Headaches after drinking some craft or homebrew beer have not been an issue for me in ages. I was told by several people that they would not drink draft beer in a bar because it gave them headaches. And I found that often it did the same to me. Leave the bar after a few with lunch and by the time I would get home I would have a deep in the back of the head headache.
This disappeared when I started homebrewing my own beer and eventually started kegging it. Not an issue. Ever. Drink 1 or 3 or more. No headaches. Good to go.
Yesterday myself and a friend attended a Hard Cider tap takeover at a local micro-brewery. I had 6 4oz sample glasses of various flavors of craft cider brewed locally. About a pint and a half and most of them were 8% abv. Before I even got home that long ago rear of the head headache started. Once I got home I waited to see if it would go away on its own and finally took a couple of aspirins to eliminate it. And after a half an hour it did.
I was told once that it was the Co2 in the beer which caused the headaches. But there is Co2 in my own homebrew minus any of those effects. So
I was wondering what others thought about Headaches and why none from Homebrewed beer (even bar craft draft) yet the Hard Cider brought them on.
Maybe just a coincidence but I think not.
