Ales Taste Sweeter
By Barry J Smallhorn
Let’s face the facts: most beer drinkers or beer brewing masters
have their favorite type and brand of beer. Sometimes, this decision
is based on what is immediately available in local liquor stores
and sometimes it is because they have narrowed their choices down
to a certain drink.
But not all beers are alike. Sure it may say "beer"
on the label but there are differences; one may be a lager and
another a pilsner. Ales are a great example to use. There are
many different varieties and beer brewing companies that make
ales. If you are not familiar with this fermented drink then you
need to become acquainted with them.
Each different type and variety of beer uses a different brewing
system method to create the finished product. Ales are brewed
using a top fermenting brewer’s yeast. Lagers, stouts and meads
use a bottom fermenting yeast.
The Perfect Is A Touch Sweet With A Bitter Edge
This slight difference helps create the sweetness of the drink.
An ale without the hops added is a very sweet drink. The hops
are added to give the ale a taste of bitterness to counterbalance
the sweetness. This combination melds together to create the perfect
ales that are still a touch sweet, yet have the bitter edge.
If you are interested in the history of the ale, then you should
know that ale was a very standard drink during the 15th century.
It was as common to drink as water. In fact, you would have been
served ale for any meal that you indulged in. Of course the breweries
of that time were individual households, when homebrewing was
a common household chore that was done repeatedly, although they
did not have the brewing equipment that people have today.
Experienced Brew Master Make The Perfect Ale
Today’s breweries have the best equipment that allows the brew
master to carefully monitor the temperature of the mixture. This
means that the brew master can control when hops or yeast is added
and how long it is cooked. Fermenting for too long may mean that
you will wind up with a lager versus having the ale that you set
out to make. It is a very precise method. Experienced brew masters
are always in high demand with beer manufacturers.
With today’s market, anyone can find great ales. You no longer
have to worry about making your own. You can simply go to the
local liquor store and pick up as many types of ale as you wish.
Of course, you probably do not drink ale with every meal but it
is still a fabulous beverage to enjoy when you are relaxing with
friends and family.
There are hundreds of different manufacturers throughout the
world, all of which are experts at brewing beer. Experiment and
try different brands; you may be a fan for life.
