<p>Beer has been around for <a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-beer-archaeologist-17016372/?all">thousands of years</a>. And though it&#8217;s one of the <a href="http://www.kirinholdings.co.jp/english/news/2014/0108_01.html">most popular beverages in the world</a>, it&#8217;s also commonly misunderstood.</p>
<p>Even regular drinkers frequently cite myths about how beer can get skunked or how many calories dark beers contain.</p>
<p>We talked to Sheri Jewhurst and Xavier Jirau, respectively the &#8220;dictator&#8221; and scientific adviser for Brooklyn homebrew club <a href="http://www.brewminaries.com/about/">The Brewminaries</a>, to get to the truth about beer.</p>
<p>How many of these facts did you already know?</p>
