Random Beer Thoughts

This is a tired hands beer.

No idea what’s in it (not my picture) but oh my

The **** did they do to the original beer they were supposed to make?

This couldn't possibly have been done on purpose. Right?

Activated charcoal isn't something that breweries just have laying around, so probably not an accident?

Don't knock it til you try it man. I would like to try more activated charcoal beers.

I know they use activated charcoal to filter out impurities in vodka, but is there any actual benefit to using it in beer aside from "HEY LOOK AT OUR WEIRD LOOKING BEER!"

It's a hipster version of the Jim Koch eating yeast trick, or some ****

Activated charcoal can actually cause constipation. Also banned as a food additive in NY.

But you get a straw with that POP don't you?

I could use some activated charcoal at the moment.
This traffic is close to causing a code brown.

While I agree with the whole activated charcoal in your beer is stupid, that is how almost every brewery (that isn't building water from an RO system) is filtering their brewing water...

Activated charcoal pills are great to keep stomach acid down during long lambic sessions. Srs

The first time in the history of man this particular arrangement of words has been put together in this order.

 

[reverseapachemaster1]

Wait putting activated charcoal in beer will minimize the effect of alcohol?

Just saw a woman load a case of Pliny the Elder into her car outside my house in Seattle. Thought about going outside for about half a second and was like “NO. Don’t be that guy.”

Genuinely curious as to who "that guy" is in the context of your story?

One of the things mentioned in there is what had me curious about whether this would work: activated charcoal adsorbs different chemicals with different efficiencies. So how much of an effect it has (in a beer or as a drunkenness preventer or whatever) is going to be pretty variable depending on what else is going on. It's not just adsorbing "off flavors" or whatever. It could also cause other weird problems because chemicals will happily desorb when they're heated. So, say you put this in a cold (compared to body temps) beer and it picks up a bunch of weird-ass ****, but then desorbs a bunch of it once it's in your small intestine, that sure seems like it could cause some problems.

I also think the experiment in that article was mostly just placebo, how drunk you feel is highly psychological. But who knows? Maybe it really can make a difference.

It's no more out there than Jim Koch eating yeast to stay sober, lol.
