			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every thought about craft wheat beers?</p>
<p>Wheat beers are beers made mostly of wheat with ample portions of malted barley. Wheat beers are top-fermented and its flavors vary with the brewing style and the proportions of its ingredients. Wheat beers are light to medium bodied with a light amber color. They are crisp to the taste with a tinge of acidity and can be just a little bit bitter.</p>
<p>Wheat beers has a couple of varieties examples of which are witbierss, weissbier and other wheat beers such as American Wheat beer.</p>
<p>Belgian Wheat Beers</p>
<p>Witbierss (WIT)</p>
<p>Witbierss or what is also called as Belgian white beer because of their pale, amber color , is the Belgian version of wheat beer. It is brewed with different flavoring such as orange peel and coriander and also other spices and herbs called “gruit” along with its main ingredient of wheat. Witbierss are initially hazy but when they are cooled, its color change white.  Witbierss has a bit of a sour taste mainly because of the lactic acid that is present.</p>
<p>German Wheat Beers</p>
<p>Weissbier</p>
<p>Weissbier is the German version of wheat beer brewed by mixing an equal proportion of wheat and barley malt. There are many types of Weissbers and some of the most common are Hefeweizen which is brewed unfiltered, Kirstallweizen which is filtered during the brewing process to remove the yeast and the wheat proteins which gives it a cloudy appearance. Dark weissbiers usually has high alcohol content compared to the light-colored ones.</p>
<p>Dunkelweizen</p>
<p>Dunkelweizen is another German wheat beer that is similar to weissbier except that it is more darker in color with a softer and more malty taste. The dark color of dunkelweizen is due to its lightly roasted pale malt.</p>
<p>Weizenbock</p>
<p>Wiezenbock is a beer brewed weizen style except that it is 50% stronger compared to weissbiers and dunkelzeizen with 7% alchohol content. Wiezenbocks has intense spice and fruit flavors with a little taste of alcohol.</p>
<p>Berliner Weisse<span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p>Berliner Weisse is a sour wheat beer that is very tart. It is often drank with a small slice of lemon and it has a low alcohol content which is mostly below 3 percent. Berliner Weisse are also light-bodied.</p>
<p>American Wheat beer</p>
<p>American Wheat beers are combinations of American Ale and German Weizen style beers. It’s a drinkable, balanced and smooth beer with a cloud color and a bit of tartness on is texture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pilsner beer was first brewed in the1840’s in the town of Plzen(Pilsen ) which is currently known as Czech Republic.  This kind of beer made a shift in flavor and appearance from the dark sweet beers common that time to the delicate flavor.  The word “plzen” means mushroom or fungus which is widely used in brewing beer. However, the combination of pale malts, water, Czech or German hops and lager yeast are favored.  This kind of beer has malt low in protein content and is dried for a short while at low temperatures.</p>
<p>The feature of any classic pilsner, as in great beer reviews, is the distinct hop bitterness.  Even though lager yeasts were favored in Bavaria and Bohemia before the birth of the pilsner beer, the lager yeast was to brew setting the brewing revolution.  The history of pilsner beer started in the 1800’s when the citizens of Pilner joined together to form “Peopleas Brewery”.  The citizens hold brewing rights.<span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p>Many techniques used by the Peopleas Brewery over 150 years ago were also used by classic pilsner brewers from Czech Republic and Germany.  Even brewers these days look for the finest straw-colored malt and Czech Saaz hops to make their own brewing flavor.</p>
<p>Pilsner brewing still is considered as the popular brewing style in Germany, Bohemia and other European countries.  Even markets of this kind in Asia and South America use the method.  The German version has a lighter in color with increasing hop bitterness.  In these countries, presentation of beer is popular.  The temperature, glassware and the way of dispensing beer is detailed.  The German pilsner is served at a temperature of 45 degree Fahrenheit using a vase-like glass.  It is served in quick shots straight down the middle of the glass, making sure that the beer foam about 2-3 inches rests to the top of the glass.  The Czech pilsner on the other hand is darker in color.  It has more malt content and taste.</p>
<p>The taste of the pilsner beer is more adaptable to work well in the palate with different menus.  It works well with seafood dishes, meat dishes and even with pasta.  Travels to Europe would prove that this kind of beer is widely popular being paired with different dishes.</p>
<p>One’s own palate would determine what kind of beer would be a choice.  There is no rule what kind would be best with any dish or menu.  The individual is the own judge for what he thinks would best suit his taste.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beer is the third most known drink next to water and tea. That why there are so many beer blogs popping up too. It is the oldest consumed alcoholic beverage. Beer is produced from cereal grain, such as malted barley, wheat, corn and rice. Hops are added in beer to give it a bitter taste. It is also used as a preservative. Beers can also be added with other ingredients that could give it flavor, like some herbs and fruits. The process of producing beer is by brewing and fermenting starches.</p>
