What kind of beer are you drinking? I find many of the craft ales give way worse hangovers than regular lagers.
- ch4s3 6y agoThis could be a sensitivity or allergy to hop oils which will be present in quite high amounts in currently popular craft styles like NEIPAs. Old school macro lagers don’t have a lot of hops and use German hops which are lower in those oils.
- ginko 6y agoI think it's more due to the funky high-temperature fermentation of the top-fermenting ale yeasts used. This will create more fusel alcohols than a clean bottom fermentation.
- ch4s3 6y agoWell managed ale fermentation shouldn’t produce much fusel alcohol which is a byproduct of yeast stress. Some of the DDH 8% IPAs place make now and try to turn around too fast will have some detectable fusels. There are also clean (which means low water production) ale yeasts. As a minor nit all yeasts ferment in the whole column of liquid. Ale yeasts do often form a thick Krause though.
- wincy 6y agoI remember finding this out years ago by drinking Natural Light many years ago. I went to nurse my hangover the next day and could barely lift a glass of water.
