5 Reasons You Should Switch To Brewed Beer

People tend to think of a glass of red wine as being healthy, but much less often beer. Beer in moderation has been proven to have many health benefits. That might be a bit of a ‘fall out of your chair’ moment for some people, others may be skeptical of this claim. Sure, you probably have beer to thank for helping you meet your girlfriend, spurring some of your greatest stories, and bringing out your worst dance moves. But it turns out there are tons of other awesome, scientifically proven reasons to love a good brew.

# Intrinsic Rewards

Brewing beer has its own intrinsic value. There is something people find inherently rewarding the creative process. Its not just any beer, its your beer that you designed and created with your own two hands. In a sense, the ability to do something new, unusual, challenging and rewarding is the basis for all hobbies including this one.

# Limited Time Needed

Brewing is a great hobby for busy people, as it really does not take that much work to brew a batch of beer. Extract brewing consumes perhaps a few hours of time spread out over several weeks, and even all grain brewing adds only a few hours of additional work. You can adjust the amount of time as needed to match your schedule.

# Quality over Quantity

Home brewed beer is hand crafted, which means the home brewer can use ingredients and techniques that are commercially infeasible for the big breweries. In home brewing, all malt full bodied beer is the standard, and cheap additives are the exception.

# Imagination Unleashed

Brewing beer opens up a world of possibilities. Home brewers can experiment with ingredients, styles and techniques spanning the entire world. The possibilities are limited only by the brewer’s imagination.

# Reduced Hangovers

Home brewed beer contains a large quantity of yeast with Vitamin B. Vitamin B reduces the effects of a hangover naturally. Commercial beers are filtered and pasteurized, both of which strip the vitamin B from the beer and lead to hangovers.
