CRAFT BEER !!! SO WHAT EXACTLY IS CRAFT BEER ? ALTHOUGH IT CAN VARY...CRAFT USUALLY REFERS TO BEER BREWED IN SMALL BATCHES...WITH MORE CARE TAKEN AS FAR AS INGREDIENTS AND ATTENTION . LIKE ANYTHING , THE QUALITY BUILDING BLOCKS OF A GREAT BEER ARE FOUR BASIC THINGS . WATER , BARLEY , HOPS , AND YEAST .
THE BEER WORLD CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO MAJOR CATAGORIES...ALES AND LAGERS . THESE TWO STYLES ARE PRIMARILARY DEPENDENT UPON THEIR TYPES OF YEAST AND THEIR FERMENTATION PERIODS .
GENERALLY , ALE YEASTS FERMENT BEER FOR SHORTER PERIODS OF TIME AND AT WARMER TEMPERATURES , WHILE LAGER YEASTS TAKE LONGER AND FERMENT AT COOLER TEMPS...SUCH AS TEMPERATURES FOUND IN CELLARS . BOTH HAVE THEIR DISTINCT FLAVORS , AND CAN BE MODIFIED BY THE ADDITIONS OF THINGS SUCH AS FRUIT , HONEY , WOOD CHIPS , EVEN VEGETABLES !
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS AS BREWERS EXPERIMENT TODAY WITH A WIDE SELECTION OF ADDITIONS , WHICH GIVE THE BEER DRINKER A NEW HORIZON FOR TASTINGS WHICH HE MAY HAVE NEVER EXPECTED !
HERE AT WHALE IRON BREWING , WE STRIVE TO USE ONLY THE BEST INGREDIENTS AND BREW IN SMALL BATCHES IN ORDER TO GIVE OUR FELLOW BEER DRINKERS THE FRESHEST , MOST PLEASING BEERS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE DURING THIS CRAFT BEER REVOLUTION !
