Alcohol suppresses REM sleep in the first half of the night and triggers a rebound in the second, causing vivid dreams, micro-awakenings, and fragmented rest. What the science says.
Non-conventional yeasts that inhabit fruit skins, wooden barrels, and the air of cellars are ceasing to be a curiosity to become the most powerful tool for beer innovation in the 21st century.
A draft beer in summer feels like relief. But the body keeps count in a different way. Beer activates a precise physiological mechanism that makes you lose more water than you consume. It’s not a myth, it’s hormones. The culprit…
The history of science is filled with characters who worked in the shadows, far from the academic spotlight, but whose contributions ended up transforming entire disciplines. William Sealy Gosset is one such case.
The organoleptic perception of beer constitutes a complex neurophysiological process that is significantly altered by hypobaric conditions, such as those experienced during commercial flights or in high mountain regions.
These are two chemical reactions responsible for much of the magic that occurs in the browning of bread, the color of grilled meat, the appearance of beer, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, or the deep flavor of caramelized onion.
This study, published in Foods, represents the first systematic analysis of umami peptides present in lager beer and their multidimensional effects on the sensory properties of the beer body.
The idea that beer cleans the kidneys is a myth rooted in many cultures, especially in countries with a brewing tradition.
Acetaldehyde is one of the most relevant chemical compounds in beer production, both for its impact on the sensory profile and for its role as an indicator of fermentation quality.
From ingredient selection to final fermentation, chemistry is essential to understanding how flavors and aromas develop, allowing brewers to adjust the process for specific results.
To identify S. chiloensis as a new species, scientists used an integrative taxonomy approach, combining analysis of genomic sequences, reproductive isolation studies, and phenotypic analyses.
Moderate consumption of beer can have beneficial effects on women’s health at different stages of their lives, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, and the prevention of osteoporosis or Alzheimer’s.
