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.

2,300-Year-Old Qin Beer Survives in Sealed Bronze Bottle, Revealing Ancient Brewing

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.

Schlitz Closes Its Historic Chapter as Pabst Halts Production

Pabst Brewing Co. is placing Schlitz Premium on hiatus due to rising storage and shipping costs, ending 177 years of production. A final batch will be brewed by Wisconsin Brewing Co. using the 1948 Schlitz recipe, and other retro brands like Blatz and Old Milwaukee may become harder to find as Pabst reshapes its portfolio, marking the end of an era for a beer long tied to Milwaukee’s heritage.

Final Schlitz Batch Marks 177-Year Legacy as Milwaukee Classic Exits

Schlitz, the Milwaukee-born beer that once topped global markets, is being discontinued after 177 years. A final 80-barrel batch will be brewed May 23 at Wisconsin Brewing Company in Verona, using an 80-year-old recipe to recreate Schlitz in its heyday, with the batch expected to reach fans June 27 at a commemorative event. Pre-orders open May 23. The brand’s decline followed production missteps and Budweiser’s rise, with ownership moving from Schlitz to Stroh in 1992, then to Pabst in 1999, which is winding it down.

Beer’s Vitamin B6 Claim Scrutinized: Tiny Nutrient, Not a Health Boost

A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found beer contains measurable vitamin B6, but the amounts are modest and do not justify health-boosting claims; typical servings provide only a fraction to a minority of daily B6 needs, and there’s no evidence of brain benefits. Foods like potatoes, legumes, and fortified cereals supply B6 safely and more reliably. When accounting for alcohol’s well-established risks (liver disease, cancer) and methodological issues in observational data, any potential benefits are small at best. Media framing and marketing can mislead, underscoring that moderation or avoidance remains the safer public health stance.

Bock beer tops vitamin B6 content, study finds

A German study tested 65 beers for vitamin B6 and found bock beers highest, followed by lagers, dark lagers, wheat beers, and rice beers. Nonalcoholic versions matched alcoholic ones, with one NA lager delivering about 59% of the US daily value for B6. While B6 supports heart health and mood, most people should get nutrients from diet rather than supplements, and alcohol carries other health risks.

Pint-Sized Vitamin Boost: Beer Could Help Meet Daily B6

A German study of 65 beers shows substantial vitamin B6 content varies by type, with bock beers highest, followed by lagers and wheat beers, and some non-alcoholic lagers even higher than their alcoholic counterparts. An average lager provides about 20% of the daily B6, while one non-alcoholic lager reached roughly 59%. While beer can contribute to B6 intake, experts emphasize it should not be treated as a primary nutrient source and overall diet remains the main source of vitamins; people should aim for a balanced diet to meet B6 recommendations (1.2–1.4 mg daily for most adults).

CO2 Crunch Threatens the British Pint Amid Iran War and Trump-Era Trade Deal

Britain faces potential CO2 shortages that could affect beer and other sectors as the Iran conflict drives energy costs and a Trump-era UK-US trade deal undermined domestic bioethanol plants; the government has restarted the Ensus facility to restore CO2 supply and is planning contingency measures, with industry groups saying there’s no immediate beer shortage but warnings about ripple effects for meat processing if shortages deepen.

170-Year-Old Shipwreck Beers Reveal 19th-Century Brewing Secrets

Two beers recovered from a 170-year-old shipwreck off the Åland Islands were chemically analyzed. One resembled a light lager, the other a hoppier ale; both had low alcohol content (~2.8–3.2%), high sodium from seawater, and acidic pH. Despite long underwater exposure and oxidation of sulfur compounds, enough original ingredients remained to infer how 19th-century brewers produced beer, suggesting a simpler, less refined brewing process. One bottle cracked during recovery, but divers reportedly tasted beer inside.
