Slow Beer

you've heard it before that "all beer tastes the same" when referring to "factory beer". the best think of these beers as the lowest common denominator with regards to taste, smell and expectations. they were designed with a precarious balancing act in mind which makes a beer that tastes like something, has a buzz inducing quality and is cost effective to make while maximizing profits. add in a little advertising to tell people what they want (and expect) and wha-laa fizzy yellow beer that is consumed by zillions of people. what we found echos our previous findings:you can taste the difference between all four of these beers.they aren't very good when you compare this beers to craft beer.in the right context any of these beers could be refreshing.if you do your homework you may come to a similar conclusion.homework:get four factory beers and try them side-by-side-by-side-by-side. you don't have to drink the whole beer. be sure to talk about the things that you are tasting: sweet, bitter, crispness, mouth feel and the carbonation. bonus homework is to compare the same beer in bottles and cans because there is a difference sometimes. the cans are better.beer on the show:Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors and Coors LightDogfish Head Festina Pechecall the Beer School Robot!424-242-3375Beer School everywhere:http://www.facebook.com/beerschool http://youtube.com/beerschoolFollow JohnFoster and BeerSchool on Twitter.comBe sure to visit City Beer Store, Toronado and 21st Amendment in San Francisco, CAEmail us at info@beerschool.comGood noon!

IPA Day

Jesse Friedman and Damian Fagan of Almanac Beer Company stopped by to talk about their beer and what it's about. it's an interesting take on how to launch into the brewing business. which is to start of brewing smaller batches of seasonal beer which you can hear about on the podcast or read on the Almanac website. before the name was Almanac it was going to be called Old Oak Beer Company. but a deep trademark search showed that they might have problems with that name so the two owners decided to rebadge the company prior to having any beer in the market to avoid future confusion. barrel aged beers have proven to be popular in market. and while European beers have been made in wood barrels for centuries it hasn't been until the last decade that barrel aging was done in the American market. and this is especially true for beer distributed outside of the brewing area done intentionally instead of just a brewers experiment made as a novelty for the people that visit the brewery.somebody will point out that some US breweries have had their beer on wood since they started brewing it. yet it's not the flavor of the wood that is the reason. in the case of beer that is "Beechwood Aged" the wood is used to increase the surface area available to the yeast. it also makes a neat marketing differentiation for the product.the homework was to try beer that is barrel aged. we gave a few examples on the show. and if you aren't sure what is or isn't a beer from a barrel program ask your retailer or beer geek. or you can ask here as well.http://www.almanacbeer.com/call the Beer School Robot!424-242-3375Beer School everywhere:http://www.facebook.com/beerschool http://youtube.com/beerschoolFollow JohnFoster and BeerSchool on Twitter.comBe sure to visit City Beer Store in San Francisco, CAEmail us at info@beerschool.comGood noon!

Imperial Irish Coffee Chocolate Milk Oatmeal Oyster StoutStout is a very old style of beer. It's been around since 1700's at least. The style has always been loved but it's not always been popular. The running joke is "want a knife and fork to go with your beer" is unfounded. Stout, while thick and creamy, is often lighter, smoother and more flavorful then some icky American lagers. There are many different recipes for Stout including: Irish, Imperial, Milk, Oatmeal, Chocolate, Coffee and Oyster. Some consider the Porter style to be a Stout as well as the Stout style grew out of Porter beer. Today most breweries consider the styles to be distinct. Beers on the show:Almost every kind of stout.

Fruit BeerLots of people have the impression that fruit beer is "girly beer." That it tastes like sugared up soda pop. Fact is, fruit beer has been made for centuries. While some beers are made for a specific market and in fact do taste like sugar water some fruit beer can be more complex than wine. Exploring these wonderful beers can be lots of fun. We've chosen some of our favorites for the show.Beers on the show:Marin Brewing BlueberryPyrimid ApricotLeinenkugel Brewing     Berry Weiss     Honey WeissCoconut Porter Maui BrewingNew Glarus Wisconsin Belgian RedNew Glarus Raspberry TartMcMenamins Ruby21st Amendment Water Melon WheatHomework: try some fruit beers with your friends. report about what you like and don't like.

Fruit Beer Lots of people have the impression that fruit beer is "girly beer." That it tastes like sugared up soda pop. Fact is, fruit beer has been made for centuries. While some beers are made for a specific market and in fact do taste like sugar water some fruit beer can be more complex than wine. Exploring these wonderful beers can be lots of fun. We've chosen some of our favorites for the show. Beers on the show: Marin Brewing Blueberry Pyrimid Apricot Leinenkugel Brewing Berry Weiss Honey Weiss Coconut Porter Maui Brewing New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red New Glarus Raspberry Tart McMenamins Ruby 21st Amendment Water Melon Wheat Homework: try some fruit beers with your friends. report about what you like and don't like.

Root BeerRoot Beer is the invention of Charles E. Hires. As legend has it he discovered, developed, stumbled upon or borrowed (aka stole) the recipe while on his honeymoon. Charles trained as a pharmacist so he was probably keen to tastes and smells. He also was aware of what people liked of didn't like as they were sure to complain while picking up the stuff to end what ailed them. Hires become the tycoon of root beer overseeing it's production until 1925 when his son's took over the business. He died in 1937.There is no right way to make root beer. Brewers from around the world are up to the task of developing their own take. Several things is consistent though: it should have bite, it should feel creamy, adn the head should be big for this sassy drink to be considered classic. links:High Fructose Corn Syrup is okay to eat "fact" site.http://www.hfcsfacts.com/Barq's podcast about root beer.http://www.barqs.com/homework:Get a bunch of different Root Beers from your market and have a tasting party. everyone, especially the kids, are welcome to join in. be sure to get some awesome ice cream to make floats.

One Beer One Hundred DaysThe homework is what defined this show which was to buy two cases of something fresh then drink a beer every three days for 100 days. You have to take notes as you go noted that "nothing changed" or "it's changing" or "I like/don't like it anymore." It's the freshness experiment.Part of idea of doing this homework comes from us noting how beer changes over time at breweries that we visit. Sometimes beer changes for the better as it ages. We've also noticed that beer peaks. It gets really good at some point in it's life but from then on it's never as good. There are many factors that make a beer change over time some of these things act in tandem. Heat, light, cold, varying temperature, and time. HomeworkSee above.

Repeal DayProhibition was repealed earlier in 1933 but the change to the amendement did not come into affect until December the 5th.

we're going on a field trip using the time machine. you don't need a signed permission slip. most of you won't need to worry about running into yourself but do leave your technology behind to avoid the off chance of losing it in the past. October of 1998 in Napa California our destination to hear Fritz Maytag speaking at the Northern California Homebrewers Festival. time travel being what it is lands us in mid sentence skipping the introduction. so it's a bit confusing for a minute. I think its worth hearing as it offers a perspective to what is happening in brewing today.Fritz talks for 26 minutes. if you get board or can't stand the audio skip ahead. nobody will be offended. sorry about the audio quality. remember it's 1998 and it's pretty good considering the source. remember... time travel responsibly. link: http://www.valhallabrewing.com/dboard/dbnewsl/t9811fritzmaytag.htmBeer School everywhere:http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6351328213 http://youtube.com/beerschoolFollow JohnFoster and BeerSchool on Twitter.comHost: John Foster and MotorGuest: ThorBe sure to visit City Beer Store in San Francisco, CAEmail us at info@beerschool.comGood noon!
