From the Experts: “With a light mouthfeel, this very sessionable lager would pair perfectly with a sunny day at the beach or a backyard barbecue. Its high carbonation and slight bite of hops produce a crisp finish—a clean beer, but by no mean tasteless.” —Emily Coleman, Associate Editor, THE TASTING PANEL Magazine Amy Jeuck, Omission Brand Ambassador, Omission Pale Ale Omission Beer Co. This beer fits neatly into the classical definition of an American pale ale, while still remaining gluten-free through a special process that removes the gluten after fermentation. Coming in at around 33 IBUs, this pale ale’s Cascade hop profile is contrasted beautifully with the caramel malt. From the Experts: “Malt with a touch of hops on the nose. A low-to-medium mouthfeel and clean bitterness create a well-balanced beer; great for those just getting into craft beer or looking for a gluten-free alternative.” —Scot Blair, owner, Hamilton’s Tavern, San Diego OMISSION BREWING CO. november 2014 / the tasting panel / 115 TP1114_104-136.indd 115 10/23/14 6:23 PM.

  • 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.

  • 2008 Great Taste Program
    Welcome from the President Welcome to the 22nd annual Great Taste of the Midwest! Once again, we've got an incredible selection of beers that should titillate your taste buds, and we've made several exciting changes which we hope will make your experience even more enjoyable. We've increased space by fencing in more of the park. Instead of the three large tents that we've have had for many years, there are five smaller ones, which means more brewers, shorter lines and better traffic flow. More tents also means more corners, so expect to see more creative and exciting brewer displays. Our expanded education tent this year will have more than just historical displays, but also presentations pairing beer with chocolate, pairing cheese with beer, and a presentation on cooking with beer. This is our third year for the real ale tent, which is growing again due to its amazing popularity. We'll have sixty delicious cask-conditioned beers which are served right from the firkin. If you've never tried a cask conditioned beer, be sure to stop by! Every year I learn to appreciate this event more and more. The location, the patrons, the brewers and all of the incredible beers make this a truly remarkable event that gets better year after year. Also remarkable are the dedicated members of the Madison Homebrewers and Tasters Guild, whose love for brewing and craft beer has made this event possible. Please take time to thank the festival organizers wearing the beige work shirts, many of whom work countless hours each year to make this event a success.
