I seem to have stumbled across a rather interesting "allergic" reaction to something in commercial beer. I have always had shocking acne from when I was a teenager, never really shock it as I hit my mid twenties, then I started AG brewing...
Since then I have had times where I have had a few commercial beers, either while out for a meal or occasionally grabbing a 6pack of something on the way home when I had realised I had failed to prestock the fridge...
There seems to be a direct link between when I drink commercial beer and when my acne flares up again, and I know it isn't a volume of beer in general issue as I can drink large amounts of HB and have near perfect skin, but after having one pint and one schooner with lunch yesterday I have suddenly flared up again....
So, as a community of beer drinkers, has anyone else found something similar? Or am I simply a freak of nature?
