MM,
The word you are looking for is "alkaline" rather than "basicity" (which is not a real word).
Also, beer rates as an alkaline substance...Google says so....
Next set of theories?

Somebody needs to get some Litmus paper, sit down someplace where there access to an assortment of Adult beverages and do some serious research.
Please report back soon!

I don't think so. Beer is hyper-acidic. Using 7 as PH balanced with anything above being alkaline and anything below being acidic....beer is 2.5.
Way down there.
Run it through Google again.
"Beer...acid or alkaline"

Dennis,
I was wrong....you are correct that beer is in the acidic range of a PH scale....some beers are rated at a ph of 4.0...

MM,
I was wrong ...."basicity" is a word.....
I will crawl back into my cave in humility
Don't believe everything you think....

Thanks, Ged......I suppose some are higher than others. I have a PH meter so I'll take the burden of proof as mine and give it a test....today.

Just did a pH lab with my Chemistry students. Didn't test any beer, but soda was slightly acidic! They could bring samples in to test, so had quite
a variety. I wouldn't let them test any, "body fluids", though...you'd be surprised at what they'd like to know the pH of!! Saludos, H.

At the "return the loan" end a normal PH will be 6.8
That would support a healthy system. It all actually means something.

Jeezo...I thought I posted this. Too much testing.
Red can Tecate measures 2.4 as well.

 Shari,
I have been well trained (some would say "whipped") to acknowledge when I am wrong....it's not really that difficult as I hardly ever have to do
it....

Have enjoyed many brands of beer. Tecate? Leaves sort-of-a sour taste in my mouth and unsettles my stomach. Weird? I'd call it just a downright nasty
brew. And I have what's called a "caste iron" stomach.

thanks for your time Dennis...at both ends
cypress...this happens when i mix tecate products with Pacifico products...i must say, i prefer the taste of Tecate over all...but love negra modelo
too...
so if the PH is so low....does this mean it is good to use lime?? balances things out?

I like Tecate with Clamato and Lime on a hot deserted beach. It includes multiple food groups and makes for well balanced diet. If you serve me some
Pacifico I will drink that too. Dos Equis dark is good too. I can drink a Corona if it's available. I use lime with just about everything, we have a
mexican lime tree in the back yard and we use the stuff liberally on food and drink. When we are home we lean toward local handcrafted beers when in
Mexico we roll with the flow and drink what's cold and at hand.
To each his own.

No. Not really. The volume differential makes a quarter lime, squeezed into a bottle or glass of beer, negligible.
There are other ways to elevate the alkaline content in the system.....most simple and accesible would be a spoon of baking soda mixed with water.
If one wants to attain the good PH balance in the system, it's nesessary to have the testing tools at hand. It's a method that doesn't stand up with
guess-work.

Yes, don't drink Corona! However, Sol is in a clear bottle and doesn't stink like Corona?
Oh well... Pacifico is muy bueno... XX, too! In fact, it tastes great on tap... Pacifico wasn't available, but XX was for our newly aquired
kegerator!  |
David is on track,,,Corona is pee water, the Coors of Mexico. Pacifico and XX for sure, and if you can find it XX amber.
The subject is a good to ponder, but hey, they put limes on everything, think about it, Tacos, fish, watermelon, Carne Asada... And the list goes on.
