Stop press ! Beer isn't food.

Blimey the Russians have declared beer isn't a food but is actually alcohol. I hope the Spanish don't find out or else Rioja might not be a food anymore but called alcohol. Whatever next? ;D ;D ;D

Well, I toured a brewery last week  [smiley=beer.gif] and they said that since they are making a food product there are certain health and safety requirements, etc...

..and they make it from grain and hops. Clearly food. :y

Who cares as long as it contains some goodness and does not cause wear and tear on the teeth?

It's a more-or-less acceptable substitute if you can't find proper beer food, I suppose. ;)
