Healthy Beer

August 21, 2008

A beer with all the benefits of green tea?

Maybe.

I stopped by a great restaurant today called Cafe Mao. It was a neat Asian-fusion inspired spot that seemed like a cross between fast food casual and modern café.

On the menu they advertised a new beer called Iki. After reading the description I just had to try it.


According to a Japanese recipe, it is brewed with green tea and the Yuzu fruit. It is supposedly very high in antioxidants. Iki is Japanese for life.

It tasted very good. It was light, but with a fruity accent.

So what about this healthy beer? Overall, I personally feel alcohol in moderation is a healthy habit. If you can add some more disease fighting antioxidants to the mix, why not?

Sure, curling up with a cup of green tea is comforting, but cheers to partying a little healthier too. I’d definitely have it again.

Oh my dinner was Yellow Vegetable Curry. It was amazing!
