It’s weird that there’s a whole culture around all these craft beers that seems interesting to me but every time I drink anything labeled beer or ale or whatever it is, I feel hot and am basically overcome with a berserker rage (I don’t know how else to explain it, I get really agitated and feel like I’m in flight or fight and want to fight, and it’s like my brain is on fire) within minutes of drinking any sort of beer. The next day I’ll often have a sort of tremor for hours in the morning and minor neurological issues where I have a hard time lifting a glass of water to drink and sober up.
Ciders and liquors don’t cause this issue. I tried a gluten free beer at the insistence of coworkers and a similar thing happened. It just makes me hulk out.
Anyone have any idea why? I figure I’ve got to be allergic to something but I don’t really have any idea what that something might be.
If it's because of the hops, you will probably have less of a reaction if you drink a sour beer, which typically have a lot less hops. You could give that a try as a partition test. You might be able to find a Lambic or Gose at the supermarket, they're reasonably commonplace.
The Gruit style contains no hops at all, but it's uncommon.
