Beer Questions & Answers

The UNOB Beer Doctor

Hi! I am Dr. Manjunath Nagaraj. It is difficult for most of you to pronounce my name, even when you are sober, so you can just call me as the Beer Doctor.

I finished my med school in a reputed college in Bangalore, India and for my post graduation I cleared my USMLE. However, I decided to take a residency in cardiology in the European Union. So right now I am in Europe doing my residency, speaking a European language and tasting good beer.

As far as I can think (which I do sometimes), my life is pretty good, as I get to hang out in some of the cool places in the world and get to complete one of the top residencies in field of medicine.

My future plan? Well, I picture myself going to the hospital, located somewhere near a beach, finishing my work and just chilling at the beach. The beach could be Caribbean or in Goa or New Zealand, depending upon how life will take me.

I am here on the UNOB team to answer all your doubts regarding beer and your health, so you can shoot any questions at me and I will try to answer them.
