BEER 101 What’s in beers Most beers are made up of four basic ingredients: · Barley, which is processed into malt, then brewed · Hops, which are added during brewing to balance the malt with a more bitter flavor · Yeast, which adds carbonation and alcohol content during fermentation · Water
Ale vs. lager
13
GUIDE
The most basic distinction to make in a beer is whether it’s an ale or a lager, which is determined by how the yeast ferments during the brewing process.
Beers are brewed in tanks, and in ales, the yeast ferments at the top of the tank, which is called top-fermenting. Ale-brewing is done in warmer environments, generally between 60 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes the yeast brew more quickly and causes more flavorful, complex and generally darker beers.
Lagers are bottom-fermenting, which means the yeast ferments at the bottom of the tank when lagers are brewing. Lagers brew in colder temperatures for a longer time than ales, which causes the yeast to produce fewer of the compounds that add flavor. This process makes for crisper, less-complex beers.

The sunsets are stunning, and people enjoy spending an afternoon on the patio. The Sunnyslope Wine trail welcomed them as part of the stops on the trail. From day one, the community has welcomed them, and they have expanded their menu and wine list.
