin in healthy doses. The vitamin B usually comes from the yeast used to ferment the beer. So what is the big deal about Stampede Beer Co.'s new "innovation" as they refer to the type of beer overseas? It has to do with their supposed infusion of vitamin B in the beer. This extra boost of vitamin B is intended to assist individuals with reducing the risk of developing a nasty hangover. Vitamin B is oftentimes depleted after consuming alcohol in an evening which can lead to certain symptoms during a hangover such as grogginess and sluggishness.

In regards to the nutritional benefits of beer overall, it has only been in recent times where beer has suddenly been deemed as unhealthy mostly due to such groups as the "prohibitionists" from early 20th century and other anti-drinking groups. However, before these groups, beer was actually considered a nutritious and pure beverage by civilizations thousands of years in the past due to the already-vitamin enhanced beverage in which no known pathogen can survive leading to a clean, or "pure", drink that has been enjoyed for millenniums.
