The cause of - and the solution to – all of life’s problems.” -Homer Simpson “Woman drove me to drink and I never even had the courtesy to thank her.” –W.C. Fields “A drink a day keeps the shrink away.” – Edward Abbey ‘You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline – it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but a the very least you need a beer.” -Frank Zappa Porter – A blend of pale ale and brown or stout. Highly roasted malt, less pronounced hops, slightly sweet. Stout – Rich, malty flavour usually combined with a strong, bitter hops taste. Dark, almost black in colour due to the highly roasted malt. Pale Ale - Malt is dried, rather than roasted, resulting in a lighter bronze or copper colour, and a lighter, less hearty flavour. Pale refers to the colour of the malt used in the brewing process. Scotch Ale – Heavily dominated by sweet malt and smoky peat flavour. Brewed in Scotland (but then you’ve probably already figured that part out). Bitter – British ales, usually bronze to deep copper in colour, heavily hopped, giving them a high degree of hop’s bitterness. IPA (India Pale Ale) – A much hoppier, bitter version of pale ale, first brewed for British troops traveling to India in the late 1700’s. The extra hops and higher ABV allowed the beer to travel long distances without going bad. Real Ale / Cask Conditioned Beer – Much lower in carbon dioxide than keg conditioned beer. The smooth effect of the lower amount of fizz heightens the mouth feel and draws our attention to the layer of other flavours. It is served at cellar temperature of 45-50°F, which is about 10-15° above the normal serving temperature of American beers. This allows the drinker to appreciate the many nuances in the malt and hop profiles (cold tends to anesthetize the sense of smell and taste).
