A new study finds the frothy beverage can improve memory.
A researcher at Oregon State Universtity points to a compound found in hops, one of the main ingredients in beer, improved cognitive function in a group of mice.
The mice were given large doses of xanthohumol, a flavinoid found in hops.
Flavonoids are compounds found in plants that often give them their color.
Then the mice were run through a special maze to determine whether they showed signs of improved spacial memory and cognitive flexibility."

The problem is, in the study it did not work on older mice (who probably needed it the most) and the dosage was the equivalent of drinking 5636 bottles of beer each day. Even if we put nipples on the bottles, it would take quite the prodigeous infant to drink that many each day.
