BEER

-

Beer was so popular in Egypt that it had its own goddess: Tjenenet. Young, old, rich and poor – beer was central to the diet of most ancient Egyptians. It’s thought that their beer was thick and nutritious, with the poor surviving on a beer and bread diet.

While our amber ale is more associated with overindulg­ence, you can cite a couple of health benefits when you grab ( just one) coldie a day. A 2016 review of evidence-based research found that low-to-moderate beer consumptio­n “reduces the risk of cardiovasc­ular disease” and “is associated with a reduced risk of developing neurodegen­erative disease”.
