The sodium borohydride is used to reduce the isoalpha acids after they have been produced by other chemical means and then extracted, so the reducing agent isn't added to the beer, and there should be very little trace of it after the extraction step.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how many brewers use reduced hop extract. Miller and Corona are candidates because those beers are never light struck despite storage in clear glass.<BR/><BR/>The Beer Nut's theory that these brewers want you to see the colour of the beer in the bottle and whet your appetite for it in the glass seems like the most plausible explananation for the use of clear glass.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734969599278020673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-46009690631877819742009-01-09T09:25:00.000+00:002009-01-09T09:25:00.000+00:00Dear lord, is some brewer is not attempting to add...Dear lord, is some brewer is not attempting to add a nasty reducing agent like sodium borohydride in place of investing in brown bottles?Oblivioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184794716327407609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-68008717825807275162009-01-07T17:42:00.000+00:002009-01-07T17:42:00.000+00:00Sadly not.

There are quite a number of beers I would jump at the chance to try on keg or cask to see what they actually taste like.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734969599278020673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-55389516616625338692009-01-07T13:52:00.000+00:002009-01-07T13:52:00.000+00:00>I love organic chemistryUs carbon based life f...>I love organic chemistry<BR/><BR/>Us carbon based life forms all say that.<BR/><BR/>How about Old Speckled Hen?
