Try Something New
There are a dizzying number of beer styles to choose from, and the options can be confusing. In addition to your tried-and-true favorites, here are a few recommendations from our experts to help you taste your way through the beer culture.
India Pale Ale (IPA) – Although India played an important role in the creation of IPA, it’s not the country that invented the brew. As the British colonized India in the days before refrigeration, the beer they sent their troops spoiled as it was transported around the Cape of Africa. A London brewer turned to alcohol and hops as preservatives, and India Pale Ale was born.
Today, there are three main styles of IPA – American, English and Double or Imperial – and each has its own characteristics. They can be both strong and bitter and have ABVs between 5.5% and 7.5%. Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits recommends Twisted Thistle IPA from Belhaven Brewery Company in Scotland, with its aromas of caramel, toffee and hints of orange candy.
Pilsner – Pilsner is a type of pale lager that takes its name from Pilsen (originally in Bohemia and now part of the Czech Republic), where it was first produced in 1842. To calm consumers who disliked the area’s top-fermented Bohemian beers, a city-owned brewery was established to brew beer in the pioneering Bavarian style, using paler malts, Pilsen’s remarkably soft water, noble hops, and storage in cool caves to produce a clear, golden beer with a long shelf life. It was an instant success.
Modern pilsner has a color ranging from pale to golden yellow and a distinct hop aroma and flavor. Try Stella Artois, which has a light, easy drinking taste and is a little stronger than most pilsners/lagers at 5% ABV.
Stout –Stouts are typically dark, strong beers. The term “stout,” in fact, was the generic term in late 17th century England for the strongest or “stoutest” porters produced by a brewery (typically 7% or 8% ABV).
Today, stout has become synonymous with dark beer, rather than just strong beer. There are different varieties of stout, including milk stout, dry or Irish stout, oatmeal stout, chocolate stout, Baltic stout, etc. We recommend the iconic Guinness Stout, an Irish dry stout, one of the most successful beer brands in the world.
