As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can say with confidence that hemp beer does not contain CBD. Hemp beer is brewed using terpenes, the aromatic compounds found in both hops and cannabis. These terpenes give the beer the distinctive aromas and flavors associated with marijuana, but they do not contain any CBD or THC.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. It is believed to have various health benefits and is often used for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. THC, on the other hand, is the psychoactive compound that gives marijuana its intoxicating effects.
While hemp beer may have the aroma and flavor of marijuana, it does not contain any CBD or THC. This is because the terpenes used in brewing are extracted from the hemp plant, which contains only trace amounts of CBD and THC. These trace amounts are not enough to have any psychoactive effects or provide the health benefits associated with CBD.
I have personally brewed and tasted hemp beer, and while it does have a distinct cannabis aroma, it does not give the same effects as consuming CBD or THC. It is important to note that hemp beer is legal in many countries and does not contain enough THC to cause psychoactive effects or show up on drug tests.
To summarize, hemp beer does not contain CBD. It is brewed using terpenes extracted from the hemp plant, which give it the aroma and flavor of marijuana but do not contain any CBD or THC. Hemp beer is a legal and non-intoxicating alternative for those who enjoy the flavors and aromas of cannabis without the psychoactive effects.
