Schu Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) GOOD beer can and DOES make you sick... my favorite beer does indeed. I think this tends to happen with the high alcohol content ales because they are packed with all the goodies that make them so delicious.I get gout, severe gas, distended stomach and very bad joint pain every time I partake in the frosty brew... that is why I cut back dramatically and feel better for it.

oldtimer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I would guess allergies. The brewer would know if everyone was affected the same way and it seems that is not the case. It obviously makes you sick, but it is a fact that any beer as long as it is not brewed with poisons will never kill you. The same cannot be said for bathtub gin, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey is starting to do a couple of things like this to me, I've been trying to cut back. Unfortunately I tend to self medicate and use it as a pain killer. I have a back that is bad enough that even sleeping hurts it, so it hurts plus I can't even sleep to get relief, I'll wake up feeling worse than when I laid down. I tend to get fed up with this occasionally and will kill a a half bottle of bourbon as an escape. Yeah I'm quite aware that I need to find another alternative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yeah I'm quite aware that I need to find another alternative. Likely to be a few years before Kanetuck makes a safe and effective one available. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Micro brews in KY? That's the problem right there. Are you hinting this is moonshine that can make a person blind, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I would ask the micro brew for the ingredients, if there is milk I am sure it can sour. Making beer is like canning food, you still need to be clean about it. I too would check with them again, and if they don't help call the health inspector.

Paducah Home Theater Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Making beer is like canning food, you still need to be clean about it. I used to want to have my own microbrewery, went out to Colorado multiple times to festivals and picked the brains of the brewmasters. Normal people tend to view them as rock stars of sorts but many of them are burnt out, mainly because over half the job is cleaning. I met guys in popular breweries making $30-35K a year in very expensive areas which is borderline poverty level for where they were. Plus, to do it right with a restaurant I figured I need about $1.5 million to get started. I kind of gave up my dream after that. Apparently I just want to own one and do the business end of things plus get free burritos.

Paducah Home Theater Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I would ask the micro brew for the ingredients, if there is milk I am sure it can sour. "Spicy iced coffee with hints of star anise and black strap molasses". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illicium_verum May have been that right there. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-364-star%20anise.aspx?activeingredientid=364&activeingredientname=star%20anise "Be careful you know what you are taking. The star anise used as medicine is Chinese star anise. Don’t confuse it with Japanese star anise, which is poisonous and should not be taken. Some Chinese star anise tea products have been contaminated with Japanese star anise. You cannot tell the difference between them just by looking. Unless safety can be assured by chemical analysis, star anise tea should not be used." Nice.

Such reactions may induce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea" Grrrrr.... Of course, they may have been trying to use a fancy description and that may not be an ingredient at all. Who on earth especially in Podunkville Kentucky knows what that tastes like though and would know what they're talking about? This is in fact used in beer so I bet they did pepper it with the stuff. http://www.brewingspices.com/Brewing_with_Star_Anise.htm https://byo.com/stories/item/2276-star-anise-stout http://www.marinbrewing.com/platypus-venom Edited March 17, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Like everyone, i grew up on Domestics. Just after Nam, traveling the far east i drank whatever "in country" brew they had. Coming back to the US in the 70s, first bar i saw, Draft Bud Please, second beer, headache Drinking only imported since, zero problems. My guess is chemicals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to steer clear of any beer that is made out of rice. I should have just stuck with a plain Jane IPA the other day but thought I'd try something different.

When I came back from my assignment in the UK... Some friends gave me a Miller, and i threw up. I have only had Imported or Craft beers ever since and never gotten sick again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this, the topical creams they have now are extremely effective. Your liver will thank you as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
