For most of human history, beer was considered a foodstuff -- tangy with hops (whose prenylflavonoids appear to fight cancer) and stress-busting alcohol, and thick with energy-giving malt and B-vitamin-rich yeasts. Today's filtered light beers are nutrition-free. Here are three old-school brews, all of them bottle-conditioned (a dollop of extra yeast is added just before they put the cap on) and tasty.

Smuttynose Wheat Wine Ale
Yes, wine. Although the thick, resinous body is pure ale, its buttery, oaky notes are pure chardonnay.

Lindemans Cuvée René Grand Cru Gueuze Lambic
Fermented at first with the wild yeasts in the air and then again in the bottle, this Belgian classic tastes more like champagne than beer. An acquired taste

Forêt Saison Ale
An organic Belgian made with artesian well water. Mellow, meaty

If you can't find these, there's always Guinness Stout: low in carbs, high in iron and flavor.
