Beer linked to higher heart attack risk in 30-year Swedish study, while overall drinking tied to longer survival

A 30-year prospective study of 973 middle-aged Swedish male automotive workers finds that while higher total alcohol intake is associated with longer time to death and lower all-cause mortality, beer consumption is linked to higher odds of myocardial infarction and an earlier MI event; wine showed no significant association with MI, and no clear link to stroke. The study is observational with self-reported data and cohort-specific factors, so it cannot establish causation. Results should be interpreted cautiously, and larger, more diverse studies are needed.

Diver uncovers 162-year-old Guinness in shipwreck, possibly drinkable

Two divers recovered a 162-year-old bottle of Guinness Extra Stout London from the Mindoro shipwreck off the English Channel (sank 1864). Samples were sent to KU Leuven for study, with researchers noting a potential to recreate the beer if DNA recovery and cork integrity allow. Guinness Archive is coordinating with the divers, and the explorers believe more bottles may remain in the wreck.

What turns you into a mosquito magnet? Festival study uncovers beer, bed-sharing, and skin bacteria as bite clues

A real-world study at the Lowlands Festival recruited 450 volunteers to see why mosquitoes bite some people more. Findings point to beer/alcohol consumption, cannabis use, not showering, sharing a bed, and higher levels of skin Streptococcus bacteria as linked to more bites, while diet and blood type showed no clear effect. Sunscreen appeared protective, and while repellents and protective clothing remain the best defense, the study highlights how everyday lifestyle can influence mosquito attraction—at least for the Anopheles stephensi species studied.

Scottish World Cup Fans Drain Boston’s Beer Supply

Scottish World Cup supporters, the Tartan Army, have flooded Boston bars, draining beer taps and turning the city’s pubs into their busiest in decades as Scotland plays and fans celebrate around World Cup matches. Bar owners say demand has been overwhelming—even a typical major weekend can’t compare—and some venues ran out of kegs and popular brews. Massachusetts lawmakers also extended alcohol service to 3 a.m. through July to accommodate World Cup crowds, as pubs prepare for more high-profile games on June 19 and beyond, a development that could boost football’s profile in the U.S.

Tartan Army drains Boston pubs as World Cup fever hits town

Scottish football fans, the Tartan Army, have been reveling in Boston during the World Cup, filling restaurants and pubs and even marching to Fenway after a 1-0 win over Haiti. Their heavy drinking left bars scrambling: Samuel Adams Boston Lager was sold out at the Boston Taproom with four times the typical four-day holiday volume, prompting an emergency delivery. Hennessy’s Bar reported tripling St. Patrick’s Day sales and also sold out, while other retailers sold out Budweiser and Corona. As Scotland was set to play Morocco in Foxborough, bars hoped supplies would rebound for Friday’s game.

Ancient Yeast from Ötzi Sparks Sourdough and Beer Experiments

Scientists extracted yeast from Ötzi the Iceman and used it to bake a sourdough loaf that rose within 24 hours; they aim to pursue beer brewing with the same yeast, collaborating with experts from Weihenstephan. The cold-loving yeast likely entered the mummy after death, offering new insights into prehistoric life and fermentation.

Bronze Bottle in 2,300-Year-Old Qin Tomb Reveals Ancient Beer

A bronze bottle found in tomb M39 near the Shanjiabao cemetery, about 1.5 km from the Great Wall of Qin, preserved residues of a 2,300-year-old beer. Molecular analysis detected malted grains and yeasts, suggesting a fermented beverage used in funerary rituals; the liquid contained more than 2,400 compounds and was thicker than modern beer, akin to a fermented porridge, offering insights into Qin-era fermentation techniques and cereal use.

Archaeologists excavating Tomb M39 at the Shanjiabao cemetery near the Qin Great Wall found a sealed bronze bottle containing what appears to be beer dating 2,300–2,800 years old; chemical analysis revealed more than 2,400 organic compounds and thousands of yeast cells, suggesting a sophisticated beer recipe using proso millet, wheat or barley, and flavoring ingredients, produced by Qin brewers; the beverage was preserved by a double-layer sealing method, indicating advanced preservation as well as brewing accessible to non-elites.

UK beer scene braces for lean times as independent brewers contract

Britain’s beer scene is shrinking after a boom, with 320 closures and 170 openings last year, leaving about 2,320 brewing companies (down from 2,594 in 2022). Big-brand dominance of pub draught lines, price undercutting, and changing consumer habits are squeezing smaller brewers, though some are diversifying via taprooms and visitor centres. The government is reviewing barriers and offering tax relief, but the overall trend remains a contraction, even as pockets of independence, like in Sheffield and Bristol, persist.

Schlitz ends 177-year run, closing Milwaukee's iconic beer chapter

Schlitz, the Milwaukee icon that helped define American beer, will roll its final barrel on May 23, ending a 177-year run after a long decline blamed on a 1970s cost-cutting formula change and stiff competition. Ownership by Pabst couldn’t revive the brand, and Wisconsin Brewing Company will produce the last batch using the 1948 recipe, with nostalgia fueling the farewell and pre-sales kicking off.
