Japanese Beer Maker Creating a Influenza Anti-body

Ok, I'd place this in the Wierd file.

Kirin Brewery Co. Ltd., Japan's second-largest brewer, said on Monday that its U.S. subsidiary has developed an antibody that may be effective against bird flu, sending its share price higher.

A company spokesman said the subsidiary, Gemini Science Inc., is planning to develop a drug through a partnership, but added that it would take time to commercialize any such product.

Wonder if they'll be packaging it with a beer chaser?
