“…Although papular eruptions could be observed in 2 cases after 10-12 h during the OPT, which indicated late-phase hypersensitivity reactions, most cases presented immediate hypersensitivity reactions, such as erythema and urticaria, which is in line with their history and previous studies [1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. The urticarial and pruritic nature of the lesions, the occurrence within 2 h after the OPT, the previously recurrent episodes, and the positive SPT indicate an IgE-mediated allergic reaction.…”

“…Despite its worldwide consumption, allergic reactions to beer have rarely been reported, especially those via an IgE-mediated pathway [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,18]. The real prevalence of IgE-mediated allergic reaction to beer in the general population is unknown.…”

“…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.…”

Background: Rare case reports of allergic reactions to beer have been published, but the nature of the eliciting substances in beer ingredients is often unknown. Objective: It was the aim of this study to identify sensitization patterns against various beer ingredients in Chinese individuals with beer allergy. Methods: Twenty-seven Chinese individuals with a clear-cut history of beer allergy were prescreened to answer a specific questionnaire related to the history and symptoms of beer allergy. Twenty individuals underwent allergy diagnostics with different food allergens and extracts of beer ingredients using the skin prick test (SPT) and the open oral provocation test (OPT) with beer. Results: Fifteen patients (75%) showed positive reactions to one or more beer ingredients. Of these, 9 individuals, reactive to sorghum and/or sorghum malt also showed positive reactions to other ingredients. Seventeen individuals showed variable symptoms after the OPT. Cutaneous erythema and urticaria were the most common symptoms and usually persisted for over 2 h. There were no significant differences in SPT reactivity to beer ingredients between male and female individuals. Single patients reacted to barley, hops or yeast. Conclusions: Sensitization to sorghum and/or sorghum malt was the most common finding in Chinese individuals with beer allergy.

Beer is consumed worldwide and is a universally popular beverage. This is due to its sensory, nutritional, and medicinal properties. Surveys have shown that light to moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages (including beer) with relatively low alcohol contents can provide various favorable impacts on humans' health, including nutritional benefits, anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic effects, reduction of cardiovascular disease (cardioprotective effect), hypolipidemic effect, immune system stimulation, anti-osteoporosis effect, and reducing risk of dementia. On the contrary, consumption of these beverages in excessive amounts results in some heath disorders, such as allergy induction, increase in the plasma concentration of uric acid, mutation and cancer induction, increase in the risk of dementia, obesity, and some social misbehaviors. Health-related aspects of beer (both positive and negative impacts) have been comprehensively reviewed in this article.
