The tradition of giving doppelbock beers names ending in "-ator" comes from the original doppelbock, called Salvator. This is actually a Paulaner beer, and mean “saviour” in Latin.<br /><br />It is interesting that the term “Salvator” became a generic name for German double bocks until the year 1894, when Paulaner bought a trade mark on the name. Since then the style has become known as doppelbock because it is similar to a regular bock, but produced with twice the malt (and generally twice the amount of fermentable ingredients).<br /><br />Although not the original doppelbock, Unser Burgerbrau Suffikator is a great bock, with a full malt taste which is well balanced by an abundance of hop character. The hops lend it a dry, bitter aftertaste. It also boasts a bouquet of fresh grains.<br /><br />DETAILS<br />Brewery: Unser Burgerbrau<br />Brewed in: Bad Fleichenhall, Bavaria<br />Beer style: Doppelbock<br />Appearance: dark golden<br />Strength: 6.8% ABV<br />Serving temperature: 48-50°F (9°-l0°C)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-7131482330952628410?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5ZPX6jf8E4Ym1_9QiY6XMZm2KjY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5ZPX6jf8E4Ym1_9QiY6XMZm2KjY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5ZPX6jf8E4Ym1_9QiY6XMZm2KjY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5ZPX6jf8E4Ym1_9QiY6XMZm2KjY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/fbm25G28KZs" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/fbm25G28KZs/unser-burgerbrau-suffikator-68-abv.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/08/unser-burgerbrau-suffikator-68-abv.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-1531741297136363344Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-08-11T05:50:00.232-07:00beerbeer chartenglish beer<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-RDrJkiHpI/AAAAAAAAA04/4epTQL3J_G4/s1600/fullers_esb_pint.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 373px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-RDrJkiHpI/AAAAAAAAA04/4epTQL3J_G4/s400/fullers_esb_pint.jpg" border="0" alt="Fuller's ESB" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468570256117210770" /></a><br /><br />The ESB beer style is almost entirely dominated by the English market, although the USA does make brew tasty examples. ESB is abbreviated from Extra Special Bitter, although the S can also stand for Strong. Indeed, they tend to be a little stronger in alcohol than normal English bitters (about 4.5% to 5.5% ABV), although their defining character is expert balance, despite very accentuated malt and hops.<br /><br />I have tasted 237 different ESBs so far, the best one being Ventnor brewery's Hop & Glory, which went down a treat and is one of the best English beers I've found to date. ESBs tends to be a little darker than ordinary bitters, and despite the word "bitter", the hop bitterness tends not to dominate at all. There is little carbonation to these beers, and there tends to be a pleasant toasty malt character.<br /><br /><font color='red'>1</font><div>beer: <b>Ventnor Hop & Glory</b><br/>rating: 84.23%<br/>5%

We are constantly always doing something. We are either at work or dealing with family issues. Whenever we have some time off of work, we like to go out with our family and enjoy a relaxing vacation. During those times, we especially enjoy going to Burton-on-Trent. We must say that Burton-on-Trent is a wonderful part of town that you can go in order to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Many refer to this town as Burton for short. This is a large town that is sitting on the River Trent to the east of Staffordshire, which is in England. As we write this article, we would like to share some interesting facts with you.</p><p>Burton is very popular for the brewing heritage that it has. Burton's great bridge that was going over the river Trent was not in good condition during the 1500's, but it served as a passage to and from many countries.</p><p>The population of this town is outstanding. During the 2001 Census, it showed a total population of 54, 348 people.</p><p>This town is also sitting within the National Forest, which adds even more beauty to it. There is confusions to the matter asking is Burton is based in the East Midlands or in the West Midlands. The Burton-on-Trent railway station is serving this town.</p><p>The quality of the local water has high proportions of dissolved salts, which is why it is associated as being a brewing industry. In turns, this allows for a larger proportion of hops, which is a natural preservative to be included in the alcohol. This also allows the beer to be shipped further away. The open land around and within the town is protected from chemical treatment in order to preserve the quality of the water.</p> </div><br /><br /> <div><br /> <p>For a wide selection of <a target="_new" href="http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/burtonon.html">Burton-on-Trent hotels</a> just click <a target="_new" href="http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/burtonon.html">here</a></p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-5664407085838618803?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/SQ6PrV_efRX1WAqz_vmnIE68rKI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/SQ6PrV_efRX1WAqz_vmnIE68rKI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/SQ6PrV_efRX1WAqz_vmnIE68rKI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/SQ6PrV_efRX1WAqz_vmnIE68rKI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/5zGDC-p9kPk" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/5zGDC-p9kPk/breweries-in-burton-on-trent-england.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/08/breweries-in-burton-on-trent-england.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-8102171871498509131Sat, 07 Aug 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-08-07T05:50:00.655-07:00beerbeer chartenglish beer<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-U3GjtVG2I/AAAAAAAAA1I/M3QzcxYwOjU/s1600/english_beers.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 227px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-U3GjtVG2I/AAAAAAAAA1I/M3QzcxYwOjU/s400/english_beers.jpg" border="0" alt="famous English beers" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468837908315446114" /></a><br /><br />I have had far more English beers than from any other country - almost 3000 now. I present here the Top 200 Chart. The most common style of English beer is the "bitter". Although several other countries attempt to brew bitters, you can only find genuine examples right here in England. We also brew several other distinctive examples, such as the English barley wine (very thick!), pale ales, old ales, ciders, and several others. The best I've found so far is the 2006 vintage of JW Lees Harvest Ale, brewed in Manchester. Here are my best 200 English beers so far.

at the Essex Food &amp; Drinks Awards 2008, The Axe &amp; Compasses in Aythorpe Roding, Dunmow.</p><p>Whether enjoying a home cooked meal, attending one of the numerous special events or just sampling one of the many guest ales, you can relax and enjoy stunning views of the Essex countryside at the Grade 2 listed 17th Century pub.

