poured myself a beutifull glass of Left Hand Milk Stout last night. Was better than i could have imagined. In reading the bottle I found an ingredients list....contains lactose.
I have what I describe as a medium lactose intolerance.
Ice cream will make me sick as a dog but I am ok if butter is used in cooking.
Yogurt and hard cheeses contain very little lactose because the bacterias feed on it. I was wondering if the same was true in beers. Is the lactose converted by the yeast into something "harmless"?
I did take a dairy pill with the milk stout just in case.
