Let's Talk Beer
Really it is not that hard to get to be a beer pro.
Scientists say that beer can boost your health so cheers to your health. In 2008 UC Davis Study showed that drinking beer can decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke by nearly 40%. A few bears now and then can also guard against hypertension, diabetes and even dementia. A Tufts University study showed that dark beers protect bone-mineral density, lowering the chances of developing osteoporosis.
Just remember that this is all in moderation, I am not saying drink a 6 pack every night.
Now let's go over some beer-tionary, your 10-second guide to the beer style you need to know.
Pale Ale
This is amber-hued beer is made from pale malts. It's at once fruity and slightly bitter, like your college roommate who liked to watch you sleep.
India Pale Ale
A pale ale with significantly more hops. This style was created out of the necessity. Brits added extra hops to help preserve the beer during overseas trips to India.
Double IPA
An even more hopped up IPA.
Brown Ale
Despite its color, this is one of the sweeter ales, made from chocolates and or caramel malts.
Hefeweizen (wheat beer)
Wheat beers are crisp smooth and slightly tart, this beet as hints of citrus in it.
Dunkelweizen
Hefe's darker cousin this wheat beer has hints of banana and toffee.
Imperial Stout
This almost-flat brew used dark, roasted malt. The flavor starts with coffee but finishes with a tart blueberry.
Pilsner
The world's first golden beer, pils is made with pale malt and noble hops, which have all the hop aroma but less bitterness.
Tripel
This golden brew ha three times as many pale malts as average ale. It was born out of the monasteries of Belgium.
Farmhouse Ale
A bubble, straw-hued, medieval-born Belgian pale ale that's sweet and low in alcohol, this is truly the original summer beer.
Oktoberfest
Also known as Marzen, this red, sugary Bavarian beer is brewed with a mix of Vienna and Munich malts that give it's a fruity nose and toffee like flavor.
Remember do not drink and drive and only drink in moderation.
