Even the Beer makers are doing it!

I well remember a comment by Dr Gerry Brady about beer drinkers. "Look at them, Ian." he said, pointing towards the inhabitants of a local bar. "What d'you think they are doing? They are acidifying! beer is loaded with acid!" (Gerry is the guy who directed me to benefits ofItalian wines grown in alkaline soil)

Now i find that beer makers are attempting to alter the potential hangover effects of their brews. On this beer appreciation site I read:
"Ingredients: Well-modified pale malt, with generous quantities of roasted malts and/or grain. May have a complex grain bill using virtually any variety of malt. Any type of hops may be used. Alkaline water balances the abundance of acidic roasted grain in the grist. American or English ale yeast."

Yep, it's all happening!
