  • Here’s Your Guide to Ale Drinking

    Beer is the most loved alcoholic beverage in the world and although Oktoberfest is over, the beer drinking will probably only intensify over the holiday period.

    Here are some useful beer hacks that every beer lover should know,

    1. How to cool a beer quickly. One clever trick is to wet a dish towel or paper towels and wrap the beer in it. Then refrigerate.

  • A Layman’s Guide to Beer

    Other than wine, beer is undoubtedly the most popular alcoholic drink around the world. But there are so many varieties and brands that it can become confusing. Here’s a quick guide to beer to give you a clearer understanding of your favourite drink,

    Pale Ale

    The is the most popular beer style in Australia and according to statistics makes up 92 per cent of craft beer consumption (according to Beer Cartel’s Craft Beer Survey). This is the everyday man’s beer, made by every brewery and as its name suggests, it has a pale look.

    IPA

    A cousin of the pale ale, this style is probably indistinguishable from the India Pale Ales that the British sent across to India centuries ago. This is a style that relies on heavy hopping, so expect a lot of tropical or citrus notes on the nose and high levels on bitterness on the palate. This is another beer that comes in plenty of different iterations, including black IPAs, double IPAs, session IPAs and XPAs.

    Amber ale

    An American original, Amber ale is basically pale ale made with an amber malt. There are varying hops and characteristics in this beer.

    Stout

    A diverse variety but the darkest of all beers. This beer has added ingredients that makes it smoother, sweeter or has an added flavour. Generally consumed in winter or in colder climates. Some varieties include milk stouts, oatmeal stouts, chocolate stouts, oyster stouts and Imperial stout which is a high IBV stout.

    Lager

    Lagers may have developed something of a bad reputation over the years among craft beer drinkers, but it remains a beer with enormous potential for complexity and one that is quite challenging to make. Made using cool fermentation and bottom-fermenting yeast (lager yeast as opposed to top-fermenting yeast used in making ale), the name itself comes from the German for storage. People often think of these beers as light and refreshing, but there are dark lagers out there, and heavily hopped Indian pale lagers too.

    Pilsner

    This is a pale lager which originated in the Czech Republic but is enjoyed all around the world.Generally has a strong hop and floral flavours, also with ‘crisp bitterness’. It’s refreshing quality has made it one of the most popular beers.

    Porter

    A rich, dark beer which has coffee, chocolate and molasses flavours. This beer originated in 18th century London but is now brewed around the world. They are often aged in barrels and commonly infused with other flavours like vanilla, plum or chocolate.
