While experts say it's unlikely that there's such a thing as healthy beer, that hasn't stopped some breweries from trying to market products as natural, fresh, or better for you, with the idea of a healthier beer choice gaining traction in recent years, reports CBS News. People are now trying to understand how to integrate beer into a healthy lifestyle, says Andy Joynt, head brewer at Big Grove Brewery in Iowa City, Iowa.
For Joynt, it's the ingredients in a beer that make it more or less healthy. At Big Grove, ingredients are freshly sourced and immediately used to create a beer that can be on a consumer's table just a couple of hours after it was finished. Since it hasn't traveled or sat in a case somewhere, it's able to maintain components that are important to a good beer. Beer in its natural state is a living thing, and it retains some of its yeast as a healthy component, Joynt says, adding that beer is healthier for consumers when it's brewed local and stays fresh. Most of the beer Big Grove serves is less than 30 days old, which allows it to retain many of its living components. Fresh beer is also ideal for taste, say beer aficionados, according to the report.
