How Beer is Made hat happens when the ingredients of beer—malted barley (malt), water, W yeast and hops—are combined? Let’s take a virtual tour through a brewery and see. Whether you visit a giant like Anheuser Busch, or your local brewpub, the steps are more or less the same. The first ingredient, malted barley, would make a perfectly respectable breakfast cereal: crunchy, bready, slightly sweet. The brewer mills the malt, cracking the grains between rollers to expose more surface area. Then, just as tea leaves or coffee grounds are steeped in water to extract their flavors, the malt is heated with water in a large kettle called a “mash tun.” The hot water pulls the sugars from the malt into a solution known as “sweet liquor.” The Magic of Fermentation The brewer rinses the malt (“sparging”) and strains it Cooled to the right temperature, and chock full of sugar, wort to get the last of the sugars into solution. The malt is now is the perfect diet for yeast, the uni-cellular organisms that “spent grain,” useless for beer, but still good for baking, or for do the work of fermentation.

The new stew alcoholic atmosphere becomes unfriendly: the yeast slow of malt sugars, hop flavors and water is called “wort.” down, or even die. Fermentation is complete. The “green” beer is transferred to conditioning tanks to age. If the beer is an ale—a beer produced by a yeast that works at relatively warm temperatures—it can be ready to drink within days. If it is a lager, produced by a yeast that works at lower temperatures, it will need conditioning (“lager- ing”) at a cooler temperature for several weeks or longer. At this point, the beer is almost ready for you. In a brewpub, you can order beer from serving tanks adjacent to the fermentation tanks—as fresh as beer can be. A distributing brewery puts its beer into bottles or kegs at this stage, either bubbling with the natural CO2 the yeast releases into the brew, or with the carbonation augmented in the beer or at the point of dispense. Either way, you should end up with a glass of fresh beer, packed with complex aroma and flavor. Take a moment to gaze through the golden, amber or mid- night liquid. Its elements have been soaked, warmed, germi- nated, toasted, milled, steeped, boiled, cooled, fermented, fla- vored, aged, gassed, and chilled.

This growth in the retail market in Columbia has strengthen the bar business for craft beer. For an evening of beer hunting, the Vista area of Columbia is the undisputed place to go. The Flying Saucer Draught Emporium on Lady Street has an incredible 81 taps of draft beer and plenty of bottles as well as tasty sandwiches, brats and pizzas. Each week the Saucer features different promotions includ- ing a “Brewery Nite” spotlighting a specific brewery and a “Rare Keg Nite” featuring a fresh keg of a limited-release beer from a craft brew- ery. The one year old World of Beer is located around the corner from the Saucer at 902 F Gervais Street and is challenging the Saucer for the lead in this area. WOB is an impressive beer bar with 70 taps of draft beer along with hundreds of different bottled beers. WOB has started limited onsite food service but its primary emphasis remains fine beer though it has arrangements with restaurants in the area so customers can order food that will be delivered to them at WOB. World of Beer has monthly featured beers and regular promo- tions including Brewery Nights, rare kegs tapings and live music on weekends. This is a unique and very special beer venue with its comfortable setting and a well-trained staff that knows beer and is ready to guide you through its extensive beer selection. Across Park Street from WOB is the Liberty Tap Room and Grill. Liberty has a total of 62 draft taps and features three beers on tap that are made by an affiliated brewery in Myrtle Beach as well

World Beer Festival Columbia 17 The Carolina Ale House

This is a rare spot that allows you to enjoy a fine cigar with a good craft beer. Not far away on Columbian Boulevard, is the Carolina Ale House. This is a very popular spot in the Harbison area with a good selection of craft beer from its 30 draft taps and extensive bottle selection. Carolina Ale House is famous for its delicious food, fun atmosphere and loads of televisions. There are other spots in Columbia for fine beer that should be visited. A promising new venue on Rosewood Drive is The Kraken Gastropub. This place opened a few months ago and provides exceptional food with a generous selection of craft beer. The Kraken is owned by local beer enthusiast Aaron Klugh and is one of the rare beer-centric restaurants in Columbia. Nearby in Five Points, the venerable Publick House is a great place for a pint of craft beer in a neighborhood bar setting and just down Devine Street is Delaney’s Music Pub that features live music, food and fine beer. Full service restaurants are slowly catching on to craft beer and a few are noteworthy. Motor Supply, Mr. Friendly’s, Rosso and Solstice Kitchen are all great places to find world-class beer to pair with their creative food offerings that are beautifully pre- pared and presented. Most of these restaurants have occasional beer dinners that should not be missed. Cheers and Enjoy! —Gerald Jowers
