American Beer Has Many Varieties
By Barry J Smallhorn
If you were to walk into a neighborhood bar and ask each person
what their favorite type of beer is, you would probably get many
answers. Every beer drinker has a certain beer that they prefer
over the rest, yet perhaps they have never tried different types
of lagers, pilsners, or stouts.
It may also be that they prefer a certain country’s brewing system.
If you have spurned American beer choices because you did not
think they offered much selection, then you would be mistaken.
American beers are diverse, complex and can be just as satisfying
as German or Belgian beer.
Many Different Types Of American Beers
Beer aristocrats and snobs would like you to believe that American
beer is tasteless, watered down and common. The fact is that they
are wrong. There are many different types of American brewed beers
on the market today that can hold their own against award winning
brewing companies found in foreign countries. The key is just
sampling what is out there and then making your own informed decision.
Let’s take for example Bud Light. For some it is an iconic beer
that is the "King of Beers," yet for others they do
not like the taste and simply prefer a more complex beer that
contains additional notes of flavor. The bottom line is that the
brewing system used for Bud Light is the same brewing system used
for imported beers.
Variations On Ingredients Of Beer
It comes down to a matter of taste and what flavors you prefer.
Do you like your beer to contain more hops? Do you prefer barley
over rice? Different brews follows the same directions but vary
on the ingredients and it is this factor that challenges a person’s
taste buds.
Before you make up your mind and are determined to stay with
one nation’s brew, give some other beers a chance. Sure, they
may not be a domestic product but that does not make them the
automatic best where you are concerned. Beer should be enjoyed
not debated over. It is one of the most popular drinks in the
entire world and has a rich history dating back to the ancient
Egyptians and Mesopotamians.
Expanding Your Palate By Sampling Different Beers
If you are a beer drinker, then you have to keep an open mind
about what it is you are drinking. Only by sampling different
types of beers made from different companies and brewed in different
countries can you expand your palate exponentially. An American
beer is just one example of a country that brews beer.
You need to experiment with the different varieties offered by
American brewing companies and compare those varieties to beers
from around the world. You may actually come out with a new favorite
when all is said and done.