In the early 19th century, Napoleon abolished many of the country’s monasteries, and the monastery that was the original site of the Augustiner brewery was no exception. However, the tradition of monastic brewing was not dissolved. The Edelstoff brewery moved to its present site in 1817. <br /><br />There are only six breweries that are permitted to brew beer to the famous (infamous?) Munich Oktoberfest, and Augustiner is one of them. Talking about this festival, it originates from the marriage of King Ludwig I of Bavaria to Princess Theresa, and because of the strict rules surrounding the official festival, not even Prince Luitpold, a direct descendant of King Ludwig, is allowed to sell his beers there. This tradition only applies to the main festival, however, and there are many smaller beer festival around Munich at the same time, in which other breweries can and do participate.<br /><br />In addition to their Oktoberfest and Edelstoff varieties, Augustiner brews a crisp pale pilsner that has a malty, smooth feel about it, a dunkel lager with a an aromatic spicy taste, and a warming abbey-style double bock called Maximator, brewed for the cold winter months.<br /><br />DETAILS<br />Brewery: Augustiner Brau<br />Brewed at: Munich, Bavaria<br />Beer style: Dortmunder<br />Appearance: golden<br />Strength: 5.6% ABV<br />Serving temperature: 46°-48°F (8°-9°C<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-1020413276956858380?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kBkFIBS_PcXIBsH1ICAu1Gs6ZDw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kBkFIBS_PcXIBsH1ICAu1Gs6ZDw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kBkFIBS_PcXIBsH1ICAu1Gs6ZDw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kBkFIBS_PcXIBsH1ICAu1Gs6ZDw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/UoDPqHnMfpI" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/UoDPqHnMfpI/augustiner-edelstoff-56-abv-germany.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/08/augustiner-edelstoff-56-abv-germany.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-3354526789701967718Sun, 01 Aug 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-08-01T05:50:00.599-07:00pubsenglish beer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-araExosfI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/B9MMEr-A2Fc/s1600/london_real_ale_pub.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-araExosfI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/B9MMEr-A2Fc/s400/london_real_ale_pub.jpg" border="0" alt="a London real ale pub" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469247261934924274" /></a><br /><br /> <div id="body"><br /> <p>A city as culturally rich and diverse as London is bound to have a great number of historical pubs and buildings sprinkled throughout its centre, from the East End alleyways to Oxford Circus. And with real ale breweries still standing tall against the tyranny of fizzy lager and alcopops, there's never been a better time to sample the delights of Ye Olde London. But with so many establishments going for that 'authentic' look, how can one distinguish the genuine from the impostors? With this small guide, that's how. Of course, there are too many good old fashioned ale houses to possibly mention, so here's a shortlist of my favourites in no particular order. All of these alehouses can be visited in a single day. I'll try to keep the history lessons to a minimum.</p><p><b>The Black Friar</b></p><p>The Friar is a most peculiar tall wedge-shaped oddity, largely famous for the statue of a laughing monk that hangs above the main door. This delightfully bizarre Victorian building, built upon the site of a 13th century Dominican priory is host to an even more elaborate interior, decked out with illustrations and bronze reliefs of monks, and brilliant stained glass.</p><p><i>(Mon-Sat 11.30-23.00, Sun 12-22.30, nearest tube Blackfriars)</i></p><p><b>Old </b><b>Cheshire</b><b> Cheese </b></p><p>Entering the Old Cheshire Cheese is like walking through the wardrobe into Narnia. Best avoided by those suffering from claustrophobia, or the freakishly tall, it is easy to get lost in this dimly lit, low level maze of various rooms and restaurants. A cosy open fire greets visitors into a room that has been host to the likes of Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson.</p><p><i>(Mon-Sat 11.30-23.00, Sun, 12-15.00, Wine Office Court near Fleet Street, nearest tube Blackfriars)</i></p><p><b>Seven Stars</b></p><p>One of the few buildings on this list to have survived the Great Fire of London, the Seven Stars is a surreal, narrow little bar is usually packed with lawyers and the likes. The meals, though relatively pricey, are as good and plentiful as pub food can possibly get. Rather cramped, but all the more atmospheric for it, the pub is smothered in antiquities and old artwork. The Seven Stars most unusual regular is Tom Paine, a large black cat in a white ruffled collar who sits atop the bar like he owns the joint. I wouldn't mess with him.</p><p><i>(Mon-Sat 11.00-23.00, </i><i>Carey Street</i><i> nr </i><i>Lincoln</i><i>'s inn fields nearest tube Holborn)</i></p><p><b>Ye Olde Mitre</b></p><p>Discreetly tucked away in a small alley just off Ely Place, this Elizabethan alehouse has an old-world feel like no other, with both the exterior and exterior of the pub left mostly intact. The bar staff, decked in traditional attire, bow ties and aprons are the friendliest around. Despite its location and size, the Mitre does get very busy, so expect to stand. Men, be prepared to queue for the single toilet cubicle outside, though there is a woman's restroom inside.</p><p><i>(Mon-Fri 11.00-23.00, Ely Court, Ely Place, nearest tube </i><i>Chancery Lane</i><i>)</i></p><p><b>Cittie of </b><b>York</b></p><p>The Cittie was demolished and rebuilt in 1890 though parts of the original building still remain, and the cellar has been converted into a quirky, if somewhat white, downstairs bar. A good place for a quick lunch, there is a series of triangular coal fires that keep it nice and cosy during the winter. Some find the interior a little too standardized and manufactured. Usually full of office workers during the day and early evening.</p><p><i>(Mon-Sat 11.00-23.00, 22 High Holborn, nearest tube </i><i>Chancery Lane</i><i>)</i></p><p><b>Princess Louise </b></p><p>The interior of the Princess Louise, unlike many of its competitors, has been left pretty much intact from a, then modern, refurbishment back in 1891. Richly furnished in Victorian glasswork and ornate plasterwork and tiling, this bar is understandably one of the most popular historical pubs in London, and appeals to a very mixed crowd.</p><p><i>(Mon-Fri 11.00-23.00, Sat 12.00-23.00, 208-9 High Holborn nearest tube Holborn) </i></p><p><b>Punch Tavern </b></p><p>As much a restaurant as a pub, this recently refurbished bar may seem a little too modern for some tastes. A good place to stop off at for some decent quality food at a reasonable price. Situated along Fleet Street, the punch is an easy find, and can get very busy.</p><p><i>(Mon-Fri 11.30-23.00, Sat 11.30-18.00, Sun 12-15.00&amp;19.00-22.30, </i><i>99 Fleet Street</i><i>, nearest tube Blackfriars)</i></p><p><b>Salisbury</b></p><p>The Salisbury's lavish light fittings and etched glass interior really come to life when lit up in the evening, as does the pub itself which is bustling from the late afternoon onwards. During the day it is more of a quiet restaurant. Filled with nymphs and cherubs, this is one of the better traditional style Soho bars.</p><p><i>(Mon-Sat 11.00-22.30, Sun 12.00-23.00, 90 St Martins Lane, nearest tube </i><i>Leicester Square</i><i>) </i></p><p><b>Dog &amp; Duck</b></p><p>A very small little Soho pub, the Dog &amp; Duck attracts big street crowds during the warmer seasons. Covered wall to wall in original Victorian tiles and mirrors the interior is a sight to see, if you manage to squeeze in that far.</p><p><i>(Mon-Fri 12.00-23.00, Sat 18.00-23.00, Sun 19.00-22.30, Frith St/ Bateman Street, nearest tube </i><i>Tottenham Court</i><i> Rd)</i></p><p><b>Lamb &amp; Flag</b></p><p>Just off from Covent Garden, the Lamb &amp; Flag is a popular pub and lunchtime restaurant. Has a slightly standardized feel to it and does tend to pull in the tourists due to its location, but is slightly more spacious than many other historical alehouses. Nicely tucked away from the tourist ridden Covent Gardens, the Lamb 7 Flag is a good place for a breather.</p><p><i>(Mon-Thurs11.00-23.00, Fri-Sat 11.00-22.45, Sun 12.00-22.30, 33 Rose St, nearest tube </i><i>Covent Garden</i><i>)</i></p><p><b>Argyll Arms</b></p><p>This Victorian pub is still divided into three sections, still unchanged from the days of class separation, and is one of the few places to have kept such an interior intact. These carved wooden partitions, with decorative interior windows are indeed stunning, but can make the place seemed cramped during its busy hours, which is pretty much all day long.</p><p><i>(Mon-Sat 11.00-23.00, Sun 12.00-21.30, 18 Argyle St, nearest tube </i><i>Oxford</i><i> Circus)</i></p> </div><br /> <div><br /> <p>Carl Doherty created <a target="_new" href="http://www.shelfabuse.com">http://www.shelfabuse.com</a> under supervision of his doctor, who conceived the criticism and categorisation of every film that Carl watches as a way of tackling his obsessive compulsive disorder.

