Choosing The Right Beer Bottles For Home Brewing
Article by Floyd P. Dietz
Beer has been around for centuries and for sure this beverage will continue to be with us for other millennia to come. The secret behind a beer’s taste does not only revolve in the ingredients a brewer uses but also in the type of the beer bottle it is stored, hence picking for the right beer bottles for home brewing is one of the things every home brewer must know.Where to Get Them
Beer bottles for home brewing is available in the internet, in the surplus stores, in the rummage sales and even in your neighborhood’s garage – they are practically everywhere. Since we are talking here about glass beer bottles that do not decompose, all you need to do is to sterilize them for a couple of time to make sure they are free from any microorganisms, and then they are ready to go!
But if you are the type who brewed beer for a particular occasion and would want to get customized glass beer bottles for home brewing then, the internet is where you should be. There are numerous stores that sell customized beer bottles at different shapes, color and even sold with attached capping machines to put on some home brewing beer bottle tops. You can start checking out beer drinking blogs in order to have idea where these trusted dealers are.
Beer Bottle Color
Beer bottles for home brewing, just like other types of beer bottles should either be dark brown or dark green in color. This is so to prevent ultraviolet beer degradation to occur, since it was out that light changes beer taste. It might be an interest though that some beer bottles are clear, similar to some best-selling beer found in the market – but these beers are constantly kept in dark cupboards perhaps for the same reason of not letting light damage the original beer taste.
Beer Bottle Size
This is entirely based on your preference, but paying attention to the size of your beer bottle for home brewing can save you from the hassle of decanting the yeast or other precipitated ingredients that may settle at the bottom of your beer bottle if they are too big – hey, you can not simply shake the bottle to mix them up. Moreover, the beer bottle size should just be enough for you to drink it bottoms up, since if there is much beer left, chances are they go to waste for drinking them after resealing may not taste as excellently as the first time it was opened.

Beer, Wine Reducing Diabetes Risk? Canada Pharmacy Online Provides Answers
People are always on the lookout for ways to lose weight easily, and if taking in wine and beer helps, some would not hesitate to go in for an occasional glass. Canada Pharmacy Online believes the answer lies in establishing the right balance between cutting down fatty foods and indulging in lifestyle habits.
Recent Study Partially Backs Weight Loss with Moderate Alcohol Theory
Recent obesity trends indicate about one third of the total adult population in the United States are obese. It amounts to higher risk of getting diabetes. Once people are affected by type 2 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, they are forced on insulin to control blood sugar levels. Patients buy Lantus for treatment of insulin-based diabetes.
A new review of previous studies raised hopes of people finding an easy lifestyle alternative in wine to fight weight gain.
The old theory of alcohol causing excessive weight gain is no longer valid. Limited intake of alcohol, according to the study results, protects against gaining weight. The study was published in Nutrition Reviews and analyses 31 earlier studies conducted between the years 1984 to 2010.
Analyses did not dispute the theory of heavy drinking resulting in weight gain, which was taken into consideration by earlier studies. There were no contradictions in this regard. Moderate consumption of alcohol actually reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by almost 30% depending on the type of beverage consumed. In other words, an occasional glass wine reduces risk of diabetes.
Studies also linked a high-fat diet to decreased molecular activity leading to type 2 diabetes. Research was conducted on both mice and humans revealing a pathway existed in beta cells of the pancreas leading to irregular rate of metabolism in several organs of the body. Canada Pharmacy Online points out metabolic defects then lead to diabetes as pancreatic cells failed to control sugar levels in the blood due to insufficient insulin secretion.
Contradictory Observations Leading To Inconclusive Results
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has connected unprocessed meat including steak and pork chops posing a 20% higher risk of diabetes in people who consume 4 ounces on a daily basis. Red meat was found to increase toxic chemicals capable of destroying beta cells that produce insulin. Nearly 200,000 volunteers offer dietary information regarding red meat intake. Results of the study have not been considered in the review, which makes it inconclusive in terms of considering external factors other than wine and beer affecting weight gain or loss.
