What to know about ale
Ale is top-fermented beer, and it stacks several triggers that make it harder on sensitive people than a plain drink of alcohol. Brewing it from barley means it contains gluten, the warm yeast fermentation raises histamine and tyramine, and the generous hopping that defines pale ales and IPAs pushes salicylates high as well. Alcohol itself also slows histamine breakdown, so if a pint leaves you with a stuffy nose, a flushed face or a next-morning headache, ale is delivering several reasons at once.
Watch for
- Contains gluten because it is brewed from barley, a problem for coeliac and gluten-sensitive drinkers
- High in histamine from yeast fermentation, and alcohol slows how fast you clear histamine, so reactions add up
- High in tyramine, another fermentation by-product tied to headaches and MAOI diets
- High in salicylates from the hops, which the hop-forward ales carry more of
