Apple and alcohol mixed

San Mig apple

San Miguel Corporation did it again. They always find a way to improve their product and this time, they came up with a beer with a fruit flavor.

I happened to get a taste and feel of this stuff when me and my wife were buying some groceries for her birthday. The idea was instead of us going out on a bar to celebrate her birthday, we simply would just stay at home and get drunk.

I was already thinking of what beer to drink. I only have two favorites, it’s either the ever popular san mig light, or the just as popular red horse. So when I saw this san mig apple in bottle out on the shelf of the grocery store. I immediately grab one and bought it. Its cheap at P31.00 (pesos) each. By the way I also bought 2 san mig light in can, just in case I didn’t like the taste….

I thought you’d never ask. The taste is good. It’s almost like drinking an pple soda with a tinge of alcohol. I said a tinge because according to the label, it only has 3% alcohol. 

Part of a Healthy Diet

Drinking one beer per day may be good for your health because it has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Why? Some experts suggest these reasons:

• The folate found in beer may help to reduce homocysteine in the blood and lower homocysteine levels mean a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Lab studies have found constituents in beer that lower triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in mice.
• Drinking one beer per day reduces blood clotting so some studies found that cardiovascular patients who drank one beer per day also lived longer.
