That's because hardly any breweries use such chemicals these days. Really.

No sweat.

Strictly to add on to what Brother Bryson said, I submit an archived 1983 column of The Straight Dope, and alternative-paper ask-me-anything column:

I think you both misread his question. He wanted to know how ad agencies got beer to look so good for the cameras. You know, makeup and stuff. I don't know about beer, but I know some food products get artificially enhanced for the cameras. It wouldn't surprise me if the same was done for beer.

I realized that about ten minutes after posting. I can picture this food photo person with a whole damned compartmented suitcase with special chemicals to keep asparagus erect, egg whites peaked, cake frosting gleaming...

But I can't picture me giving a s*it. How about we EAT the asparagus!

Thanx to all!

Yup, I just need to make it look good for cameras...

Now there's a great combination: asparagus and beer. Not only do you have to pee a lot, it smells bad, too.