I made the decision in 2003 to include ciders (and perries) in my beer chart, as in England, cider is packaged, sold and consumed much like beer. In recent years in England, there has a been huge resurgence in interest in cider, thanks mostly to Magners Irish Cider. Although the traditional strong rustic examples still reside there in the background, the market is now dominated by the 4.5% easy-drinking and fruity ciders.<br /><br />I've found that cider is treated differently in different countries. The French brew refined but weak ciders, consumed almost like weak table wines, whereas the Baltics treat ciders more like "fun" drinks, with strange flavours and colourful cans (the best cider I've found so far is Lucky Dog Kiwi, from Latvia - absolutely heavenly!). I was very pleased a few years ago to actually find a German cider (Apfelwein), which was a farmhouse cider, very rustic, and sold in huge 2 liter bottles. And let's not forget the Swedes increasing domination of the cider market, in particular the Kopparberg brewery and their wide range of different flavours, now sold ubiquitously in supermarkets.<br /><br /><font color='red'>1</font><div>beer: <b>Latvijas Balzams Lucky Dog Cider Sweet Kiwi</b><br/>rating: 84.73%<br/>6% ABV<br/>word: exotic<br/>brewed: Latvia</div> <br /><font color='red'>2</font><div>beer: <b>(unknown) Asda Fruit Cider</b><br/>rating: 81.86%<br/>5.5% ABV<br/>word: cherry-juice<br/>brewed: Belgium</div> <br /><font color='red'>3</font><div>beer: <b>Sheppy's Cider With Honey</b><br/>rating: 81.53%<br/>5.4% ABV<br/>word: complex<br/>brewed: England</div> <br /><font color='red'>4</font><div>beer: <b>Latvijas Balzams Lucky Dog Cider Apple-Vanilla</b><br/>rating: 80.68%<br/>6% ABV<br/>word: vanilla<br/>brewed: Latvia</div> <br /><font color='red'>5</font><div>beer: <b>Saxon Cider Greensleeves</b><br/>rating: 80.51%<br/>7.2% ABV<br/>word: peppermint<br/>brewed: England</div> <br /><font color='red'>6</font><div>beer: <b>Stassen Jacques Fruits des Bois Fruit Cider</b><br/>rating: 79.84%<br/>5.5% ABV<br/>word: exotic<br/>brewed: Belgium</div> <br /><font color='red'>7</font><div>beer: <b>Tomos Watkin Taffy Apples</b><br/>rating: 79.5%<br/>6% ABV<br/>word: outstanding<br/>brewed: Wales</div> <br /><font color='red'>8</font><div>beer: <b>Sheppy's Taylor's Gold</b><br/>rating: 79.5%<br/>6% ABV<br/>word: chew-its<br/>brewed: England</div> <br /><font color='red'>9</font><div>beer: <b>Ecusson Grand Cidre</b><br/>rating: 78.82%<br/>5% ABV<br/>word: pear-drops<br/>brewed: France</div> <br /><font color='red'>10</font><div>beer: <b>Kopparberg Blueberry</b><br/>rating: 78.15%<br/>4.5% ABV<br/>word: gorgeous<br/>brewed: Sweden</div> <br /><font color='red'>11</font><div>beer: <b>Herrljunga Swedish Pear Cider</b><br/>rating: 77.81%<br/>4.5% ABV<br/>word: sweet-freshness<br/>brewed: Sweden</div> <br /><font color='red'>12</font><div>beer: <b>Kopparberg Raspberry Light</b><br/>rating: 77.14%<br/>4.5% ABV<br/>word: fruity<br/>brewed: Sweden</div> <br /><font color='red'>13</font><div>beer: <b>Escaniador Sidra Asturiana</b><br/>rating: 76.8%<br/>4% ABV<br/>word: super-sweet<br/>brewed: Spain</div> <br /><font color='red'>14</font><div>beer: <b>H.

You know them because of the incessant television advertising they do, as well as the big displays and shelf space in just about any liquor store you happen to stroll into. And those beers certainly have their place. For instance, let's say you're a hard-working individual. Maybe you're a Sacramento precast electrical accessory dealer (ok, that's pretty specific, but you get the point) who has had a long day. You get home, reach into the fridge, and pull out one of those macro brews. You stand out on your porch, let the sun hit your face, and take a sip of the ice cold, golden lager. It tastes pretty good and might just help you forget for a second all the pressure and responsibility in your life. It sure feels like good living, and it may be. But is there more?</p><p>If you live in California, you bet there's more. Many of the world's top craft brewers reside in California, and it seems more are opening their doors every day. Many don't have national distribution, so if you want to sample their beer, you're either going straight to the brewery or you live close enough to be within their distribution zone. If you're that dealer from the example before, you probably could make a Fontana electrical equipment enclosure sales call and see one or two great breweries on the drive. Of course, if you already like your macro brews, what reason do you have to change? For many people, there is every reason in the world to start drinking the interesting concoctions that only come in smaller batches.</p><p>For instance, beer is brewed all over the world, in all sorts of styles. The Germans know a thing or two about beer, as do the monks of Belgium. In fact, you'll find world-class breweries in places you may not think, like Japan and Brazil. When you think about all the types of beers out there, it's pretty limiting to only drink a couple. And while a light lager can be nice on a warm sunny day, a thick stout has its place when it's cold and a hoppy India Pale Ale is a refreshing option on a nice day. The point is, if you're in California and you need to make that Fontana precast electrical equipment enclosure sales call, do a little research first. Check out the little microbreweries that are within driving distance and make a quick stop. You might have to drink one of their "starter" beers that's a little less challenging, but you'll be well on your way to appreciating one of California's hidden treasures.</p> </div><br /><br /> <div><br /> <p>If you need a hard-to-source <a target="_new" href="http://www.jensenprecast.com/products/Electrical/Accessory">Sacramento precast electrical accessory</a> Jensen Precast is your one stop.

