Beer is not one style- it is not one taste. There are as many different tastes in beers as there are moods.
There is a beer for every mood, every food, and every activity.
Happy
Summer!
Time to taste a lager or
ale with flavor!
Lagers vs. Ales
Lagers | Ales | The word lager comes from the German word lagern which means,
"to store". These bottom fermenting yeast brews do their magic at a cool 34 degrees F more or less, and are
often further stored at cool temperature to mature. Lager yeast produce fewer by-product characters than ale yeast which allows
for other flavors to pull through, such as hops. | This category of beer uses yeast that ferments at the "top" with
temps a little warmer (o.k. 30 degrees), these little yeasties do their thing quicker too! Ale yeast are known to produce
by-products called esters, which are "flowery" and "fruity" aromas you know those apple, pear, pineapple,
grass, hay, plum, prune, or in Kerry's case "banana in the nose!" |

Enough
of the book stuff now for the real education -- try some of these beauties for some summer yummers!
This week's "Try It Brews"
Boy it gonna be a cooker this week, that and the hazy smoke skies -- could be just the week
to try some of the new ales and lagers that have rolled in! S= Smithfield; GP= Gov's Pointe Availability
Let's
start with a couple of ales . . .
Bells does it
again! Amber Ale Belle's call this their flagship beer. Made
from mostly pale malt with some Munich and caramel malts giving this brew a slightly sweet, I'm not talking sticky but pleasantly
refreshing, flavor that is balanced really well with a "melange of American hops." Pours a deep copper
color and to sum it up, rich flavor.
Not to be out done - New Holland Brewing has two great beers to try!
Sundog- Full Circle-
And now a few lagers!
Tusker-

Beers In Stock -- Smithfield
Beers in Stock -- Gov. Pointe
This is where I've tucked the list of the beers in stock. Can't say all because
with the selection at Bon Vivant -- bound to miss a couple. Stop in -- it's the best way to get the latest and greatest!
Buddy says,
"The best beers around are at my place, Bon Vivant Market. Where all the in-the-know beer
dogs go!"
