Charlie Bamforth, brewing professor at UC Davis has a nice overview of The Goodness of Beer on CraftBeer.com. The short piece includes that Beer Is Healthier Than Wine and a long list of What We Do Know About Beer and Health.

Interesting article, but is there a “conflict of interest”? A-B is sponsoring his professorship, & the drug companies are always under fire from “watchdogs” for similar studies.

They just want a steady supply of new brewers. Plus, Charlie’s not one to hold his tongue about something he believes in.
