the other day while at the bar show i was introduced to organic beer.... and was told this beer will not give you a hangover...

has anyone tried organic beer? what are your thoughts?

Does that Steinlager Pure stuff count as 'organic' by that definition?

I've found that traditionally-produced beer with no added chemicals does indeed seem to be easier on my system.

i was rather pissed by time i got to the beer stands (mmmm free port) but the lady who was talking about it or man im not sure

said its made from totally organic hops barley etc

pure is made with no aditives and yes its a nice beer... but this stuff wow tasted better

Alcohol is alcohol regardless of whether it is organic or not - it will still give you a hangover if you drink too much of it.....

To much alcohol= hangover.......

Hmm...barley...hops...yeast...water.. all seems fairly organic to me. Don't know of any inorganic substances added to beer......

I had organic steak the other day ??? how can cows not be organic

Did taste mighty fine though. Not done organic beer but I would imagine it hurts just the same next morning.

It's quite nice...haven't drunk enough of it to determine the hangover state or not.

I suspect that some of the preservatives used in large breweries to make cheap mass-market beers are sourced directly from the waste bins at pesticide manufacturers.

I had some Nelson-made organic beer and it was lovely. Didn't have enough to confirm its non-headache properties though. Re: Steinlager, the ordinary stuff gives me a headache on 2 bottles; Pure doesn't.

i highly reccomend if you get the chance try manuka beer OMG its yummy if you like manuka that is

One of the guy's I work with brews his own beer. Its BEAUTIFUL, but he has been doing it for years! He makes this one beer he calls 'Kanuka' its made out of manuka honey - tastes alot like Monteiths Summer Ale.
The Tuatara beers are organic and yummy! As is emmersons, mmmm, I can highly reccommend the Emmersons Bookbinder!
