Q: What is the healthiest beer?

Km: Beer, at least in modest amounts can be good for you (as can its non-alcoholic counterpart). In addition to the "general" benefits of moderate alcohol consumption (i.e., clot prevention, cleaner arteries, and stress reduction), beer has also been shown help battle cancer, boost metabolism, and fight viruses. How? Its all in the hops, well, the polyphenols they contain at least! Additionally, research as also shown that consuming 12oz of beer a day decreases fibrinogen (a clotting factor) and increases albumin (important for protein metabolism).

So, which type of beer contains the most hops? In a 2007 study, IPAs were the clear winner, with 80x the hops of  a standard mass-market lager. The article suggests some beers you can try, or one of Big Boss's (such as the High Roller American-style IPA) at the run tomorrow!
