There may be some truth in this. Whenever my grandfather had a cold he always made sure to drink at least one shot of good bourbon every night.

My grandfather's remedy was a shot of Irish Whiskey. I swear by it.

However, the research comes with a catch. The amount of humulone in beer is so small that a person would have to drink 30 cans, each consisting of 12 ounces, in order to get its protective effect
That sounds like a challenge, if I've ever heard one.
