The thread for talking about Beer

Fluorescent lighting in warehouses and retailers. They don't bottle beer in infared light. Just because Mexican beers come in clear bottles doesn't make it a good idea. Light below 500nm in wavelength is what causes the isohumulones in beer to break down into molecules that contain sulphur, and chemically resemble the product of scent glands in skunks, hence the term skunky beer. Brown and dark green bottles transmit the least amounts of this light, while light green and clear bottles transmit the most. While Fluorescet light doesn't emit nearly as much UV light as there is in daylight, there are emissions in the ultraviolet spectrum. Visible light also damages beer, it just takes longer for the visible wavelengths of light to affect the isohumulones.

Leinad:
So remember kids, when drinking beer, always turn out the lights. It also helps keep that hot girl from noticing who groped her.

camelpimp:
Hey, I wonder, has anyone here tried brewing their own beer?

(I'm sorry if it was brought up and I missed it. I'm really good at overlooking the obvious.)

I is Grammar:
My brother attempted brewing his own beer, and succeeded in nearly blowing up his kitchen.

SonofZ3:
My father did quite a bit of home brewing for a number of years, which I helped with as much as I could. Eventually our darkroom/brewing room  became the fly tying/origami room, with lots of developing and brewing equipment lying around gathering dust. It was a lot of fun, but if you're any good at it you end up with the list of friends and family that want free beer getting longer and longer and it becoming less and less fun. If you do decide to try it out, the link I posted about 12 posts ago is a good resource.