Similarly, The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between the years 1997 and 2001 found a link between smoking and weight gain. People consuming excessive quantities of alcohol without smoking were found to put on more weight than people who consumed alcohol and smoked as well. Also, alcohol consumption affected men more than women in terms of weight gain.
Limitations in the review clearly indicate further research is needed to establish a clear link between the exact amount of alcohol intake, weight gain, and onset of type 2 diabetes. Big Mountain Drugs Canada has provided the answer. People can actually avoid alcohol in any form. Drinking lots of water every day and leading an active life is a better alternative to sustain good health, prevent weight gain and lifestyle diseases.

Beer Gardens – Microbrewery Craft Beer Basking In the Sun and Taking On Some Shade
Article by Marc Bayes
When you think of beer the word garden doesn’t seem to fit next to it. Sure hops are grown, same with barley, and rice but those ingredients are grown on farms not gardens. Nevertheless beer gardens are real things and they are beginning to catch a buzz around the states.
A beer garden is a large outdoor setting that’s shaded by trees, the ground is gravel not road, and the seats are communal benches not chairs. People come to a beer garden to enjoy beer, food, each others company, and the good ole outdoors. Rare that one sees this in the states since most establishments only offer a patio or terrace with tables and chairs. Communal seating? Doesn’t sound very American does it? That’s because beer gardens actually originated in Bavaria, Germany.
In the 19th century beer gardens began to spring up in Germany. King Ludwig I (King Louis I) ruled as did the dark lager. These lagers needed to be brewed in the winter since it had to be brewed at 4 and 8 degrees Celsius. In the summer these beers would be served but needed to remain cold as well. The breweries dug cellars into the banks of the river Isar in order to store the beer, covered these cellars with gravel for insulation, and finally planted chestnut trees so the leaves would shade the beer.
Since all of the large breweries were doing this and people still wanted to drink beer, these areas were quickly becoming hot spots for the people of large cities such as Munich. With gravel at your feet and shaded chestnut tress over your head the name Biergarten or beer garden quickly took it’s roots in the German culture.
Smaller breweries still existed in Munich at the time and were feeling the loss of patronage from the citizens of Munich and decided to petition King Ludwig I to forbid the selling of food at these establishments. While the king granted this the larger breweries allowed customers to bring their own food. It was quite a battle over patrons, one that would rival America’s gas wars in the 1980′s. Later the decree that no food would be served was removed but according to the Bayerische Biergartenverordnung (beer garden decree) patrons in Germany are still allowed to bring their own food to the gardens.
Beer gardens while popular in Germany have only just started to take their roots in America. The oldest garden in the United States is Bohemian Hall, New York. Serving sausages and traditional German fare and beer. While they don’t serve a lot of craft beer, they do serve some micro breweries, and the beer drinking community of New York is brought to together every weekend at Bohemian Hall.
Stone Brewing has opened Stone World Bistro and Beer Garden in Escondido, California. This establishment is completely opposite to Bohemian Hall. The establishment is beyond beautiful and very lavish with leather and oak all over. Offering 120 bottles of craft beer and 33 micro breweries on tap. That’s a lot of beer. Not one beer offered is a light lager (fizzy and macro brewed), the only beer offered is exceptional micro brewery craft beer.
The food at World Bistro is considered top notch for the United States. Nothing but organic and locally raised graces their menu. They take absolute pride in what they serve showcasing steaks, pork, greens, and deserts that not only look fantastic but deliver on flavor; just like Stone’s Beer.
Beer gardens are appearing all over the United States. These are just two examples of beer gardens you can visit either on the east or west coast. Google the nearest garden near you and see what pops up. Remember though, in order to be considered a beer garden it must be communal seating, outdoors, and shaded by trees. With micro breweries becoming more and more main stream year after year, expect establishments to add gardens and beer gardens, as establishments to open up. Head to the garden, have a pint and laugh with some friends and truly take part in a tradition that has spanned over 100 years.
