Brewer Creates First 'Vitamin' Beer

http://images.ibsys.com/2006/0211/6942778_240X180.jpg
A brewer in Dallas has created a beer that promises to be better for you because it is filled with vitamins, according to a Local 6 News report.

Stampede beer is enhanced with B vitamin, folic acid and other essential vitamins, according to creator Lawrence Schwartz.

"Stampede is the first Vitamin-enhanced beer," Schwartz said.

Schwartz said the federal government told him that he cannot claim the beer is good for drinkers and can't list vitamins on the labels because it would be an implied health claim.

However, that's how the beer maker is setting his beer from the rest of the brands, according to the report.

Schwartz said Stampede tastes just like regular beer but with a kick.


That's right. Vitamin enhanced beer. Would anyone try it? Hell It's gotta taste better than Natural Ice or the Beast.

poll coming....

I'll try any beer once. I even tried Budweiser Select. I wish I hadn't, but I did.

i suppose id try it if it was nice. and cheap. but isnt it bad for you to have too many vitamins? and I like to drink about 10 pints at a time which is bad enough without overdosing on vitamins too.

Yeah, I thought it was filthy rat piss too. I probably shouldn't have given it a shot, but you never know.

I might try it. To be honest, I don't drink beer because I want to be healthy...

Although I would be tempted to try this (http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/aug/17beer.htm).

If the price is right, I'll drink it...

But I'll stick to Yuengling when not in the mood to experiment

Drinking a beer or two ever now and again isn't going to hurt you. What'll hurt you is if you sit on the recliner guzzling Milwaukees Best every night watching reality TV.

Moderation is key.

That scenario sounds so sad, drinking the worst beer watching the worst television.

I notice it says (orig. from Philly) under you name. My soph. roommate in college got me to try it the first time. He was from Schnekesville (sp?) outside Allentown.

Wasn't this tried already? Or something similar? B-to-the-E or some such abomination--Budweiser (shit-slurpee) with caffeine and other energy additives. Like a Red Bull Beer. If that wasn't a bad idea, I have no taste left.

Woo-Hoo! Finally a beer I can be proud to tell Mom about.

Odds are I'd drink it once and go back to Moosehead.

Exactly what I was thinking. I drink a lot at a sitting, and I don't want to have to worry about OD'ing on some crazy vitamin.

Not for me, I'll pass
