Beer contains brain-boosting vitamin B6, research finds

Research published in a respected journal has found that beer contains substantial levels of vitamin B6, with a single serving providing around 15% of daily requirements. The study by Prof Michael Rychlik found that a litre of beer contains between 0.3mg and 1mg of B6, with traditional German bock beer containing the highest amounts due to its higher alcohol content. However, nutritionists from the British Nutrition Foundation caution that beer should not be seen as a key source of nutrients.
