I've tried to take my beer tasting to the next level, and explore more than just light beer. I've been dabbling in lagers lately. Still haven't decided whether I like golden, amber, or dark the best. But I've been enjoying the taste of all of them.. something about how it's conditioned at low temperatures must just be good for making a taste I like.
Beer tasting is great fun. There are so many different varieties from all over the world.
Yeah, I started with the pale lagers, since they're the most widely consumed and commercially available. There's tons of brands to work through. I've tried the Pilsner Urquell, the Miller, the Stell Artois, and the Beck's Brahma. They've all been at least decent. Haven't gotten to Tsingtao, Singha, Kirin, Carling, or some others. I have to work my way up. But I'm learning a lot about the tastes.
It's always good to learn! Have you tried any of the craft ales yet?
I live in New York, so I actually stopped by the Shmaltz Brewing Company a few weeks ago and tried some. I've enjoyed everything; I'm not too picky. I even liked their HE'BREW beers... I tried it just because the name was hilarious, but it made sense that it's won awards. I get why they were ranked as "Top 100 brewers in the world" by RateBeer.com.
I need to check them out. I come from Scotland originally, where beer drinking is practically a religion in some circles!
Beer in England
Beer in England has been brewed for hundreds of years. As a beer brewing country, England is known for its top fermented cask beer (also called real ale) which finishes maturing in the cellar of the pub rather than at the brewery and is served with only natural carbonation.
English beer styles include bitter, mild, brown ale and old ale. Stout, porter and India Pale Ale were also originally brewed in London. Lager style beer has increased considerably in popularity since the mid 20th century
my previous letters when I was talking about taking a 'break'. What I meant was I am taking a break from being told what to do. ... It's cool when you look at someone and don't know whether they are at work or play since it's all the same to them. The things I've been doing for work lately have been so much fun, because it's not like work to me anymore. I've been even more 'hands on' in my management and the business side
