Context Effects:

Today as I was sitting in a lecture for my Psychology class we went over an interesting topic that sparked my interest right away when the professor explained the concept with beer. The concept I am referring to (for all you Psych majors out there) is Context Effects. In short, it is when, “the ability to recall is improved when in the same context as the initial experience.” -“Psychology” by David G. Myers

Now, being a lecture hall full of college students, it is safe to say 78% of the class was probably not paying attention when the professor introduced this concept. So, to make things more interesting the professor asked the million dollar question to engage everyone immediatly:  “Shall I explain using the concept of drinking and studying?”

Context Effects + Beer:

In many studies it has been shown that there is a link between studying and good exam scores when you are in the same mental state studying for the exam as you are taking the exam. This is because your brain is able to recall information much more efficiently if it is in the same state in which the information was originally learned. Applying it to beer, the professor said how with this concept could be just as effective.

This means, if you are cramming for an exam and just so happen to enjoy a beer or two during, it would be possible to perform better during the exam if you followed the same process. So in other words, enjoy a beer or two before the exam as well! Now, of course, this does not mean you should go to a “rager” on frat row the night before you exam! However if you can master the concept of context effects and how it works, hopefully you can introduce beer as a study buddy versus the tempting devil on your shoulder.

On a side note – notice how much fun class becomes when you apply different concepts and theories to beer?!

Cheers!

]]> Cities all around are packed with trendy bars that are picking up on a new, favored trend by using growlers. For anyone who is not too familiar with growlers – what they are, are large sized, glass bottles (usually covered with the bar’s brand) that can be refilled with beer from the bar of purchase for a price that is slightly cheeper than drinking by the bottle. Yet another selling feature with these growlers is the fact that you can take them home with you! As people slowly begin to adopt the growler into their drinking, many do not realize how awful these bottles really are! One reason why is the fact that it insults the art of brewing beer to its entirety! The reason why all has to do with the chemical reaction after the beer goes into the growler. As many of you know, beer making is a very sensitive process that requires a lot of precision with ingredients, oxygen exposure, and timing to make it come out tasting good and fresh. So, when you take perfectly brewed beer, pour it from a tap into a resealable bottle that can be consumed now and later – it is easy to see how the growler can ruin the beer. By sitting in the bottle too long the taste begins to change with excessive exposure to the elments as well as the quality of the beer which slowly diminishes.

So, as much as I hate to bash all the bars that are trying to adopt this beloved  trend of selling growlers, I can’t help but speak the truth when it comes to anything that insults the taste of a good beer!
