Chelsee H. This tastes slightly watery for an IPA? Still very hoppy but almost in a facade sort of way. Like a NA beer. This is 2. Nancy N. Matthew C. Propose Edit Propose Duplicate. The eight B vitamins thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, B6. A quick search online unearths large volumes written about beer as a rich source of these vital nutrients for people, as well as other nutrients, including nonessential amino acids and some minerals.
While no longer recommended due to the negative effects of alcohol on fetal development, doctors used to prescribe Guinness to pregnant women for its high vitamin B content. For example, studies have shown providing extra biotin might benefit some horses. Therefore, if providing B vitamins and other nutrients such as yeast and soluble fiber are the main reasons for giving your horse a beer, make sure you choose one that is unfiltered and unpasteurized.
Brewers add yeasts to beer to ferment sugars released from grains, typically barley, resulting in alcohol development. There are two main types of yeast used in brewing those used for ales and those used for lagers, and the strains used for brewing ales are probably the most appropriate for horses.
Manufacturers often include Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains in equine pre- and probiotic supplements. Research on some strains has shown their ability to help stabilize the equine hindgut environment. Therefore, the yeast found in beer might have gastrointestinal health benefits. Because beer has its foundation in grains such as barley, these convey a flavor that horses often find attractive.

Most beers come in under kcals. For some perspective, a cup of rolled oats provides almost twice as many kcals as a ounce dark beer. As to getting drunk, horses have large amounts of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme in their livers to process the by-products of microbial fermentation and therefore are surprisingly capable of metabolizing the alcohol present in beer.
