the Independent (a British newspaper) some years ago.

Not sure you dug far enough.

It wasn't the ATP aspect I thought might not be obvious outside the UK,
it was the 80p aspect.

Though I should amend it to "some" adenosine; I suspect it's a _long_
time since 80p would get you a pint of _anything_ from a barman.

The desire to remain private and/or anonymous used to be a core British value,
but in recent times it has been treated with suspicion - an unfortunate by-
product of the widespread desire for fame. - Chris Middleton,

A little Google gets the process rolling...

That's not how you make beer of course :-)

That suggests the biochemist is aware that a beer would
be rich in ATP, as it's a marker of some sort of "activity"
(fermentation???).

You haven't come even close to the clever bit.

It's actually a very clever joke - the 80 p. pun only scratched the surface.

I realise humour is usually spoilt by explanation, but please explain

I was going to wait another 24 hours or so...

To a biochemist it goes further if one looks into the role that ATP
plays in living cells:

It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of
intracellular energy transfer.

That is the clever bit that turns the pun into a fine joke ... ATP as
currency. 80 p. worth in this case.

ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate

When you posted that sig, knowing that engineers and scientists always
have their inside humour I thought it best to know more about ATP.

Wikipedia is always a good source for such.
