"There's a tear in my beer"

How Men Turn Into Women This is alarming & scary stuff!

Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones!

Last month, Montreal University scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.

The theory is that Beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 large drafts of beer within a one (1) hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these men:-

1) Argued over nothing.

2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.

3) Gained weight.

4) Talked excessively without making sense.

5) Became overly emotional

6) Couldn't drive.

7) Failed to think rationally, and

Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary!

I don't think they add hops to dark beers. 

There are four basic ingredients to beer, but only three are essential: malted barley, yeast and water. However, beer made with only these three will be sickly-sweet and dull. Throughout brewing history, brewers have added something extra—usually a plant part of some sort—to give their beer balance and depth.

They've added heather flowers, spruce tips, borage or bog myrtle. In the Middle Ages, brewers flavored their beer with a mixture called "gruit" that combined herbs and spices in recipes that varied from place to place.

But by the 15th century, one vigorous weed crowded out all the others as the fourth ingredient in beer: hops.

I don't think they add hops to dark beers.

Hops are definitely added to all dark beers.
