“…Although beer is produced and consumed all over the world, allergic reactions are rarely reported. Until now, only some case reports of beer allergy have been published [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], describing immediate (type I) hypersensitivity reactions such as pruritus, urticaria, dyspnea, or anaphylaxis after beer consumption. In addition to a true allergy to beer ingredients, other triggers such as food allergens in side dishes including peanuts, seafood, soy, wheat, or spices [12], food additives (coloring dyes) or preservatives (sulfites) [13,14] and alcohol (ethanol and its derivatives from other sources) [4,15,16] may also be responsible for the allergic reaction.…”