Originally known as Beck & May, the brewery was named after two of its three owners, Heinrich Beck, a brewer, and Thomas May, a businessman. Early innovations included the installation of a laboratory to develop pure cultures of the highest quality yeast, in order to ensure consistency in the finished product.<br /><br />In order for a beer to gain global popularity, it has to travel well, and this fact was considered very early on. The plan succeeded, and now it is the most famous German beer in the world, with over 30 million cases exported to more than countless countries every year.<br /><br />Something in Becks favour is that, while many breweries allow their beers to be brewed under license in foreign countries, every bottle of Becks is brewed at the Bremen plant, in accordance with the German purity laws.<br /><br />The original Becks beer, a standard pilsener, is a dry, crisp beer with a clean aroma of hay and hops. The palate is full of hop bitterness, as well as overtones of clean malt sweetness. Its finish is hoppy and dry. I’m not personally a big fan of Becks, simply because I’m more for the “little guy”, but I have to admit it’s a thirst-quencher.<br /><br />The brewery also produces a dark Munich-style lager and a strong, dry, malty Oktoberfest beer, as well as alcohol-free and light versions of its Pilsner.<br /><br />DETAILS<br />Brewery: Brauerei Beck<br />Brewed at: Bremen<br />Beer style: Pilsner<br />Appearance: pale golden<br />Strength: 5% ABV<br />Serving temperature: 46°F (8°C)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-4950530896477214933?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7qjnx8FJIiNRtFQ2-UjGiSSEb84/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7qjnx8FJIiNRtFQ2-UjGiSSEb84/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7qjnx8FJIiNRtFQ2-UjGiSSEb84/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7qjnx8FJIiNRtFQ2-UjGiSSEb84/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/3lEkD6-29f0" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/3lEkD6-29f0/becks-beer-5-abv-germany.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/07/becks-beer-5-abv-germany.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-6137900457008750496Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-07-24T05:50:00.419-07:00beerbeer cultureamerican beer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-anbyU1pyI/AAAAAAAAA4I/krorIyfh9YQ/s1600/st_louis_usa.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 186px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-anbyU1pyI/AAAAAAAAA4I/krorIyfh9YQ/s400/st_louis_usa.jpg" border="0" alt="St. Louis, USA" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469242893295527714" /></a><br /><br /> <div id="body"><br /> <p>Within fifty years of St. Louis' incorporation, 43 percent of all residents were born in either Ireland or Germany. In addition to its skilled immigrant population, St. Louis offered all the other right ingredients for making beer-it was on the train route to the wheat fields of the country, it was near fresh water, and best of all, it was pitched on top of a limestone cave system that could be used for cooling and preserving beer all summer. The stage was set for creating one of the greatest beer cities in the world. And although many excellent brewers have come and gone from the St. Louis landscape, one could argue that the history of St. Louis beer is primarily a tale of two brewing families: the Lemp family and the Anheuser-Busch family.</p><p>The dramatic saga of the Lemp brewing family, a tale of fame, fortune, scandal and suicide, began in 1838 when Johann Adam Lemp opened his first grocery store in St. Louis. Lemp appealed to his market with two specialty items which he made himself: vinegar and lager beer. Lager beer was relatively unknown to the beer drinkers of the United States and its popularity soared. The term "lager" comes from the German word "lagern," which translates to mean "to stock, or store." The limestone caves beneath St. Louis would lend a hand to this beer manufacturing giant in its infancy, as it provided an inexpensive way for the yeast to settle in the beer before it was sold. By 1850, around 4,000 barrels of beer were being produced annually by Lemp, establishing it as one of the most significant breweries in St. Louis.</p><p>In 1862, Adam Lemp passed away and left the brewery to his son, William Lemp. With Lemp's strong business acumen, the brewery swelled to produce 100,000 barrels a year in 1878. Lemp's brewery was the first to implement a national shipping strategy, and even had its own railroad. In 1904, William Lemp, Sr. committed suicide following the mysterious death of a favorite son. The vast empire was inherited by William Lemp, Jr. Prohibition closed in on the family, and although the brewery limped along in soft drink manufacturing, the equipment reportedly began to rust from being unused. The property was sold off at one-tenth its value, and Lemp, Jr. committed suicide shortly thereafter.</p><p>What is today one of the largest breweries in the world began humbly enough, by a soap manufacturer named Eberhard Anheuser in 1852. Five years later the master entrepreneur Adolph Busch would arrive on the scene, and marry Anheuser's daughter Lilly. The Anheuser-Busch brand was born. By 1880, Adolph Busch's fortunes were estimated to be close to $2million and by 1901 there were one million barrels in production.</p><p>The laws of Prohibition became a death knell for the large manufacturers of beer, and a boon to the craftsmen and the bootleggers. For 13 years Anheuser-Busch's productions ground almost to a halt while they boiled off the alcohol to create "near beer" and soda pop. When Prohibition ended retraining the American palate, which had grown used to the sweet brew of bootleggers, proved an uphill challenge for the marketing department. They developed a campaign around "The Five Day Test" in which beer drinkers were encouraged to drink Budweiser for five days, and then sample the sweeter bootlegged beers. Slowly, Anheuser-Busch's sales climbed. By 1964 there were ten million barrels in production, and by 1997 there would be more than 100 million barrels produced annually. Today Anheuser Busch produces two popular beers, Budweiser and Bud Light, and has 12 breweries in the United States, in addition to operations around the globe.</p><p>The Lemp family and the Anheuser-Busch family have laid a strong foundation and St. Louis is destined to remain a top destination for sampling great beers. Recently there has been a resurgence in smaller, craft breweries. Schlafly and Morgan Street Brewery have won numerous awards for their beers, and every year St. Louis sponsors St. Louis Craft Beer Week in which residents and tourists can tour and sample at the many craft breweries in the area. It remains to be seen which of these small craft beers will surge to the top of the pile and become the next merchant king of the St. Louis beers.</p> </div><br /><br /> <div><br /> <p>Lisa Brown is a Sales and Marketing Associate for Almost Home USA (<a target="_new" href="http://www.almosthomeusa.com/corporate-housing-st-louis.html">Corporate Housing St. Louis</a>), a corporate housing company whose goal is to provide such excellent experiences that clients feel almost home.</p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-6137900457008750496?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/I9OQ96n5EqO8jZv2zTCe_pYsLpk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/I9OQ96n5EqO8jZv2zTCe_pYsLpk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/I9OQ96n5EqO8jZv2zTCe_pYsLpk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/I9OQ96n5EqO8jZv2zTCe_pYsLpk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/QsQ1I_AtsBg" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/QsQ1I_AtsBg/st-louis-usa-beer-history-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/07/st-louis-usa-beer-history-and.