The diagnosis of herpes (cold sores) is easily made based on the visual appearance of the lesions, and the best approach is to see a doctor at the first sign of a blister. If there is concern that the rash may not be herpes, a swab of blister fluid may be collected for viral culture or polymerase chain reaction test.
Barrel-aged beers are typically part of big release events at your favorite craft beer destinations and, with a few exceptions, arenât going to be found every day. When you see a local brewery or craft beer bar holding a barrel-aged release, make it a point to be part of it.
All beers are made as ales or lagers; ale and lager are the two main branches (classifications) of the beer family tree and are closely related branches at that. Ales are the older, distinguished, traditional brews of the world, predating lagers by thousands of years, whereas lagers are a relatively modern creation, less than 200 years old.
