Tap Beer
Occasionally I get sick from tap beer. No, not "I'm hungover and I drank too much and so now I must puke" sick, but rather "I had a few beers last night and my stomach feels weird and I may puke" sick. Anyone else have this problem/experience? I know that the lines that run from the keg to the tap can get pretty disgusting. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

Re: Tap Beer
what kinda beer? Sometimes if I go somewhere and get something on tap that maybe most people donk drink, I find it to be really flat, like its just old beer, and i'll feel the way you described the next day.

Re: Tap Beer
Does this sickness seem to crop up once every month like clock-work? Sticks around for a week or so, you get cranky and experience cramps, too? Could be time to have that talk with your mommy.

Re: Tap Beer
This generally happens when they don't rinse all the soap out of the glasses.

Re: Tap Beer
I know people who suffer from this as well, but they're all girls.

Re: Tap Beer
Clearly you are not ready to drink beer. Please stick to your Smirnoff Ice and Zima.

Re: Tap Beer
If the bar personel do not clean the pipes on a regular basis then this can happen. Does it happen after you drink at a particular venue?

Always check the front of your bartender's pants before taking a drink of a beer for the first time. |
Re: Tap Beer
When tap lines and faucets are not cleaned fairly regularly, bacteria or yeast can thrive on the sugary beer. I mean "sugary "chemically speaking -- the sweetness is extracted from the malted barley. It is this sugar that the yeast consumes to create alcohol and CO2.
Symptoms of poorly cleaned tap lines can include foamy beer, off-flavors in the beer (possibly not noticeable if served ice-cold in a frozen glass). If a beer tastes sour or metallic, then there is "bonus" fermentation going on. Here in CA, most bars have their lines cleaned regularly by the beer distributor. This is a legal "free" service. Other bars pay their own tap line cleaning service. It is rare that any establishment which pours a lot of beer doesn't get this done frequently and for free. You may occasionally find the tiny restaurant with a small kegerator who doesn't keep their lines clean. I can't speak for your state. Your stomach upset could also coincide with the food served at this establishment. Or perhaps you are getting sick. Or possibly there is something noxious "in the air" at this establishment. There are some beers whose yeast esters can give headaches. These are usually funky belgian brews made with once-wild yeast strains, or other experimental brews. I will assume by "dark beer" you're meaning something mainstream and probably pasteurized so this isn't relevant to your situation. |

I love how most OOT response contain 15 BS replies, then someone comes in and gives a totally thorough post.

Re: Tap Beer
I know a girl that gets a big red splotchy discoloration on her face, neck and chest when drinking tap beer. It doesn't bother her much and only lasts a few hours. Drinking bottles or cans doesn't give her this. I figure whatever her body doesn't like in tap beer may be the same thing making you ill. And it's not soap. We've noticed that she ends up the same way with fresh kegger cups or glassware.

I believe it's a reaction to the beer, mild allergy or something. Don't get it with liquor, only beer and wine. |
Re: Tap Beer
Its not that its tap its that its Miller Lite. Yuck.

Re: Tap Beer
Try getting really drunk before you drink the tap beer.
