The secret behind the ultimate taste 🍺 The way a beer tastes, is greatly influenced by the freshness of the beer. Keeping a beer fresh, is one of the biggest challenges for. There are many factors involved, all of which can have an impact. Oxygen - Our friend for breathing, but beer's worst enemy! Oxygen can turn your beer sour by allowing bacteria to transform alcohol into acetic acid. Breweries combat this by using CO₂ to flush out oxygen during packaging and employing innovative systems like one-way kegs and bag-in-tank to keep oxygen at bay. Light - Ever noticed how some beers come in green or brown bottles? That's because UV light can react with hops, changing the taste of your beer. The best solution? Keep beer out of the light altogether with cans, KeyKegs, and tank beer systems, ensuring it never loses that fresh flavor. Temperature - Just like Goldilocks, beer needs the temperature to be just right. Too hot or too cold, and the beer can age prematurely or develop off-flavors. The goal is to keep beer at a constant, cool temperature from the brewery to your fridge, which is a challenge but crucial for that perfect sip.

Do Good Brew Rowanberry 2024 For this autumn season, we’ve launched two new seasonal bottles, and the first is an Imperial Gose brewed with rowanberries. We don’t use kettle souring (souring the wort with lactic acid) for our beers. Instead, we use sour malt and natural sour ingredients to achieve a similar effect while maintaining a rich, full-bodied texture in our sour beers. Rowanberries can be quite tart, but for this beer, we used early-harvest berries, which offer a more balanced sourness that’s not too overpowering. Like many of our ingredients, the rowanberries for this beer were handpicked by us from local forests. This allows us to ensure the berries are fresh and sustainably harvested. The beer is available from our brewery shop in Rajamäki, Outo Restaurant in Kämp Galleria Helsinki and from our webshop. Have you ever tasted rowanberries in food or sweets? Would you try this beer? #dogood #dogoodbrew #newbeer #craftbeer #beerpairings

British brewing/beverage consultant based in China as people buy equipment here. I'm your "man on the ground". 25+ years experience helping folks improve their brewing processes from grain to glass...let's have a chat.
Brewers need to be educators...it's been especially true of my time brewing in Asia. Where "craft" beer is understood less by the average drinker. The second most popular article on my site these days is "Describe Beer Like A Brewer"...I've linked to the post in the comments. It's my "cheaters" guide to giving people the ability to be descriptive about beer quickly and easily. For example: ➡ Ever had been which tasted "skunky" or sulphury? 👉 Sulphur or skunky notes indicate your beer is light struck and a bad sign. It’s a reaction between light, riboflavin in the beer and hop alpha acids. Giving the beer a "skunky" flavor. Have you ever noticed noticed most beers are packaged in brown bottles? Brown bottles guard against your beer becoming light-struck compared to green and clear bottles. 💡 However when it comes to beer sensory people should be free to describe how they perceive it themselves. There are no right or wrong answers... Everyone is unique, two people can taste the same beer and get a different experience from it. Yes an IPA can be "hoppy", but the aroma sensed my be slightly different from both people. Likewise the perceived bitterness could be sensed differently. Like spicy for someone is mild to someone else. Beer should be enjoyed (in moderation) and nobody should be able to tell you how to appreciate it. Take a sip, taste it and decide for yourself. Hopefully the guide linked in the comments will help with your beer vocabulary. Cheers 🍻 #Brewing #CraftBrewing #Beer #CraftBeer #PeopleInBrewing #PeopleInBeer #BrewingConsultant #Alcohol #Drinks #DrinksIndustry #Equipment #BrewingEquipment

Let's talk about balance in beers. Have you ever ordered an IPA in a taproom with 70-80 IBUs and realized that the bitterness of the beer is actually not that present? Well this is thanks to the balance between the sweetness of the malt and the bitterness of the hops. Let's see: IBU's (international bitterness units) is the international measure to establish bitterness in beer. This is established by each brewer when the formulation and brewing of the beer is carried out. Analysis can later be done in the laboratory for accurate numbers. This amount of IBUs counteracts the amount of sweetness provided by the malt. Now, why is balance even in the most malty beers so important? Simple: Drinkability. Drinkability is what all of us, brewers, should aspire. We need to aspire that all our creations are in a high range of drinkability, this will help us make our product appealing to the majority of beer lovers. I am aware that not all of us like the same types of beer, and that sometimes a beer with 80 IBUS can be seen as very bitter, but I invite you to try it, and analyze if there is a balance between bitterness and caramel flavors. , chocolate, bread, cookies and malt sweetness. I'll be honest, I love IPAs, that feeling of freshness and citrus, fruity, spicy aromas that the hops give is really pleasant to my senses, however, I like that the IPA that I am enjoying at my favorite bar is very well balanced, so in That way, I can order one or two more after reach the bottom of my glass. Cheers! #craftbeer #brewer #beerlovers #beer #drinkability #ipas #ibus #malt