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-7548969697731961232Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-07-22T05:50:00.413-07:00Danish beerbeerbeer chart<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-MoVDSDK5I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/-5DkSim6uB4/s1600/danish_beer_taps.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-MoVDSDK5I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/-5DkSim6uB4/s400/danish_beer_taps.jpg" border="0" alt="Danish craft beer taps" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468258714681289618" /></a><br /><br />Many people associate Danish beer with Carlsberg, but there is so much more to their brewing industry. Ceres is another popular brewery, and the best Danish beer I've tasted so far (out of 26) is their Strong Ale Export. I actually feel a little embarrassed saying that, because it's not exactly a wholesome craft ale. The Danish beer market has in recent years welcomed a newcomer, Mikkeller, which produces a wide range of differing beer styles, and the brewery abides by American brewing standards. (Mikkeller has actually partnered up with similar craft brewers around the world, such as Scotland's BrewDog, as well as a Dutch brewery). I'm sure an updated version of this chart over the coming couple of years will see Mikkeller at the top. Nevertheless, some great Danish beers so far (and some not so great).<br /><br /><br /><font color='red'>1</font><div>beer: <b>Ceres Strong Ale Export (Royal Selection)</b><br/>rating: 72.24%<br/>7.7% ABV<br/>word: warming<br/>style: Euro strong lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>2</font><div>beer: <b>Ceres Old 9</b><br/>rating: 67.68%<br/>9.1% ABV<br/>word: warming<br/>style: Euro strong lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>3</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Christmas Beer (Carls Jul)</b><br/>rating: 67.675%<br/>5.6% ABV<br/>word: tasty<br/>style: märzen</div> <br /><font color='red'>4</font><div>beer: <b>Ceres Red Eric</b><br/>rating: 67.512%<br/>6.5% ABV<br/>word: red-fruits<br/>style: fruit beer</div> <br /><font color='red'>5</font><div>beer: <b>Mikkeller Jackie Brown</b><br/>rating: 65.32%<br/>6% ABV<br/>word: burnt-barley<br/>style: American brown ale</div> <br /><font color='red'>6</font><div>beer: <b>Mikkeller Stateside IPA</b><br/>rating: 63.29%<br/>7% ABV<br/>word: malty<br/>style: American IPA</div> <br /><font color='red'>7</font><div>beer: <b>Ceres Top Royal</b><br/>rating: 61.6%<br/>5.6% ABV<br/>word: fresh-hops<br/>style: dortmunder</div> <br /><font color='red'>8</font><div>beer: <b>Tuborg Julebryg (Christmas Brew)</b><br/>rating: 61.26%<br/>5.6% ABV<br/>word: lacking<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>9</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Elephant Beer</b><br/>rating: 59.7425%<br/>7.5% ABV<br/>word: strong<br/>style: Euro strong lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>10</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Special Brew</b><br/>rating: 59.15%<br/>9% ABV<br/>word: soapy<br/>style: Euro strong lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>11</font><div>beer: <b>Tuborg Pilsener</b><br/>rating: 59.07%<br/>4.6% ABV<br/>word: fruity-hops<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>12</font><div>beer: <b>Albani Giraf Strong</b><br/>rating: 58.56%<br/>7.3% ABV<br/>word: rice<br/>style: Euro strong lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>13</font><div>beer: <b>Tuborg Gold Label</b><br/>rating: 58.56%<br/>5.5% ABV<br/>word: clear<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>14</font><div>beer: <b>Albani Marks & Spencer Sørensen Premium Lager</b><br/>rating: 58.56%<br/>5% ABV<br/>word: tangy<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>15</font><div>beer: <b>Ceres Top Pilsner</b><br/>rating: 55.52%<br/>4.6% ABV<br/>word: fresh<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>16</font><div>beer: <b>Faxe Scandia Pilsener</b><br/>rating: 54.51%<br/>3.4% ABV<br/>word: flavoury<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>17</font><div>beer: <b>Faxe 10% Extra Strong Beer</b><br/>rating: 54.51%<br/>10% ABV<br/>word: alcohol<br/>style: malt liquor</div> <br /><font color='red'>18</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Jacobsen Saaz Blonde</b><br/>rating: 54.17%<br/>7.1% ABV<br/>word: dry<br/>style: Belgian strong pale ale</div> <br /><font color='red'>19</font><div>beer: <b>Ceres Royal Export</b><br/>rating: 54%<br/>5.8% ABV<br/>word: average<br/>style: dortmunder</div> <br /><font color='red'>20</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Carlsberg Beer</b><br/>rating: 52.48%<br/>5.2% ABV<br/>word: average<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>21</font><div>beer: <b>Faxe Viborg Pils</b><br/>rating: 52.48%<br/>4.5% ABV<br/>word: sweet<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>22</font><div>beer: <b>Faxe Faxe Premium</b><br/>rating: 51.672%<br/>5% ABV<br/>word: average<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>23</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Jacobsen Bramley Wit</b><br/>rating: 51.47%<br/>4.6% ABV<br/>word: wheaty<br/>style: witbier</div> <br /><font color='red'>24</font><div>beer: <b>Carlsberg Carlsberg Export</b><br/>rating: 48.43%<br/>5% ABV<br/>word: crap<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>25</font><div>beer: <b>Harboes Bjørne Bryg (Bear Beer)</b><br/>rating: 46.4%<br/>4.9% ABV<br/>word: hoppy<br/>style: Euro pale lager</div> <br /><font color='red'>26</font><div>beer: <b>Faxe Viborg Lager</b><br/>rating: 40.32%<br/>2.3% ABV<br/>word: weak<br/>style: low alcohol beer</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563";

This full-flavoured Pilsner beer was launched in the 1930’s by the Binding brewery of Frankfurt and is named after the ancient city hall. It is an authentic classic Pilsner and has a crisp, refreshing flavour with a herby, spicy hop character, leading to a dry, bitter hop finish.<br /><br />Romer Pilsener Spezial is another version of this beer, and is the brewery “premium pilsener. The wide range of Binding beers also includes a full-flavoured malty Export, a dark, fruity altbier called Kutscher Alt, and a strong, dark double bock with a complex fruity flavour, called Carolus der Starke, named after Karl the Great, one of the founders of Frankfurt.<br /><br />The label features Frankfurt’s eagle emblem, and this Pils beer is by far the most famous light beer sold in the region. Other beers in the portfolio are Ice, Export, Black Lager and of course the Marzen.<br /><br />DETAILS<br />Brewery: Binding Brauerei<br />Brewed at: Frankfurt<br />Beer style: Pilsner<br />Appearance: golden straw<br />Strength: 4.9% ABV<br />Serving temperature: 46°F<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-5958385680201765245?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3AuYeHt1tnVVQNuwnKePmtAOguQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3AuYeHt1tnVVQNuwnKePmtAOguQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3AuYeHt1tnVVQNuwnKePmtAOguQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3AuYeHt1tnVVQNuwnKePmtAOguQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/lR7de5nIsuk" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/lR7de5nIsuk/romer-pils-49-abv-germany.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/07/romer-pils-49-abv-germany.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-2658920714829289263Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-07-16T05:50:00.549-07:00pubsaustralian beer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-apwkRgilI/AAAAAAAAA4w/4tgub_Di-H8/s1600/sydney_australian_hotel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-apwkRgilI/AAAAAAAAA4w/4tgub_Di-H8/s400/sydney_australian_hotel.jpg" border="0" alt="Sydney's Australian Hotel Pub" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469245449323973202" /></a><br /><br /><div id="body"><br /> <p>What happens in the city Sydney when the sun goes down?

