Beer is a delicious and very popular drink. Moderate consumption is even considered healthy and beneficial. It improves, for example, kidney function, thereby preventing the formation of kidney stones, and it also contains important vitamins. It also has other positive effects. Did you know, for example, that the American Chemical Society found that hops in beer contain beneficial compounds that can prevent the development of cancer?
Meat will be tender and juicy
You will surely appreciate the properties of beer in the kitchen as well, especially when cooking meat. Although beer itself does not significantly add to the taste of meat, if you salt it and then leave it overnight in a beer marinade, the difference will be striking. The meat will be softer, more tender and juicier. Try it the next time you prepare meat; you will be pleasantly surprised.
Beer is not only tasty to us humans. Insects or slugs will also happily indulge in it. You can use this if, for example, you are planning a barbecue with friends and don’t want annoying wasps or flies bothering you. Pour a little beer into an empty plastic bottle and place it near where you are dining. Insects will fly in, but they will not be able to get out.
Trap for wasps and slugs
As for slugs, you will catch them best with a can or bowl with a little beer in the bottom. Place these „traps“ in the garden; the smell of beer will attract slugs and your crops will be saved. Beer even has polishing properties. If you have copper pots or other vessels at home, soak them in beer for a while and then polish them. They will shine like new.
Beer is also good for beauty. If you want to treat yourself to a relaxing bath that will remove dead skin cells, brighten and beautify the skin, fill the tub with pleasantly warm water and mix a liter of beer into it. Immerse yourself in this bath for 20–30 minutes. You can also use beer as a hair treatment. Apply a little to dry hair, leave it on for a while and then rinse thoroughly. The hair will be healthier and more radiant.
