Did you know…?
According to researchers, the taste of beer releases a chemical in the brain which makes people want to drink more. Moreover, beer’s taste — without even any effect from alcohol — can trigger the production of dopamine in the brain, according to a study by researchers from Indiana University. But aside from all this egghead talk, beer is simply delicious!
