A brewer in Dallas has created a beer that promises to be better for you because it is filled with vitamins, according to a Local 6 News report.
Stampede beer is enhanced with B vitamin, folic acid and other essential vitamins, according to creator Lawrence Schwartz.
"Stampede is the first Vitamin-enhanced beer," Schwartz said.
Schwartz said the federal government told him that he cannot claim the beer is good for drinkers and can't list vitamins on the labels because it would be an implied health claim.
However, that's how the beer maker is setting his beer from the rest of the brands, according to the report.
Schwartz said Stampede tastes just like regular beer but with a kick.
