INGREDIENT OF THE DAY:  Dimethyl Dicarbonate (DMDC)

In today’s show, beer is on the table.  Have a seat and let’s talk about it.  I’ll explore a short history of beer.  Who regulates beer in the US?  What must beer makers disclose on labels?  What are both the expected ingredients in beer and what are some of the hidden ingredients? At the end of the show, we’ll get a brief look at a new product hitting the grocery store shelves.