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐫? Beer is one of the oldest , most popular, and widely consumed drinks around the world. Be it bottles or the draft beer, it’s a drink which unites people and beer lovers will definitely agree with us on that! Drinking a glass of draft beer in a brewery and pouring it directly from the bottle results in different tastes. Have you ever thought of why there is a change in taste while they both are made of the same grain and flavors? Well, most draft beers are kept at a consistent pressure and temperature, which helps in retaining the original flavor and taste of the drink. While bottled beer is often kept in the refrigerator or even on the shelf, which tones down the flavor notes of the drink. Another factor in the difference of taste is light. When beer is exposed to light, it oxidizes which means the hops are killed in the process which makes it bitter in taste. This is the only reason why most bottled beer tastes more bitter than draft beer. Unlike bottles, kegs and cans protect the beer from light at all times, but cans might not necessarily be kept in the walk-in cooler. Negligence can also screw up a draft experience. The ultimate responsibility is on the bar owner/kegerator owner. No matter how diligently a delicious beer is brewed, if it’s poured through a dirty line, drinkers will notice. If beer lines and taps aren’t cleaned regularly, they may dispense beer contaminated with yeast, mold , bacteria, and mineral deposits. Even if you can’t see it, you will most definitely taste it. So, take the time to make sure your beer lines are clean and keep your beer tasting the way the brewers intended. If you need a hand with a cleaning, just not sure where to start, call Keg Techs: the draft beer system experts. Call (906)256-9119 to schedule your next cleaning! #beerguys #Draftbeer #bottledbeer #beer #justright #kegtechs

🍺 Keep it fresh, folks! 🍺 How can you get the freshest beer possible, if it's in a can or bottle? When you're grabbing beer in a retail environment, always check those dates. You might see 'PKD' for the packaged date or 'BBD', which stands for best before date. Many breweries put 9-12 months on beers as standard, so take that number of months away from any BBD date. Note: it's not compulsory to print date codes. Sometimes, they are blurred or adjusted for styles that can keep longer like higher-alcohol beers, stouts and anything with acidity. Another tip is to rotate your fridge stock to enjoy the oldest ones first. This goes for anyone stocking retail cool rooms and your home fridge. This way, you're more likely to drink beer in optimal conditions as the brewery intended. To learn more about tasting workshops and WSET beer courses head to https://lnkd.in/gwhqMyAp

Brewing Magic: Why Great Craft Beer Takes Time to Perfect Craft beer is all about flavor, complexity, and quality—none of which happen overnight. The magic really kicks in when you let that beer ferment and mature fully. Think of it like marinating a great piece of steak; rushing it just won’t cut it. Fermentation is where the real action happens. Yeast gets to work, turning sugars into alcohol while creating those awesome flavors and aromas—fruity esters, spicy phenols, and more. But here’s the kicker: if you don’t give it enough time, off-flavors like a buttery or green apple taste can crash the party and ruin the vibe. After fermentation, the beer needs time to mellow and mature. This is when all those flavors and aromas really blend and balance out. The harsh edges smooth out, carbonation finds its sweet spot, and the beer becomes something you can truly savor. For styles like lagers, patience is everything. These brews need extra time to shine, and rushing them will leave you with a flat, boring beer. But when you give the process the time it deserves, you’re rewarded with a beer that’s bursting with character—a drink that tells the story of the hops, malt, and yeast that made it. Now that’s craft! #CraftBeer #FermentationMatters #nocrapontap #BrewedToPerfection #BeerMaturation #SlowBrew #BoldFlavors #BrewmastersChoice #LagerLove #CraftNotCrap #FlavorJourney