The English variety bares similarity to English bitters, with plentiful hop bitterness, but I can often tell the different in overall taste. In my opinion, pale ales tend to be that little bit more citrus lemony in their hop character. I have tried 570 different English pale ales so far, and although most of them are indeed brewed in England (with English ingredients), there are a few brewed globally in the English pale ale style, such as Mexico's Casta Bruna Pale Ale. The best pale ale I've found so far is the Boggart Brewery's version of it, brewed in Manchester, not far from my home town of Liverpool.<br /><br />The style originated from Burton-upon-Trent, using the hard water common to that area. English pale ales generally boast a good head of froth, with a medium golden to almost red appearance. Aromas tend to be somewhat malty, hoppy with hints of fruit and somewhat earthy.

/><br /><div id="body"><br /> <p>Until recently, the U.S. was viewed internationally as a backward, unsophisticated country when it came to our taste in beer. By far, our bestselling beers have long been from the major corporate breweries whose offerings don't exactly command respect from beer enthusiasts. But, over the last couple of decades, the rise of the microbrewery industry has injected new life into the American beer scene, and we're finally starting to get the respect we deserve.</p><p>Now, the next step is to begin developing a sense of what types of beers are best to serve with various meals. In beer-loving European countries like Belgium, Germany, and Scotland, they have this down to an art. You've heard of wine and food pairing, right? It's the same idea. It's about developing a sense of how to enhance a meal with your choice of beer, and vice-versa.</p><p><b>Light vs. Dark: </b>When determining whether to go with a light beer or a dark beer to accompany your meal, think about the relative heaviness of the beer and how it will compliment or distract from the meal. For instance, beers like wheat ales and blonde ales are very low in hoppiness and maltiness, which makes them taste light and thirst-quenching (even though some, particularly blonde ales, can be high in alcohol by volume). That's why they go so well with foods that are salty, spicy, or both. When eating something that's a bit hot, it's nice to have a soothing blonde ale to put the fire out.</p><p>Dark beers, on the other hand, tend to go great with cheese and even dessert. A brown ale can be the perfect accompaniment to a chocolaty dessert, while dark lagers go well with fruit cobblers or pumpkin pie.</p><p><b>Hoppiness: </b>In general, beers that have high hops content-such as India pale ales, pale ales, and German pilsners-have to be used with caution. Hops are strong and flavorful, and they can easily overpower meals with delicate or subtle flavors. This means it's a good idea to pair hoppy beers with meals that are equally bold in flavor.</p><p><b>Country of origin: </b>If you're cooking an ethnic or international-style meal, use a beer that is from that country, but avoid the stereotypical beer. For instance, if you want to pair an Italian beer with some Italian cuisine, stay away from the major Italian beermakers like Peroni and Morretti. Find an Italian beer that has a little more character. Of course, this guideline applies just as much to American food and beers.</p><p><b>Amber ale: </b>When all else fails, you'll rarely go wrong with a solid amber ale. It's the perfect accompaniment to everything from pizza, to sandwiches, to spicy food. If you want to impress people with your beer tastes, expand your knowledge about great American amber ales, and bring out a few of your favorites whenever you have people over.</p><p><b>Alcohol content: </b>If you're going to be serving multiple beers at a dinner party or an event, start with beers that have a lower alcohol content, and expand from there. Beers with high alcohol content fill people up more quickly, and they're also more likely to dull the taste buds.</p> </div><br /> <div><br /> <p>Caterina Christakos is a published author and reviewer.

Although it is described as a dark beer, this top-fermented wheat ale has a rather paler colour than other dark wheat beers. Nonetheless, it has an authentically malty, fruity bouquet, and a taste of sour wheat that is very well balanced. The flavour is also characterised by bitter, dry hops and paradoxically sweet malt.<br /><br />Unser Burgerbrau brews a wide range of Bavarian ales, produced according to time-honoured methods and traditional recipes since the 1600’s. The label of this Dunkelweizen advises pouring three-quarters of the bottle’s contents into the glass, then gently shaking to ensure the final pour brings the yeast sediment that gives the beer its character.

Brewdog recently recently released a 41% beer called Sink the Bismarck, but at the time of writing, Schorschbrau holds the title for world's strongest beer, at 43%, with the latest version of their Schorschbock. However, here is an interesting article with reviews for some of the world's strongest. Enjoy.<br /><br /><div id="body"><br /> <p>Let's get on with the beers.</p><p>5th strongest beer is the "Double Black", which is about 26% strong. The beer is brewed in Belgium by Dr Struise Brouwers. People that had a chance to taste it say, that the beers aroma has some dark chocolate notes, wood as well and that the taste is dried fruit and chocolate up front with some high abv notes.</p><p>4th strongest beer is the "Samuel Adams Utopias", which is about 27% strong. It is made in Massachusetts, United States by Boston Beer company (Samuel Adams). Reviewers say that it has the aroma of sweet maple syrup, caramel, toffee, malt, earthy and definite alcohol with a hint of chocolate and that it is one of the sweetest beers that they had.</p><p>3rd strongest beer is the "Dave", which is about 29% strong. It is brewed in Oregon, United States by Hair of the Dog Brewing Company. The smell of it is woody and earthy, leather, tobacco, almost spirits-like, raisins and light soy sauce. The taste, well Dave shows much of the same character that it does in aroma.</p><p>2nd strongest beer is the "Schorschbr&auml;u Schorschbock 31%", which is about 30.86% strong. The beer is brewed in Germany by Schorschbr&auml;u. People who tried it say that it has complex fiery-alcoholic aroma and the taste is incredibly strong, very alcoholic, like fire on the tongue and shows interesting fruity notes, like apricot.</p><p>1st strongest beer is the "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" which is around 32% strong. It is made in Scotland by BewDog. There aren't any reviews yet, because the beer has just been released, but it is known the it will be sold at the price of &pound;30 each and the warning on the label states: "This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost." Which makes us really interested in trying it out.</p><p>Hope this was interesting for you to read as it was interesting for me to write and hopefully someone will go on tour to try out all of these beers and gives his personal favorite</p> </div><br /> <div><br /> <p>If interested in floor lamps and want to know something about <a target="_new" href="http://www.halogenfloorlampguide.com">halogen floor lamp</a> ideas or choosing what to get, visit <a target="_new" href="http://www.halogenfloorlampguide.com">halogen floor lamp</a> guide.</p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-6535782311854759925?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xN_SG6043EJsAhskPPYCbwwFkQg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xN_SG6043EJsAhskPPYCbwwFkQg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xN_SG6043EJsAhskPPYCbwwFkQg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xN_SG6043EJsAhskPPYCbwwFkQg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/RkRswMJmhlI" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/RkRswMJmhlI/some-of-worlds-strongest-beers.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/07/some-of-worlds-strongest-beers.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-1530727520383928508Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-07-06T05:50:00.548-07:00beerCzech beerbeer chart<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-MhpsGFk4I/AAAAAAAAA0Q/iRdG1-wdc0E/s1600/czech_beers.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 187px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-MhpsGFk4I/AAAAAAAAA0Q/iRdG1-wdc0E/s400/czech_beers.jpg" border="0" alt="Czech beers" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468251372652958594" /></a><br /><br />The Czechs brew some amazing beers. The best one I've had the pleasure of tasting is Heban Czarne Piwo, brewed by the (real) Budweiser Budvar brewery. This black beer is one of the best beers in the world I've tasted so far. In total, I've found 137 beers from (and in) and Czech Republic. The only time I've been there was in 2006, when I visited Prague. It's an odd mix between old and new, and the beer (or "pivo") was very cheap!<br /><br />Before visiting, I'd always thought Czech beers were similar to German beers, but that can't be further from the truth. There are marked differences. Broadly speaking, the pilsners are more citrus fruity, and the dark beers are more chocolatey. There is a lot more to the Czech Republic than Pilsner Urquell.

