The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here’s just some of what’s been happening while you were drinking your way through a long holiday weekend.

Threes Brewing CEO Spurs Outrage in Vax Mandate Opposition

On February 14 Josh Stylman, the co-founder and CEO of Brooklyn’s popular Threes Brewing, took to twitter to call vaccine mandates a “crime against humanity” adding that “If you are not speaking out against them, you are a conspirator. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Yours just happens to be unscientific, immoral, and evil.”

So yeah, he doesn’t like the vaccine mandates, but some Threes Brewing fans do and the social media backlash was immediate.

In an interview with Patch Stylman explained “that he is vaccinated against COVID-19 but has a long held disdain for a mandate, which he says doesn’t take natural immunity, adverse vaccine effects or personal choice into account.”

He also noted that he “tweeted his opinion from a personal account and said Threes Brewing has always complied with New York City’s mandate that bars and restaurants check vaccine status of incoming customers.”

Study Finds Hangover Cures Don’t Work

British scientists who studied almost two dozen trials of hangover cure products have found none of them have any solid proof that they work according to the Drinks Business.

The study, which was published in the journal Addiction cited in HealthDay, found that there was very little evidence that ‘hangover cures’ worked and that the only certain way of avoiding the effects of a hangover was to either moderate alcohol intake or abstain completely.

As part of the review, Kings College researchers reviewed 21 controlled randomized trials of clove extract, red ginseng, Korean pear juice, prickly pear, artichoke extract and other alleged cures and found that “while some of the studies showed improvements in hangover symptoms, the quality of the evidence was low.”

Dr. Emmert Roberts, author and clinical research fellow at King’s College London said: “Our study has found that evidence on these hangover remedies is of very low quality and there is a need to provide more rigorous assessment. For now, the surest way of preventing hangover symptoms is to abstain from alcohol or drink in moderation.”
