I knew it. Lately I've been drinking dark ales (or bitter ales) with my meals and it settles my stomach. Far less gas (the burping kind) during and afterward. My wife complained that it was just an excuse to drink!

Bitter acids in beer may also improve digestion. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry looked at five types of German and Austrian beer and found that each triggered the release of gastric acid from stomach cells. The more bitter acids a brew contained, the greater the response. Gastric acid is key for both digesting food in the stomach and controlling the growth of dangerous gut bacteria.