<p>There are only two types of beers; these are the pales lagers and ales. Beers are usually drank during social occasions. Beer-drinking nations have already been celebrating beer festivals.<span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p>Lagers are one of the most popular beers made by large breweries of America. Although beers have been known for hundreds of years, lagers were just recently added. It was said in the Munich that lagers were produced since the year 1400’s while others dated it to be during the 1500’s. Some say that lagers originated in Bavaria, but it is still unclear as to where and when these lagers came from.</p>
<p>These lagers became popular because of it being different from the usual beers. The process of producing lagers was famous in cold locations. The production of lagers were only practiced in these cold places and was only practical to those brewers who deal a great capital because lagers require longer storage time when brewed long. It takes time for lagers to be sold in the market because of this process. Those selling lagers are usually assumed to having low quality and flavor in production. To be able to produce this kind of beer at a lower cost, sellers use grains, such as rice and corn.  This, although, lessens the real taste of the beer. It also changes the color and makes it slightly bland, with only a pinch of aroma or flavor having no fruity bite. Examples of these are Miller Genuine Draft, Budweiser, and Coors.</p>
<p>The most famous kind of lager which is known all over is Pilsener. Pilseners originated in Pilsen, a Bohemian town. Pilsener Urquell is the best distinct brand of Pilsener. The classic Pilseners vary from a variety of colors whether this is the style of Germans or Bohemians. Characteristics of German or Bohemian pilseners are bitterness, slightly sweet with no fruity ester having a malty body. The style of the Bohemians and Germans are all malt brews, the style of the Europeans are different. European style of Pilseners is grain brew, from rice, wheat, or corn. Examples of these are Pilsener Urquell, Jever, Bitburger.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The evolution of brewing of the Indian pale ale (IPA) stated back in the late 1700’s.  During the early brewing years in Great Britain, an error was committed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer">at the early</a> stage of beer making that caused the color of beer to be dark and murky.  This problem was seen in the malting process which converts the starch in grain to sugar.  The malting process was becoming more controllable by the later part of the 18th century.  Brewers then conceptualized their own procedure to soak barley and allowed it to sprout.  They had to halt germination.  This was done through “kilning” which is the process of wet grain drying using the oven.  But the style used in controlling the oven temperature to dry the wet grain using the oven was considered primitive.</p>
<p>Through the years, malting process became more controlled and the grains produced were not as “kilned”.  Brewers used this breakthrough to their advantage.  The color of the beer at this stage is still deep copper but a little paler now.</p>
<p>In the late 1700&#8217;s Hogdson was the most popular ale brewer in London. With easy access to shipping from the capital, Hogdson was in position to supply beer to homesick English colonists around the world. Of these, none felt so removed, nor thirsted more for the pleasures of English breweries, than the troops garrisoned on the sub-continent of India. Hogdson rightly believed it a huge market waiting to be tapped, but how could beer survive the trip around Africa?</p>
<p>During the late 1700’s, Hogdson was the known brewer in London.  Hogdson used three brewing methods.  First that was used hops as a natural preservative.  Next he incorporated alcohol at a high level to the brewing done.  Lastly, the use of hopping was again added as a preservative.  This method modified Pale ale beer and consumers liked it.  The modification resulted to changes that were more or less comparable to the old pale ale. To identify closely one from the other, the new one was renamed Indian pale ale.</p>
<p>A distinct characteristic of Indian pale ale is the alcohol content and hopping.  Some modifications done to this beer is the additions of carapils malt and crystals which contribute to the deep copper/amber color.  Generally, IPA in its traditional form possesses a perfumy, alcohol, fruity and malty feature and the newer versions always the malt with strong hops.  Varieties of Goldings and Fuggles are used by English brewers.  The American version of the IPA are Northern Brewer, Cascade and Chinook which exudes off a citric or grapefruit-like flavors.</p>
<p>The Indian pale ale (IPA) works best to the palate if paired with delicate cuisine and seafood dishes.  It works well with strong cheese-taste, casserole dishes, stews, barbeques and red meat menus.  It works well, as well, when taken alone.  Drinkers favor to consume them in the winter and also enjoyable throughout the year.</p>
