EdinburghNews: Once celebrated as the ideal accompaniment to human liver and Italian wine by cruel villain Hannibal Lecter, fava beans have now been chosen by a Scottish brewer to make a beer that’s kinder to the environment.

Named Tundra, the India Pale Ale brewed by Edinburgh-based Barney’s Beer contains 40 per cent whole fava beans – most commonly grown as a food for salmon, poultry and pigs, and 60 per cent malted barley. It is believed to be gluten-free.

  1. Cannot help being skeptical because promotions use the terms environmentally friendly, gluten free, and sustainable. Usually those terms are used in desperation because whatever they’re trying to sell really sucks.

  2. If the L-Dopa survives the brewing process it could make for some interesting hang overs vis a vie very vibrant dreams.

    Also, excessive L-Dopa can lead to decreased inhibition to risky behavior. Maybe just the thing to bring along for a date at the lake!
