Move over wine, here comes beer

beer fest

Wine snobs look out. I know how much you love to mull over a lovely red, feeling slightly smug about the antioxidants you’re drinking in, all the while turning your nose up at your country bumpkin relative called beer. Well guess what? Beer’s got the last laugh. While you’re all getting drunk on the grape (wine has over 12% alcohol content in a 3.4 oz glass and really who can drink just one?) us more modest beer drinkers (5% alcohol content in a 12 oz serving) don’t need to brag that the folate in beer helps lower the risk of heart disease, reduces blood clots, and it has been shown to improve mental function in women as well as increase bone density. So enjoy the nutritious properties of beer this weekend at the LACABAL beerfest.