You may be enjoying a healthy-sized plate of hot wings or succulent barbecue ribs, and you suddenly desire a cold beverage to help savor the enjoyment. No fizzy soda or plain glass of ice water will do - you need a beer, frosty and sharp with the right amount of flavor to compliment your meal. Why settle for a standard name brand, though, when you can try the unique taste of a drink brewed regionally? If you live in the Mid-Atlantic area - Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland, you'll find a host of micro-breweries to try.</p><p>So where are the best lagers? Next time you're browsing a specialty liquor store, or on the road and looking for an interesting attraction to tour, consider making the following stops along the way:</p><p><b>Weeping Radish Brewery - Outer Banks, NC</b></p><p>For over twenty years, the Weeping Radish has been the place to go for beach brewed goodness. Visitors to the Outer Banks can tour this working farm and eco-friendly brewery, where you'll find delicious pale ales and full-bodied lagers created in the old German style. Grab a case of homemade root beer to go, too, and try a cold wheat beer at the brewery's restaurant with some authentic Carolina BBQ.</p><p><b>Starr Hill Brewery - Charlottesville, VA</b></p><p>Based near the rolling hills and valleys of Shenandoah, Starr Hill is known for its award-winning tastes and trippy-looking labels. Beer connoisseurs may enjoy the Dark Starr Stout, described by the brewery as a liquid equivalent to "Grandma's pumpernickel bread," or the Festie, an Oktoberfest style lager.</p><p><b>Clipper City Brewing Company - Baltimore, MD</b></p><p>Organic beer? You bet! This Maryland brewery offers two varieties of organic beer - a traditional amber ale and a bold raspberry wheat. For others tastes, Clipper City has Holy Sheet, brewed in the manner of the old Belgian Abbey monks, and Peg Leg, a dark chocolate stout, among many others.</p><p>If the craving for a unique regional beer hits you, try any of these Mid-Atlantic brands. Just remember to drink responsibly and in moderation.</p> </div><br /><br /> <div><br /> <p>Kathryn Lively is a freelance writer specializing in articles on the <a target="_new" href="http://www.visitcurrituck.com">Outer Banks</a> and <a target="_new" href="http://www.noldecondos.com">downtown Richmond condos</a>.</p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-1915885056050038815?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Osn6cMlk69yPrw40EnPYdO3udDc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Osn6cMlk69yPrw40EnPYdO3udDc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Osn6cMlk69yPrw40EnPYdO3udDc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Osn6cMlk69yPrw40EnPYdO3udDc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/v0N3RUtozfY" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/v0N3RUtozfY/craft-beers-and-breweries-in-mid.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/07/craft-beers-and-breweries-in-mid.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-2988418580117833153Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-07-02T05:50:00.942-07:00beerAndechsergerman beer<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-VW86Bm4VI/AAAAAAAAA24/ZKBF8HFzj5s/s1600/andechser_doppelbock_dunkel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 109px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-VW86Bm4VI/AAAAAAAAA24/ZKBF8HFzj5s/s400/andechser_doppelbock_dunkel.jpg" border="0" alt="Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468872926879474002" /></a><br /><br />This dunkel doppelbock is a strong German dark beer brewed to 7%, produced by the Andechs brewery in the town of Andechs, Bavaria. Double bocks are stronger than the normal bock style, as they are produced with the use of a triple mash process to lend them greater alcohol strength as well as a fuller body. <br /><br />The “doppelbock” style is particularly popular in the south of Germany, and people surprising prefer to drink it in the spring. Andechser Doppelbock is however available all year round.<br /><br />This is a truly gorgeous beer with a herb character, dark fruits, as well as a delicate aroma of spices. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, with chocolate, raisins, caramel, chocolate and red fruits.<br /><br />DETAILS<br />Brewery: Andechs Klosterbrauerei<br />Strength: 7% ABV<br />Brewed at: Andechs, Bavaria<br />Serving temperature: 48.2°-50°F (9°-10° C)<br />Beer style: Doppelbock<br />Appearance: deep brown, with a pleasant off-white head<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2317082697340563"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "B3B3B3"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606158600243912714-2988418580117833153?l=beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8GFudFXY7E5T2vgrTXbyVQbuiTE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8GFudFXY7E5T2vgrTXbyVQbuiTE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8GFudFXY7E5T2vgrTXbyVQbuiTE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8GFudFXY7E5T2vgrTXbyVQbuiTE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/beer-craft/~4/-LOXdyUInOU" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beer-craft/~3/-LOXdyUInOU/andechser-doppelbock-dunkel-7-abv.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Neil Buckley)http://beers-ciders-pubs.blogspot.com/2010/07/andechser-doppelbock-dunkel-7-abv.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606158600243912714.post-8270494299666930575Wed, 30 Jun 2010 12:50:00 +00002010-06-30T05:50:00.284-07:00pubs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-ar-q5jEPI/AAAAAAAAA5o/jleAYvvhnrQ/s1600/kent_pub.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 187px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7o8SdS3qwN4/S-ar-q5jEPI/AAAAAAAAA5o/jleAYvvhnrQ/s400/kent_pub.jpg" border="0" alt="a village pub in Kent, England" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469247890643947762" /></a><br /><br /> <div id="body"><br /> <p>If you are looking to go out for a drink in Kent then you certainly have a considerable number of options. There are over 1700 pubs, bars and inns in Kent offering a diverse range of drinking experience. Also as diverse is the range of interesting names given to the public houses across Kent and this article aims to discuss some of those.</p><p>First of all lets look at the spread of pubs throughout Kent. As you would expect the majority of pubs are found in the major conurbations, with scatterings of pubs throughout the villages.