FUNCTIONAL BEER
A good name for a rock band? Sure. But it's lost its primary function, fcol.

What is 'oestrogen'- Irish estrogen?

“...because the Czech Republic is number one in the world for beer consumption,” Karel Kosar, managing director of the brewing research institute, told Cee-FoodIndustry.com.
Unfortunately with all the DUI related accidents we wind up with many cancelled Czechs.

"Czech Republic’s Research Institute for Brewing and Malting"
I had to do a double-take on that line. My poor beerless mind could have *sworn* it said "Mating"... Hmmm... It still makes sense.

Estrogen-laced beer- the thought makes me soooo hoppy!

Hmmm... As far as that goes, I thought making women approachable was one of the primary functions of beer.

Yeah, but do you want to be the guy who says, "Hey honey, how about going to the local tavern for a Menopause Beer?
I'd rather be sleeping in Thailand.

Maybe that's what that handbag rugby player was drinking when he started crying.
adding estrogen to beer....so instead of a beer gut, guys would get beer-boobs? I guess some have them already....sigh.

So that's where those came from!
Posted by: ScottMGS | June 02, 2006 at 04:33 PM
Scott - nice twizzlers, bro!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 02, 2006 at 04:58 PM
doesn't estrogen come in a pill?
why not add something useful to beer, like THC maybe
Posted by: TC | June 02, 2006 at 05:21 PM
Annie: I have more than one?!?

What's "fcol" stand for?
"Scientists have known for some time that hops used to make beer naturally contain phytoestrogen, a form of the oestrogen hormone found in plants."
Uh-oh. We guys have been fooled. Time to switch to the Whiskey Olympics.

Yes! Excellent news for female beer-drinkers everywhere!
*goes online to order Czech beer*

Alex - for crying out loud! As mentioned earlier, 'fcol' = for crying out loud!
:)
btw - there's no crying in blogging.

Hey, I'm at the point I could use some of that! Why do the Eastern Europeans keep all the real geniuses?

They've taken something that is supposed to be bad for you and given it "medicinal" properties - AND they're selling more beer. These guys are marketing geniuses. Check out this article: http://www.menopauseexpert.com/estrogenbeer.html
