Researchers took about nine months to come up with an ideal recipe that achieves the optimal count of live probiotics in the beer. “The general health benefits associated with consuming food and beverages with probiotic strains have driven demand dramatically,” said Liu Shao Quan, Associate Professor at NUS. I am confident that the probiotic gut-friendly beer will be well-received by beer drinkers, as they can now enjoy their beers and be healthy,” he said.
