Brewers need to be educators...it's been especially true of my time brewing in Asia. Where "craft" beer is understood less by the average drinker. The second most popular article on my site these days is "Describe Beer Like A Brewer"...I've linked to the post in the comments. It's my "cheaters" guide to giving people the ability to be descriptive about beer quickly and easily. For example: ➡ Ever had been which tasted "skunky" or sulphury? 👉 Sulphur or skunky notes indicate your beer is light struck and a bad sign. It’s a reaction between light, riboflavin in the beer and hop alpha acids. Giving the beer a "skunky" flavor. Have you ever noticed noticed most beers are packaged in brown bottles? Brown bottles guard against your beer becoming light-struck compared to green and clear bottles. 💡 However when it comes to beer sensory people should be free to describe how they perceive it themselves. There are no right or wrong answers... Everyone is unique, two people can taste the same beer and get a different experience from it. Yes an IPA can be "hoppy", but the aroma sensed my be slightly different from both people. Likewise the perceived bitterness could be sensed differently. Like spicy for someone is mild to someone else. Beer should be enjoyed (in moderation) and nobody should be able to tell you how to appreciate it. Take a sip, taste it and decide for yourself. Hopefully the guide linked in the comments will help with your beer vocabulary.

Let's talk about balance in beers. Have you ever ordered an IPA in a taproom with 70-80 IBUs and realized that the bitterness of the beer is actually not that present? Well this is thanks to the balance between the sweetness of the malt and the bitterness of the hops. Let's see: IBU's (international bitterness units) is the international measure to establish bitterness in beer. This is established by each brewer when the formulation and brewing of the beer is carried out. Analysis can later be done in the laboratory for accurate numbers. This amount of IBUs counteracts the amount of sweetness provided by the malt. Now, why is balance even in the most malty beers so important? Simple: Drinkability. Drinkability is what all of us, brewers, should aspire. We need to aspire that all our creations are in a high range of drinkability, this will help us make our product appealing to the majority of beer lovers. I am aware that not all of us like the same types of beer, and that sometimes a beer with 80 IBUS can be seen as very bitter, but I invite you to try it, and analyze if there is a balance between bitterness and caramel flavors. , chocolate, bread, cookies and malt sweetness. I'll be honest, I love IPAs, that feeling of freshness and citrus, fruity, spicy aromas that the hops give is really pleasant to my senses, however, I like that the IPA that I am enjoying at my favorite bar is very well balanced, so in That way, I can order one or two more after reach the bottom of my glass.

One of the biggest misconceptions about beer is that beer tastes better when it is served from a bottle. Beer is actually much fresher and thus better-tasting when served from a keg! So why might someone prefer bottled beer over beer from a keg? Aside from personal preference, the cleanliness of the draft lines is a key factor that will affect the quality of the beer. Keeping your lines clean ensures that every pour delivers the true, fresh taste of the beer.

Brewing Fact: Different beer styles shine at different serving temperatures. 📘 As we dive deeper into our #BrewingFacts journey, it's time to dispel the misconception that all beers should be served ice cold. The truth is, temperature plays a crucial role in allowing a beer's flavours and aromas to fully express themselves. While the general serving range is 6°C to 10°C, the "perfect" temperature varies based on the beer style's characteristics. Light, crisp lagers shine brightest when frosty cold, which enhances their clean, refreshing qualities. But serve that same chilled temp to a big, boozy barrel-aged stout? You'll be missing out on a world of rich malt complexities and nuanced barrel notes. Heartier ales like stouts, porters and even IPAs can actually benefit from being served at slightly warmer temperatures around 10°C to 12°C. The added thermal energy allows the intricate flavours to emerge and malt/hop nuances to blossom. So next time you pour a The Mannheim Craft Beverage Company beer, take a moment to consider the serving temperature. A few degrees up or down can be the difference between an underwhelming sip and a mind-blowing flavor experience. Stay tuned as we continue to unravel the truth behind common beer misconceptions and share misunderstood #BrewingFacts. The path to becoming a beer expert is paved with knowledge!

It's finally happened. Loose on the Internet just reviewed one of those beers that the brewer recommends drinking from the can (https://lnkd.in/euCKhWuA). The brewer in this case, or can, anyway -- we're pretty sure LOTI didn't consume an entire case of the stuff -- is the Alchemist Brewery in Stowe, Vt (https://alchemistbeer.com/). LOTI's beer of the week this week is Heady Topper, an American double IPA considered to be one of the best of that style in the world and frequently found on beer drinkers' bucket lists, according to Small Batch Glassware (https://lnkd.in/eregM7kM) As explained on the can's label, it's better to not use a glass: "The act of pouring it in a glass smells nice, but it releases the essential hop aromas that we have work so hard to retain." In other words, they went to all that trouble to keep the odors of the hops in the beer, and they sure as hell don't want anyone to actually smell them. Isn't aroma a pretty important part of any tasting experience? Don't wine tasters stick their noses right in the glass and take a big sniff? Would you want to eat in a restaurant that smelled like a beer can?

The secret behind the ultimate taste 🍺 The way a beer tastes, is greatly influenced by the freshness of the beer. Keeping a beer fresh, is one of the biggest challenges for. There are many factors involved, all of which can have an impact. Oxygen - Our friend for breathing, but beer's worst enemy! Oxygen can turn your beer sour by allowing bacteria to transform alcohol into acetic acid. Breweries combat this by using CO₂ to flush out oxygen during packaging and employing innovative systems like one-way kegs and bag-in-tank to keep oxygen at bay. Light - Ever noticed how some beers come in green or brown bottles? That's because UV light can react with hops, changing the taste of your beer. The best solution? Keep beer out of the light altogether with cans, KeyKegs, and tank beer systems, ensuring it never loses that fresh flavor. Temperature - Just like Goldilocks, beer needs the temperature to be just right. Too hot or too cold, and the beer can age prematurely or develop off-flavors. The goal is to keep beer at a constant, cool temperature from the brewery to your fridge, which is a challenge but crucial for that perfect sip.

🍺 Keep it fresh, folks! 🍺 How can you get the freshest beer possible, if it's in a can or bottle? When you're grabbing beer in a retail environment, always check those dates. You might see 'PKD' for the packaged date or 'BBD', which stands for best before date. Many breweries put 9-12 months on beers as standard, so take that number of months away from any BBD date. Note: it's not compulsory to print date codes. Sometimes, they are blurred or adjusted for styles that can keep longer like higher-alcohol beers, stouts and anything with acidity. Another tip is to rotate your fridge stock to enjoy the oldest ones first. This goes for anyone stocking retail cool rooms and your home fridge. This way, you're more likely to drink beer in optimal conditions as the brewery intended.

Have you ever wondered about the key differences between ginger beer and ginger ale? I recently learned that ginger beer has a much stronger flavor, and the reason lies in the brewing process. While ginger ale is often made with carbonated water flavored with ginger syrup, a true ginger beer is brewed just like a regular beer, using real ginger. This results in a zesty, bold flavor profile that sets it apart from the milder taste of ginger ale. For instance, Bundaberg Ginger Beer undergoes a traditional brewing process over 3 days with real ginger, resulting in that distinctive flavor profile. If you haven't already, I highly recommend doing a side-by-side taste test of the two. It's a pretty cool experience! #GingerBeer #GingerAle #BrewingProcess #TasteTest
