Healthy beer?

Healthy beer?

We have tried to make libations a guilt-free pleasure for years, but the fact remains: Beer is just a bottle of empty calories.

Luckily, HoneyMoon Brewing, in Santa Fe, N.M., is trying to provide a solution. A healthy beer alternative?

HoneyMoon is working on perfecting a beer made from kombucha, which is a fermented tea thought by some to have health benefits. The beer will be a low-sugar and gluten-free option with an alcohol content of 5 to 6 percent. It is designed to be an innovative alcoholic beverage that will cater to the palates of both craft-beer drinkers and health-conscious consumers. Other brewers have experimented with kombucha as well, but the trend hasn’t spread much so far.

HoneyMoon recently initiated a Kickstarter campaign to fund additional research and marketing. The Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is conducting research for the company, is where the first atomic bomb was built.

Guess that’s the place to go to get “bombed.”
