Find your brew: Explore different beer styles

Beer has been produced by humans for longer than many people may know. Barley beer researchers have traced beer production to presentday Iran in the fifth millennium BC. The making and drinking of beer also is noted in the written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Beer is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages available today and it is an important sector of the beverage industry. Business Insider says an estimated $661 billion worth of beer was sold around the world in 2017. In the United States alone, more than 7,000 new breweries opened in 2018, according to the Brewers Association. An additional 1,000 breweries were expected to open in 2019.

All beers are either lagers or ales, which are distinguished by the type of yeast used during the fermentation process (bottom- or top-fermenting, respectively). These beers are further labeled to describe the brew’s overall character, and oftentimes its place of origin, states BeerAdvocate.

The following are some of the most popular types of beers on the market.

Bocks: BeerAdvocate says a German Bock is a lager that is stronger than your typical lager, with a more robust malt character. The hue of these beers ranges from dark amber to brown. Bocks were once brewed by Bavarian monks and were consumed at the end of Lent.

Brown ales: These beers feature toasty flavors with malty overtones. They have a mid-range alcohol content and boast a hoppy bitterness. Brown ales are fullbodied beers that pair well with heavier foods, like red meats and stews.

Dark lagers: Many dark lagers have malty, smooth, caramel flavors. They tend to have a mid-range alcohol level and relatively low bitterness profiles.

India pale ales: IPAs boast strong hop bitterness and piney, floral flavors. They are especially popular among craft beer enthusiasts and brewers. IPAs tend to have a higher alcohol content than other pale ales. Imperial or double IPAs have even more pronounced flavors and higher ABVs.

Pale ales: These beers are hoppy, but generally light, drinkable beers.

Pilsners and pale lagers: These similar, golden-colored beers are light in flavor and lower in alcohol content than other styles of beer. This style of beer was made popular in Germany, but many American brands like Coors and Budweiser have made pale lagers a favorite of the masses.

Porters: Porters were developed in London in the early 18th century. These beers are well-hopped and dark in appearance due to the use of brown malt. The name grew from the popularity of the beer among street and river porters.

Stouts: Stouts tend to be dark in color and are often mistaken as being heavy and strong. This isn’t always the case. Many stouts are complex and low in alcohol, according to All About Beer magazine. Dry stouts are wellknown in Ireland. A distinguishing characteristic of a dry stout is its black, essentially opaque appearance.

Beer is a complex beverage that comes in many unique styles.

Many easily pair with fish, poultry and cheeses.

Host a Wine Tasting Party

With the weather improving and temperatures warming, party season is just around the corner. What’s better than mixing your favorite wines and foods with your favorite friends, neighbors and family members?

It’s time to throw the perfect wine tasting party.

Pulling off the party of the season is easy with the right preparation and execution. Hosting a wine tasting party is a great way to not only socialize but also learn and teach about your favorite wines.

Wine is a complex subject because of its many makes and styles. Different people have different tastes when it comes to wine, so the more you can learn about it the better. Below are a few ideas that can help you as you plan your party. Wine tastings are fun because they allow you to taste wines that you may not otherwise try. The ideal time for tasting is before a lunch or dinner so guests can get a sense of which types of wine they like, and then pour themselves a glass with their meal.

Here’s how to set up the perfect tasting:

• Set your tasting table with four to six sample glasses in front of each partygoer. For added fun and mystery, place a numbered piece of paper next to each glass, waiting until the end of the party to reveal what types of wine your guests are tasting.

• An ounce of wine per sample is plenty for each glass, especially if you’re hosting a larger gathering. You want t have enough wine for dinner and dessert.

• Be diverse with your offerings, selecting at least two table wines and dessert wines. Your guests will appreciate variety instead of all dry red wines or all

sweet options.

• Offer your guests bread, crackers and cheese to snack on during the tasting. This will help cleanse the palate between tastings.

• Encourage conversation about the wines with your guests. Take a vote on favorites. Ask for specifics about taste, smell and texture. Keep the conversation light. Even if you’re an expert in wine, you don’t want to intimidate any of your guests or make them uncomfortable about stating their opinion.
