Odd side effects of certain beers (besides the obvious)

[BrewBandit]

Just wondered if anyone has suffered any odd side effects of certain beers?

In the 80s, as an apprentice in Plymouth, when Plymouth was totally dominated by Courage , I discovered that I couldn't drink Courage Best without getting a nose bleed? Guaranteed, standing there drinking usually the second pint, nose would just start bleeding! Non Courage pubs were so few and far between at the time, I ended up switching to lager!

I did experiment and did prove it was only Courage Best?

first of all welcome!

that sounds like it belongs in an episode of the x-files.


I have to say certain Belgian ales do lead to some surreal and slightly distrubing dreams. So I don't drink those near bedtime. :shock:

The bad head in morning seems to be dependent on beer type rather than how much drunk.

My father calls Shipstones "the liquid laxative" due to the obvious effects it had on him way back when.

Couldn't even drink a pint of Worthington's without getting a massive headache (it was the 80s, real ale was hard to find, most pubs and clubs stocked crap keg beer). Only Worthington's ever did this - used to play for a pub team so visiting lost of different places, but would only get the headache at the Worthington ones.

And 6X was the world's greatest laxative :lol:

Funnily enough, I was in Morrisons yesterday and nostalgically bought a bottle of Double Maxim, being a fan of brown ales. Oh dear, now that taste hasn't changed at all since the 70s, kind of nice, but deeply unpleasant at the same time. Half way through the bottle the gag reflex was definitely kicking in...

Adnams bitter does not sit well for me. Gives me heartburn or something similar. Feel sick after a few pints.

The first time I had Krini,the japanese lager, on tap back in the early 2000s caused me and 3 friends to have the most disturbing dreams.

I used to be like that with 1664. Could have half a pint and nothing else and still have a raging headache in the morning!

Any sort of Guinness and I think I feel like I'm digesting an anvil. This includes their 13 hop lager - more fizzy crap they've factory produced...

I made a stout using stale wine yeast, whenever I had a bottle I found myself running to the toilet more often than usual...

Stella Artois.....now there's a laxative.....works for me!

My nephew drinks mostly lagers and is fine with Carling, Grolsch, Corona and Becks but if he drinks Stella he goes blotchy red and very hot, some sort of allergic reaction to something in there!

dry hopping with citra makes me red blotchy on my cheekbones and neck for an hour or so after I have stopped supping it,does me no lasting damage and don't feel ill just a tad warm.doesnt stop me from using it as a dry hop though....love it

I have discovered since recently starting to drink bottled beer the gout I used to suffer years ago has returned, I thought it was a coincidence so had a couple of weekends just drinking wine and no problem, to say I am gutted would be an understatement.

Yep...! That's what happens to me too! Weird or what..? And it doesn't make any difference if it's the British brewed one or genuine Belgian. Never had a problem with any other Belgian, German or French beer. - (I always try to avoid British brewed lagers - even it they have got Belgian names). :-?

I have a food intolerence to sweetcorn/corn/maize (all the same thing) which is found in some beers including Stella. Some of the symptoms I get are IBS (wind, laxative, stomach aches), headaches (what I thought was a hangover for most of my life I now know was that so even the worst normal hangover is nothing in comparison, you're all just wimps if you complain about them), nose bleeds and general aches and pains. Corn is also in dextrose, brewing sugar and many, many other things. Corn allergy is also massively under diagnosed because its very common to get a false negative on allergy testing.

John bulls londond porter gives me the worst wind EVER, to the point I think my innards have blown up like ballons lol. Some commercial lagers will give me horrendous leg pains in the morning/

If I drink Stella I have a splitting headache the next day that lasts all day long. I don't drink it anymore. Holstein Pils gives me asthma like symptoms and is the only beer to do this to me.

When I was in my late teens a pub I went to alot always had flowers IPA @ £1.40 a pint, it took me a year to work out that even 1 pint would give me a serious headache the next day nothing else ever did.
