Wesson is actually a monastery with a winery inside, making it the oldest continuously operating winery in the world. Of course, Wiesenblatt is definitely not the oldest wheat beer in the world, because brewing wheat beer was a royal prerogative for a long time. Although it is a monastery, it is a technological pioneer in brewing beer. In 1923, it began to cooperate with the university and began research on beer. This is the reason why it can stand out from many German beers.
Wheat beer usually has a characteristic, that is, the foam is particularly beautiful. Its aroma is mainly clove (cotton) and ripe fruit (banana). The back end of the beer is actually not too sweet. The back end of a good wheat beer should be dry and not greasy when you drink it.
Al Smith, this name is very interesting. Ale + Smtih, the so-called ale is actually a type or title of beer. Alesmith means Ale blacksmith, and the purpose is of course to convey a craftsman spirit. Of course, their wine isn't bad either. It has won various awards many times. The IPA we tried today is the top American West Coast style IPA.
The IPAs we usually talk about these days are American IPAs. The most outstanding features of American IPA are its bitterness and aroma. You can smell the aroma of some tropical fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, etc. (Of course, you still have to trust your sense of smell and don't be influenced by me). For a good IPA, in addition to the explosion of aroma, the bitterness must be eliminated neatly. Don't say that there is no aroma in your mouth, but it is still bitter.
Doesn’t it look amazing? In fact, the founders didn’t have such a great idea at the beginning. They were called Canal Street Brewing CO. at the time. Their original bottle label had a picture honoring the local winemaker with the word founders on it, so people have habitually called it founders until now. I personally like Founders' dark wines better. They have many wild ideas, but at the same time they don't forget the solid foundation.
The biggest feature of stout is this! black! Of course, there are actually several types of dark beer we usually talk about, one of which is stout. A good stout usually gives you the taste of toffee, coffee beans, dark chocolate, and caramel. Can be dry or sweet.
There is a new distillery in the country, made by Dream Brewing Company.
The name pays homage to Marie, Duchess of Burgundy, “a very important person for our region,” the winemaker said. "She gave the urban commoners here a lot of rights and was very supportive of the commercial activities at that time, including brewing." The winery is in the Flanders region of Belgium, where they specialize in the traditional wine of Flanders. payment. Compared with Lambic, Flanders has a more prominent fruity and woody aroma, and is not particularly sour.
Rovi is a Norwegian brewery, but what really makes him famous is the beer he brews for other breweries or brews with others, including this one. This wine has a lot of chocolate, a little vanilla and lactose. They wanted to replicate the chocolate martini in the style of beer.
Although they are both stouts, you can drink something different in this one. This wine is known for its chocolate flavor and less chocolate bitterness. This is one of the characteristics of flavored beer, which can be completely dominated by another flavor while still blending harmoniously with the original beer.
The Schneider brewery is the resurgence of German wheat beer. When we talked about Wesson above, when it came to wheat beer, it was actually the royal privilege for a long time. In the 19th century, the royal family realized that wheat beer could no longer make money, so it transferred the privilege to Schneider. Schneider relied on its exquisite craftsmanship and quality control to gradually take back the wheat beer market from lagers such as Pilsner.
The origin of icebock is a bit mysterious. When a worker in Germany was transporting wine in winter, he was lazy and left a barrel (the other said two barrels) outside overnight because The weather was so cold that the barrels froze, expanded and burst. When everyone found out the next day, as punishment, the offender was asked to drink the remaining wine and found it sweet and delicious. Since then, ice beer was born. This one is made from Schneider TAP6 ice distilled from the same factory.
Ice Bock is very fragrant, with a strong malt aroma, very sweet, and even a little sticky.
American Avenue doesn’t have an amazing story, and neither does this bottle. It’s just a story about an American guy who was fascinated by Belgian beer when he was in Europe, so he pieced together a few things and started brewing after returning home. And this bottle of wine was named Jar No. 7 just because they happened to brew what they call "a farmhouse ale that combines all the wonderful elements" in Jar No. 7.
This is saison beer. In ancient times, Belgian farmers (probably rich farmers) brewed beer in their own farmhouses. Because they usually brewed it in winter and drank it in summer, it was also called seasonal beer, and saison means season in French.
Saison beer is actually eclectic and adapts to local conditions. If there is something local, just throw it in and brew it. Of course, saison also has good standards. Dry, fresh, and able to quench thirst in summer is a good saison.
