Despite its deceptively simple ingredients, sake has an extraordinary breadth of flavours and aromas, ranging from light, delicate and aromatic to complex, rich and robust. Because there are no tannins or high acidity in sake to affect the flavour of food, sake is extremely food friendly and tastes great with many cuisines, not just Japanese. Sake classifications are based on the degree of milling of the rice grains. The more the rice is milled away before brewing, the more fats and proteins are removed and the more expensive the sake. In this list we have tried to offer an interesting range of styles of sakes - some just to enjoy by themselves and others to enjoy with food. If you're a novice, don't be scared. Try one or two of the inexpensive sakes that are available by the 70ml serve and see what you think. Shochu (pronounced “shorchew” ) is a distilled spirit that is unique to Japan. Many shochus are based on sake as the base material for distillation, but they aren't restricted to just sake. Barley, sweet potato and many other base materials can be used as long as the starches are converted to sugars with koji before fermentation. Unlike many western spirits, the best shochus are only distilled once to try to keep as much of the character of the base material as possible and usually only to about 25% alcohol or so. They are light and delicious and great before or after food, depending upon the type. Best served on the rocks with a little water or soda. Both sake and shochu may be sweetened or flavoured using juice or fruit. Two of the most common additions are Yuzu (a tangy relative of the lemon) in Yuzushu and Ume (a type of Japanese plum) in Umeshu. These styles are generally for consumption after dining, like a type of dessert wine.

  • Beer and Malt Handbook: Beer Types (PDF)
    1. BEER TYPES The world is full of different beers, divided into a vast array of different types. Many classifications and precise definitions of beers having been formulated over the years, ours are not the most rigid, since we seek simply to review some of the most important beer types. In addition, we present a few options for the malt used for each type-hints for brewers considering different choices of malt when planning a new beer. The following beer types are given a short introduction to our Viking Malt malts. TOP FERMENTED BEERS: • Ales • Stouts and Porters • Wheat beers BOTTOM FERMENTED BEERS: • Lager • Dark lager • Pilsner • Bocks • Märzen 4 BEER & MALT HANDBOOK. BACKGROUND Known as the ‘mother’ of all pale lagers, pilsner originated in Bohemia, in the city of Pilsen. Pilsner is said to have been the first golden, clear lager beer, and is well known for its very soft brewing water, which PILSNER contributes to its smooth taste. Nowadays, for example, over half of the beer drunk in Germany is pilsner. DESCRIPTION Pilsner was originally famous for its fine hop aroma and strong bitterness. Its golden color and moderate alcohol content, and its slightly lower final attenuation, give it a smooth malty taste. Nowadays, the range of pilsner beers has extended in such a way that the less hopped and lighter versions are now considered ordinary lagers. TYPICAL ANALYSIS OF PILSNER Original gravity 11-12 °Plato Alcohol content 4.5-5.2 % volume C olor6 -12 °EBC Bitterness 2 5-40 BU COMMON MALT BASIS Pale Pilsner Malt is used according to the required specifications.

  • Physicochemical Characterization of Sahti, an 'Ancient' Beer Style
    Research article Institute of Brewing & Distilling Received: 18 February 2015 Revised: 20 May 2015 Accepted: 10 June 2015 Published online in Wiley Online Library: 11 September 2015 (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI 10.1002/jib.246 Physicochemical characterization of sahti, an ‘ancient’ beer style indigenous to Finland Jukka Ekberg,1 Brian Gibson,1* Jussi J. Joensuu,1 Kristoffer Krogerus,1,2 Frederico Magalhães,1,2 Atte Mikkelson,1 Tuulikki Seppänen-Laakso1 and Arvi Wilpola1 Sahti, a strong, unhopped farmhouse beer flavoured with juniper, is still actively brewed in rural areas in Finland. Presented here is the first comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of this unique beer style. Twelve sahti sam- ples from the southwest of Finland were analysed and, while properties varied, the beers generally had high levels of alcohol (mean = 7.9% ABV) and high residual extract (mean = 9.5°P). Foam stability was negligible, as is typical for the style, and glycerol concentrations at 3.1 – 4.7 g LÀ1 were higher than in reference beers (commercial lager, wheat beer and porter). These features may be attributed to the very high gravity conditions employed in brewing sahti beers. Bitterness levels were relatively low (3–13 IBU) owing to the absence or moderate use of hops. All samples contained detectable levels of the clove- like compound 4-vinylguaiacol owing to the use of baker’s rather than brewer’s yeast for brewing. Concentrations of higher alcohols and esters were high, with many individual aroma compounds being above the normal flavour thresholds. Results have highlighted the uniqueness of this style of beer in comparison to commercially available beers and have contributed to our understanding of the reasons for the particular sensorial properties of this traditional beer style.
