As most people know, drinking alcohol leads to depletion of Vitamin B. Well, here comes a beer enhanced with vitamins that supposedly not only increases your nutrient intake but also helps to ease hangovers.

Fred Matt, one of the brewers, says Stampede Plus is aimed at active, healthy consumers. However, the company is somewhat silent on what exactly is in the vitamin beer, aside from letting you know that it’s made from “pure, mountain spring water, the choicest Germans hops, and malted barley grown in America”. If you are curious, feel free to visit their web site; just beware that loud music blares out… I ended up waking my fiancee up!

Fred Matt has hinted that vitamin B might be one of the key ingredients in several interviews.

“Essentially when you drink your alcohol, you are depleting vitamin B and what we’re doing is putting vitamin B into the beer, and so you wake up the next morning and you feel a lot better,” he said.

However, most beers, depending on the brewing process, often contain any number of vitamins and minerals, like folate and vitamin C. Additionally, beer tends to be a good source of vitamin B due to it’s high content of brewers yeast. The reason the final product lacks vitamin B is due to the fact that during it’s production, the filtering process as well as the alcohol reduces the activation of these vitamins.

Perhaps then home brew will be rich in B vitamins! I have actually always wanted to brew my own beer and perhaps will do so now. Anyone want to help?
