Beer Hops
Records indicate that the first man to have had beer lived around 9,000 years ago. Curiously though, it’s not been long since people started using hops as a preservative for beers, or for adding aroma and flavor. Today, not using hops for the beer is unthinkable. It not only conserves the freshness of the product but also improves the beer taste. Your favorite drink is sure to smell different.
Craft Malting
Craft Malting is Ready for Prime Time. Here’s What You Should Know. It was bound to happen. We have new & experimental hop varieties, small yeast suppliers, and now — craft maltsters. I’ve been seeing the words like “craft malting” and “micro malting” and “floor malting” before, but what do they mean? And what do they mean to homebrewers?
German Helles Exportbier
we’re getting exotic with Helles Exportbier. Now what exactly does that mean? I’m glad you asked! Helles means “bright” or “pale” in German, so we’re talking about a pale lager. Exportbier simply indicates that this beer was brewed a bit stronger to withstand travel and export back in the day before refrigeration. In terms of taste, Helles Exportbier is like the bigger, bolder cousin of regular Helles lager. It presents a soft, bready malt flavor but turns it up a notch in terms of body and mouthfeel. You’ll get more malt richness along with a hint of sweetness – think fresh baked bread, crackers, or vanilla.
American Amber Ale
Let’s talk about those flavorful American Amber Ales. As you can probably guess from the name, these ales pour a beautiful amber to copper color. They get their sweet, malty backbone from a healthy dose of caramel malts. But they still feature plenty of American hop character too.

Wet Hops Vs Dry Hops
Every homebrewer has used dry hops, those little pellets of aroma and flavor that have such a huge impact on your final product. You may even have a favorite hop variety, one that offers just the right flavor profile to tickle your particular taste buds. Most of us, however, have never used hops in their ‘raw,’ fresh form, also known as “wet hops.” That’s because hops must be used or dried fairly quickly after being harvested.

White IPA
Hey there beer pal! Let’s chat about bright, refreshing White IPAs. As you may have guessed, White IPAs blend the spicy, fruity yeast flavors of a Belgian Witbier with the tropical, citrusy hoppiness of an American IPA. They are straw to golden in color with a fluffy white head. You’ll immediately notice the lovely blend of orange, coriander, peppery yeast notes followed by mango, grapefruit, and pine hop flavors.
India Pale Ale – IPA
India Pale Ale is like, one of the hoppiest, most bitter beer styles out there. It was invented by the Brits back in the day when they were shipping beer to India. The hot climate and long journey wrecked the beer, so they packed it with extra hops as a preservative. All those hops made the beer crazy bitter though! These days, IPAs are totally hip with craft beer fans who dig intense hoppy flavors. The hops bring serious bitterness but also fruity, citrusy, piney flavors. The malts take a backseat, providing just enough sweetness to balance.
