Very interesting, thanks OP!
Interesting but it is not research. It is more of a review article that looks at the possibility of a causal relationship between asbestos in beer and adenocarcinoma of esophagus.
The key is in the conclusion:- It seems plausible that ingested asbestos fibres particularly, but not solely, from beer consumed before 1980 - could be a significant factor in the epidemic of oesophageal adenocarcinoma that has particularly affected males in selected countries. There is a lot of speculation there but certainly a closer look is warranted.
