Home Beer Making – Beers For All The Seasons

After tea, beer is the most popular beverage found all across the world. Beer lovers can enjoy the beer all 365 days a year. It is a wonderful seasonal product that can be produced year round and some tastes are even brewed specially to match the thirst of the season. Special beer styles are brewed for a specific season. The term seasonal beer signifies its availability and also the taste it is meant to stir up.

 

The seasonal styles of the beer suit and match the mood and temperament of the time. There are four seasons of beer.

 

1.    Spring beer indicates life-is -good-again mood and has the colors, flavors, freshness and vitality. It is more zingy but easy to drink. Some of the best Spring Beers too enjoy are India Pale Ale and Belgian-style wheats.

 

2.    Summer beer indicates a lets-live-life attitude and therefore we see light golden ale or larger beers to quench the thirst. Some of the best Summer Beers too enjoy are Wheat ale and White ale.

 

3.    Autumn is the time when we are preparing for winters by warming ourselves. Therefore, darker, toffee and bonfire flavors that are more earthy and spicy are preferred beers in the autumn season. Some of the best Autumn/Fall Beers too enjoy are Autumn stout and Barley Wine.

 

4.    Winters are the time we need a boozy warmth and comfort. In winters we have darker, barley wines with sweet flavor and roasty full-bodied stouts, thick and warming.  These season beers are crafted to satisfy the thirst and match our outlook of the season. Some of the best Winter Beers too enjoy are Winter Lager and Winter Ale.

 

The sad part is that seasonal beers are available only for a short time in a year. But the good part is that we can enjoy it year round at any temperatures, weathers or seasons.

 

Depending upon the ingredients used for the brewing, the taste of the beer also varies. Stout, Lager, Ale, IPA, Wheat etc are some very popular beers. The way of drinking beer also depends on the place and traditions being followed. In most of the places it is kept at the room temperature but many beer lovers prefer more chilled beer. There are many breweries that brew special beers at certain time of the year. Depending on your personal liking, the choices of beer are just endless.

 

You can find local grocery stores stacked with seasonal beers to fulfill your needs year round. But many people prefer to brew their own beer at home and this also saves them money from buying expensive beers. Brewing beer at home is not a difficult task especially when you have all the necessary things readily available. With a small initial investment you can easily make your own seasonal brew at about half the cost of buying it from outside places.

The Most Popular Beers in the US

The Most Popular Beers in the US

The US beer market has undergone some significant changes in recent years. Most notably, the rise of craft beers and their impact on the major beer producers has certainly had an effect on what beers you’ll find on offer with your local stores. However, what are the most popular beers in the US today? Interestingly, you’ll find some familiar names on the bestseller list.

Major Brand Offerings

First, you have to understand that no matter how popular craft brews become, they simply cannot overtake the sheer volume of brews sold by major brands. For instance, Bud Light remains the most popular beer in America, despite its significant lack of body or flavor. Coming in second, you will find Budweiser, followed immediately by Miller Light. The number four and five slots are filled by Coors Light and Corona Extra, respectively.

If you were to base your decision purely off the volume of beer sold, it might be easy to think that America had no real beer offerings. However, a glance at the top craft beers in the nation reveals a wealth of options that cannot be matched by the big boys.

One of the top rated craft brews in the US is Pliny the Elder from Russian River. Bell’s Two Hearted Ale is also very popular. Stone Arrogant Bastard and Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA also top the list of most popular craft brews in the nation. If your tastes lie in a different direction, you might want to try Bear Republic Racer 5 or some North Coast Old Rasputin. Other options include Rahr Iron Thistle, Saison Dupont, Rahr Storm Cloud and New Belgium Fat Tire.

Dogfish Head Indian Brown, Rogue Dead Guy, Victory Prima Pils and Surly Furious are also worthy options here, and offer an assortment of flavors, characteristics and food pairings.

If you take a look at things on a global scale, you’ll find a familiar landscape, though. By sheer volume, Snow takes first place, thanks in large part to the enormous population in China. Bud Light is the second most popular beverage in the world, followed by Budweiser, Skol, Corona and Heineken.

Of course, those standings are only by volume, rather than based on actual preferences. As more and more craft brewers develop the ability to sell larger quantities, you should expect to see some of those names in the top echelons of brewing in the near future.

Season 1, episode 10. Originally aired 21 October 2008. BREWERY’S DESCRIPTION & INFORMATION: This is the award-winning original American brown ale, first brewed as a holiday specialty, and now one of our most popular beers year-round. Northern English brown ales tend to be strong and dry, while southern English brown ales are milder and sweeter. Brooklyn Brown Ale combines the best of those classic styles andthen adds an American accent in the forma of a firm hop character and roasty palate. A blend of six malts, some of them roasted, give this beer its deep russet-brown color and complex malt flavor, fruity, smooth and rich, wich a caramel, chocolate and coffee background. Generous late hopping brings forward a nice hop aroma to complete the picture. Brooklyn Brown Ale is full-flavored but retains a smoothness and easy drinkability that has made it one of the most popular dark beers in the Northeast. STYLE: American Brown Ale MALTS: British Two-Row, Belgian Aromatic, American Roasted Malts HOPS: Willamette, Cascade, American Fuggle ABV 5.6% ORIGINAL GRAVITY: 15.5 degree Plato; 1062 HOW THIS BEER RATES: Rate Beer: 90 (overall) 95 (style) www.ratebeer.com Beer Advocate: B (users) B- (bros) beeradvocate.com My rating: watch the review and see!

Question by scarybacon: Where can I get Grolsch Herfstbok beer in the United States?
This is a delicious seasonal Dutch beer that I really grew to like during my time in Holland. Now I live in California and it’s that time of year again. Any ideas, folks?
I should note that the English approximation of this beer would be “Harvest Bock.”

Best answer:

Answer by benjamin r
call a distributor of it, and ask them if they can get it. it may not even be available in the US. but if you can find the distributors of grolsch beer, or even ask your preferred liqour store to talk to their distributor about getting it, they may be able to.
