Lots of good news for beer drinkers this week, enabling them to justify a couple of extra pints as we head on into another sizzling summer here in Europe. Aussie beer giant ‘Fosters’ have come up with an excellent way to use up their leftovers AND help save the planet. The world’s first ‘Beer Battery’ will not only produce electricity, but also clean water from their brewery waste water. After the innovation is patented it is hoped that the waste-recycling venture could be used across a number of food, beverage and manufacturing industries. Also some great news for beer lovers with sneezing problems, beer, specifically Japans ‘Sapporo’ beer, may help alleviate allergies. After researchers gave 20 study participants Sapporo beer, 60% reported less sneezing, and 55% reported fewer runny noses. Now even though it was a very small study, what better excuse do you need? More beer news as a Brazilian court orders a brewery to pay almost £30,000 in compensation to an alcoholic beer taster. Although a dream job for most of the Aussie males I know, 'Brewery Ambev' was sued by the man who claimed the company did not provide health measures that would have stopped him developing a drink problem. The unidentified employee downed an average of 3.2 pints a day while at work.
