Antibubbles in Beer from Belgium

[Andersen]

Physicists from Belgium have published a theory that explains the formation and movement of antibubbles.

http://physics.about.com/cs/bubles/g/antibubble.htm : where bubbles are thin surface of fluid in air surrounding a pocket of air, an antibubble is a thin surface of air in fluid surrounding a pocket of fluid. Although first observed and studied almost a century ago, no one until now has been able to determine how they form.

They also observed antibubbles in Flemish Beer, proving that the beer from Belgium is almost, but not quite, the same as dishwater.

Hmmm, I think I need to do a lot of studying on this. Would it be okay if I use German beer?

 

[Andersen]

i suspect that all beers work this way - but its fun to pick on belgium.

Now why would that be?

Is this the reason Guinness (and other nitro beers) have bubbles that go downwards?

Just for the record, Belgian beer is the best in the world!

You mean like "Navigator 10%" ?

Fosters is the drink for me.

Can you get Canadian beer in England? cause you can get some English beers here in Canada, but I've no idea how close they are to what is available there...

Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse for me

After Oregon of course.

Belgian beer IS the best in the word. Trust me.

Just ask Michael Jackson (the beer taster, not the pop-star)

Do they? After a few pints I believe they do

Navigator 10%?
Never heard of it. Sure it's Belgian beer?[?]

This is interesting, I am a infrequent drinker (but do like some Molsen when in Canada), but some of my friends grade their Lagers by the delayed gaseous expulsions the following day?. I have been informed that some lagers/beers have a "heavier than air" following day effect? and can fill the average sized living/bed-room faster than the speed sound? (I take this as you cannot outrun the effects of such an expulsion once consumed!) edit: I have just been informed by a friend that proof of 'Faster-than-sound-effect', is that some odours can be smelt but not heard!

Crude I know, but I was wondering now if anyone has an explination for this, and why some of the "heavy-winds" are more denser and (potent) and if the construct of the bubble's within the Lagers have an inbuilt 'delay-function' whereby they "burst-pop" inside the drinker, instead of in the Glass?

From Holland actually, thought it might be "close enough" ??

 

[Kalimaa23]

Don't get a Belgian started on where Dutch beer comes from...

hmmmm, I am not sure about that one if you name a couple i will do some research into it for you.

O.K. How's about "Will and Grace", (Or need they be a real life couple?) "George and Gracy" or maybe, (What?) "Fred and Wilma"...so on with that resear(urp!)ch! (you'll end up looking like this !)

 

[Andy]

So very very funny! Try naming some Canadian beers and i will do some research into it 2nite.

Done!

If you drink beer with antibubbles in it, do you get an anti-hangover?

Apparently, Yes! but I hear (rumor has it ) it is only in conjuctive use with "Anti-pot"...