</p><p>Looking at the leader board we can see that</p><p>Maidstone has 132 pubs<br /><br /><br>Canterbury has 124 pubs<br /><br>Rochester has 97 pubs<br /><br>Ashford has 87 pubs<br /><br>Gravesend has 87 pubs<br /><br>Sevenoaks has 77 pubs<br /><br>Tonbridge has 71 pubs<br /><br>Dover has 66 pubs<br /><br>Ramsgate has 64 pubs<br /><br>Dartford has 61 pubs<br /><br>Gillingham has 60 pubs</p><p>So, onto the names. The most popular name for pubs in Kent is "The Royal Oak". There are Royal Oak pubs in Ashford, Bexleyheath, Canterbury, Dartford, Dover, Edenbridge, Folkestone, Herne Bay, Romney Marsh, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells. Some places even have 2 Royal Oaks, and in total there are 19. Next most popular is the Red Lion, with 15 spread across the county and then the Kings Head, The Bull Inn and The Chequers Inn. The Bell Inn, The George Inn and The Wheatsheaf are also popular names.</p><p>Some of the less common names we have <br /><br>The Abergavenny Arms, Tunbridge Wells, originally called The Bull, but renamed in 1823 in honour of Lord Abergavenny who owned the property at the time.</p><p>The Barge, Gillingham, once stables for Admiralty offices, then fishermen's cottages and then a pub called The Cricketers. It was renamed in 1991.</p><p>The Cat Custard Pot in Paddlesworth, which used to be called the Red Lion, but when a new sign was required many years ago the artist drew something which more resembled a cat.</p><p>Looking deeper within the names we can see that in Kent the most common type of pub is the Inn, with nearly 200 occurrences. Common examples are The Bull Inn, The George Inn, The Bell Inn and The Chequers Inn. Less commonly we have Old Eden Inn, Man of Kent Inn, Britannia Inn, Junction Inn and Muggleton Inn to name but a few.</p><p>"Arms", is the next most common word to occur in pub names in Kent, with such names as The Kings Arms, The Foresters Arms, The Coopers Arms, Port Arms Inn, Fruiterers Arms, Town Arms and The Colyer Arms. There are 106 pubs across Kent with Arms in the name.</p><p>There are 43 pubs contain the word "Tavern" in their name, such as The Railway Tavern The Vale Tavern, Darenth Tavern and The Park Tavern</p><p>33 pubs contain the word "of " in their name, examples of this are The Prince of Wales, The Man of Kent, City of London, Duke of Kent, Beauty of Bath, Sovereign of the Seas and Heights of Alma</p><p>Also 33 pubs contain the word House in their name<br /><br /><br>e.g. The Old House At Home, The Albert Public House, The Halfway House and Red House</p><p>28 pubs are horse related, which is unsurprising as most pubs were originally coaching inns. Horses are usually White, Black or Olde, but can also be Hungry or Flying. Other Horse related pub names in Kent include The Horse Groom,Sea Horse and the Three Horse Shoes.</p><p>There are 26 pubs contain the word Head in their name<br /><br>The Kings Head, The Queens Head, The Dukes Head, Elephants Head, The Bulls Head, The Nags Head, Rodney's Head, Hogs Head, The Leopards Head, The Buffalo's Head, The Griffins Head, The Druids Head, Stags Head, Monks Head Public House, The Saracens Head, The Tigers Head</p><p>There are 22 pubs contain the word Bar in their name, which shows growing number of trendy bars catering for a more youthful client&egrave;le. Examples are O Neill s Irish Bar, Bar Coast, Harbour St Bar, Bar Vasa, Sloanes Bar</p><p>Finally 21 pubs contain the word Old or Olde in their name. <br /><br>The Old House At Home, The Olde Lantern Inn, The Old Ship, The Olde Coach Horses.</p><p>So there you have it. Kent is an excellent place to go out drinking you should easily be able to find something to suit your mood. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to the Nordenfeldt Tavern for a quick one.</p> </div><br /> <div><br /> <p>Andy Bowen is webmaster of <a target="_new" href="http://ukreccy.net/">UKReccy.net</a>.

So far, I have found 211 different beers that I would categorise as "fruit beer", although I have had a lot more that fit into other categories, such as fruit lambics. The best I have found is Van Honsebrouck's K8, which is an 8% ABV kriek (cherry) beer, which actually dominated as my best beer in the world for almost nine years.<br /><br />Sometimes real fruit is used in the brewing process (or added later), but these days mostly syrups or other methods are used to lend the beer its fruity character. The underlying beer is usually of an ale type, but the ale character is almost completely overshadowed by the fruit. Indeed, there is generally very little hop flavour, so that the fruit can dominate. The only exception to this are English fruit beers. Although very rare, the fruit in these English beers generally doesn't dominate, with the malt and hops very evident. Personally, I think that if you're going to brew a fruit beer, it should be a genuine one, brewed in the Belgian tradition.<br /><br /><font color='red'>1</font><div>beer: <b>Van Honsebrouck

While they are generally not considered the forefront of fine dining, there is no where else in the world where you find the kind of warmth that emulates from these locally owned and operated "public houses".</p><p>Contrary to popular belief, there is plenty of good food to be found in pubs, if know where to look. Generally pubs with more lunch patrons that advertise their food specials outside are going to have fresher food, and a cleaner kitchen. In most pubs that serve food, you are sure to find traditional meals like fish and chips and boiled dinner. Don't be afraid to branch out though! Pubs can have some of the finest soups and chowders you will ever have. One thing you will find goes well with all of the food in the pub is beer. If you simply ask for a "pint", expect a 20 oz. Guinness. There are usually many other styles of beer to be found, and you can also get half pints if you like.</p><p>Another great part about an Irish pub is the fact that generally they are usually family friendly until around 8 p.m. Of course you can find traditional pub games like darts and trivia, but the real fun is in talking to the locals. Many of them come specifically for the conversation, known as "craic." To add to the atmosphere, smoking is now no longer allowed inside pubs, so the outdoor areas have gotten a make over, and in many cases are protected from the elements. There's nothing quite like listening to some live traditional Irish music with a pint in hand, while meeting new friends. It's something everyone should experience on their next <a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.autoeurope.com/car-rental/Ireland.cfm">vacation in Ireland!</a></p> </div><br /> <div> <p>Article written by Hans Ericsson of Auto Europe.
