> Researchers at the Univ. of Toronto measured the tyramine concentration of tap and bottled beers. Of 98 beers - half tap and half bottled, all of the bottled/canned (including dealcoholized) "beer" had safe concentrations, while 4 of the 98 beer samples that were on tap had dangerous levels. All four were produced by bottom fermentation (lagers) and brewed by a secondary fermentation process. Thus the researchers recommended against all tap beers, just to be safe. You can get the whole study from the same source as my earlier post. I never heard of the other item you asked about.
Oooh, fascinating. I'm dying for a good microbrew on tap. I'm trying to remember what kind of beer I had when I had that horrible attack, but I'm not sure. I typically drink ales and porters.
They aren't bottom fermented, are they?
