Researchers point to contaminated water after ‘forever chemicals’ found in all but one of 23 sampled beers
All but one of 23 beers sampled for toxic Pfas “forever chemicals” contained the compounds, new research finds, raising safety questions about one of the world’s most popular beverages.
The researchers checked craft beer from multiple states, major domestic brands, and several international labels.
When possible, they compared the measurements to Pfas levels in the county water supply where each was bottled, revealing a “strong correlation” that suggests contaminated water is driving most of the problem. The levels were often above some drinking water limits for Pfas.
Wait, I thought this article was about American beer…
That was a better joke 30 years ago. 40 years ago, it was hilarious.
Fine. I’ll grant there are some good craft beers. Too much emphasis on IPAs, but once you find some that meet your taste, we do have some good ones. Yeungling Black & Tans are pretty good, and I wouldn’t even call them craft.
Yeungling started in 1829 when there was only 24 States. Supposedly the oldest brewery in the U.S.
Believe it or not, you don’t have to be American or live in America to drink American beer
