Brains & Beer

April 23, 2015 By Jay Brooks

There was an interesting article this March on the Huffington Post by a neuroscience Ph.D. student at Northwestern University, with a BA in Behavioral Biology from Johns Hopkins University, Lisa Qu, entitled Why Brain Science and Beer Go Hand-In-Hand. In it, she observes that in her field of study, which she describes as olfaction, beer and neuroscience “can be tightly intertwined.” It’s something we all know, but it’s great to see that science is taking it more seriously, and that it’s being talked about in mainstream media, too.

    Well, the title brings to mind Michael Jackson’s recounting of a tale told in turn in Bickerdyke’s book on beer (1800’s). An English justice, Maule, was known to enjoy porter. When pressed to explain his weakness the justice said it was to bring his intellect down to the level of the rest of the bench.

    Hi Jay,
    Thanks for the post! I do believe that science and the craft of beer are converging in an exciting way.

    Great site!
