Thanks to the genius duo, Alcine Chan (final year student from National University of Singapore) and Associate Professor Liu Shao Quan, we now have a beer that contains a probiotic strain (lactobacillus paracasei L26) which is able to neutralise toxins and viruses as well as enhance our gut health and immunity.

The beer has an alcohol content of 3.5% and contains one billion units of probiotics in every 100 ml, an amount that meets the international recommendations. Don't you agree that this beer is indeed a godsend for those who suffer from lactose intolerance and couldn’t take any dairy based probiotics products?
