As any beer drinker or beer brewing master knows, not all beers are alike, as there are different varieties and classifications. You may have a particular favorite, such as a pilsner or a stout.
Even within the main category, there are still many different varieties. Take ales as an example. You may love good ale but do you know all of the varieties of this brew found all over the world?
The first thing you should know about ales is that the brewing system is different than the one used for lagers, stouts or meads. Ale is brewed using a top fermenting brewer’s yeast and it has a sweet, fruity taste that is full bodied. Hops are then added to the ale mixture to give it a bit of bitterness to counterbalance the sweetness. You wind up with a perfectly balanced ale that still retains its sweetness, yet has an edge to it.
Thanks to the availability of ales on the market, anyone can find a brand or variety of ale that suits their taste palate. Even if you already have a favorite pilsner or stout, an ale may be a refreshing choice for those events when you do not want something quite so heavy.
By opening up your mind and trying new drinks, you may find that you like more varieties than before.
