<strong>Beer</strong> Guide<br />
Having trouble deciding Here’s a quick overview of the categories of beer.<br />
With this much variety & so many to choose from, there’s a beer for everyone!<br />
Light: Lagers that are light in both body<br />
and color. They tend to be smooth & often have<br />
lower alcohol & caloric contents.<br />
Wheat (Weizen): Malted wheat,<br />
in addition to barley, is used, which provides a<br />
distinctive pale color, creamy texture & a light,<br />
sweet flavor.<br />
Lager: One of the two main styles of beer,<br />
lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast<br />
that ferments slowly at a low temperature to<br />
creates a smoother, mellower beer. Lager beers are<br />
light in color, high in carbonation & tend to be lower<br />
in alcohol. Lagers are best served chilled.<br />
Pilsner: This is the term for the classic<br />
lager originally developed in Czechoslovakia<br />
that is a pale, golden-hued & light.<br />
Pale <strong>Ale</strong>: Gold to copper in color with a<br />
mild, caramel-malt aroma. The flavor will<br />
typically be bitter with caramel, noticeable<br />
fruity esters, and earthy or floral hops.<br />
IPA: Short for India Pale <strong>Ale</strong>, IPAs were<br />
originally brewed in England for export to<br />
India. The large quantities of hops added were<br />
intended as a preservative & to mask potential offflavors<br />
that might develop during the long voyage.<br />
<strong>Ale</strong>: The other main beer style, ales are<br />
brewed with top-fermenting yeast that ferments<br />
more rapidly & at a higher temperature,<br />
resulting in a more aromatic & fruity product.<br />
Compared to lagers, ales have less carbonation &<br />
should be served at a warmer temperature.<br />
Amber / Red: Malty, hoppy beers<br />
with a rich color. They can be ales or lagers &<br />
tend to be fuller bodied.<br />
ESB: Short for Extra Strong Bitter, ESBs are<br />
highly hopped for a more dry & aromatic beer.<br />
Despite “bitter” being in its name, they’re really<br />
not all that bitter.<br />
Brown <strong>Ale</strong>: <strong>Beer</strong> becomes darker<br />
when the barley is kilned for a longer period of<br />
time which also creates richer, deeper flavors.<br />
Dunkel: Dark wheat beers that are<br />
typically unfiltered (cloudy) & reddish-brown in<br />
color. Darker malts add a touch of toasted &<br />
caramel flavors which leads to a more robust flavor<br />
than lighter wheat beers.<br />
Bock: Dark lagers that are generally<br />
stronger with more of a robust malt character<br />
with a dark amber to brown hue.<br />
Porter: Very bitter, very dark, this beer<br />
was developed in England as a “nourishing“<br />
drink for manual laborers such as porters.<br />
Stout: Very dark & usually heavy, with<br />
roasted unmalted barley & (often) caramel malt<br />
or sugar. Stouts were invented by Guinness as a<br />
variation on the traditional porter.<br />
~ Other Classifications ~<br />
Cider: Unlike beer, which is made from<br />
malted barley, cider is produced apples, either<br />
before fermentation (sweet cider) or after<br />
fermentation (hard cider).<br />
Lambic: Unlike conventional beers,<br />
lambics are produced by spontaneous<br />
fermentation & brewed with raw wheat & wild<br />
yeast. For Fruit Lambics, whole fruits are added after<br />
fermentation has started.<br />
Gluten Free: Ranging in flavor & styles,<br />
these beers are made from ingredients that don’t<br />
contain glycoproteins (gluten).<br />
Low—Alcohol: Sometimes called<br />
Non-Alcoholic <strong>Beer</strong>, these beers have low alcohol<br />
content (0.5% or less) & aim to reproduce the taste of<br />
beer without the inebriating effects.<br />
