  • History of Development of English Bitters and Pale Ales

    History of Development of English Bitters and Pale Ales

    History of Development of English Bitters and Pale Ales. For such a popular category of beers, style guidelines are rather blurry. In particular, the distinction between English Bitter and English Pale Ale is elusive. British brewers themselves appear to use the two terms indiscriminately, along with Strong Ale, Premium Ale, Strong Pale Ale and others. Australian style guidelines recognize EPA, but fail to satisfactorily distinguish it from English Special Bitter. American BJCP guidelines completely omit EPA as a separate style. In modern terms, this omission may seem justified: 89.6% of all English pale beers in a 1997 survey were designated bitter, only 6.9% designated pale or light ale, and 3.5% IPA. (Terry Foster, Pale Ale, 1999) Thus even in England the term “pale ale” is almost extinct, and the style itself has become absorbed into the broader bitter category. It wasn’t always so, and the history of development of these beers gives quite a different picture. History is open to interpretation and some of the stories may be apochryphal, but it becomes evident that Pale Ale preceded Bitter by half a century or more, and when Bitter eventually did emerge, it was a distinctly different beer from Pale Ale. India Pale Ale. 1790 : George Hodgson of London is credited with the first shipment of “Hodgsons India Ale”, a somewhat paler beer specifically designed for export. He employs huge quantities of hops as a preservative during the long hot voyage to India. OG is around 1.070, comparable to the dominant porters of the day. He cornered the India trade for a time due more to his shrewd and aggressive marketing tactics than the quality of his beer - “We neither like its thick and muddy appearance or rank bitter flavour” commented one brewer.

    Association of Brewers' Beer Style Guidelines

    Brewers Association 2011 Beer Style Guidelines January 10, 2011 Compiled for the Brewers Association by Charlie Papazian, copyright: 1993 through and including 2011. With Style Guideline Committee assistance and review by Paul Gatza, Chris Swersey, and suggestions from Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup judges. Since 1979 the Brewers Association has provided beer style descriptions as a reference for brewers and beer competition organizers. Much of the early work was based on the assistance and contributions of beer journalist Michael Jackson. The task of creating a realistic set of guidelines is always complex. The beer style guidelines developed by the Brewers Association use sources from the commercial brewing industry, beer analyses, and consultations with beer industry experts and knowledgeable beer enthusiasts as resources for information. The Brewers Association' beer style guidelines reflect, as much as possible, historical significance, authenticity or a high profile in the current commercial beer market. Often, the historical significance is not clear, or a new beer in a current market may be only a passing fad, and thus, quickly forgotten. For these reasons, the addition of a style or the modification of an existing one is not undertaken lightly and is the product of research, consultation and consideration of market actualities, and may take place over a period of time. Another factor considered is that current commercial examples do not always fit well into the historical record, and instead represent a modern version of the style. Our decision to include a particular historical beer style takes into consideration the style's brewing traditions and the need to preserve those traditions in today's market.

  • Beer Style Guide & Food Pairings

    has been in existence for thousands of years, slowly being refined, studied and improved to what you currently taste today. Today's beer is a far cry from the first accidental soggy grain and yeast concoction and can be as simple or complex to suit the drinker's taste. When it comes to beer, knowledge makes all the difference, and this guide will help identify the major varieties and what makes them unique. Beer isn't just beer; it's history, art, craft and science combined to form the perfect drink to celebrate special occasions, honor traditions and reflect the individual style within us all. < • t WATER The foundation of beer and makes up 90% of beer content. Regional differences in water contribute to the unique flavor profiles of beers brewed with that water. HOPS Theflowering cone of a vineplant. Hops provide bitterness, flavor and balance to the malty sweetness in the beer. Hops also help in head retention and add different aromas like citrus, spice, grass, pine or woodsy notes. GRAIN Often described as the soul of the beer, grain plays a crucial role in determining strength and flavor of the beer. Most beers contain Barley Malt which has been soaked in water right up to the point of germination then quickly dried. Different roasting times produce different colors and flavors of malt from the same grain. The longer the roast time, the darker the malt andthe darker the color of the beer. Grain also provides the sugar source that will later produce alcohol during fermentation. YEAST If grain is the soul, then yeast is the life of the beer.
