Beer Brewing: Keeping With The Basics
Beer brewing has been around since ancient times and even as far back as five thousand years ago in ancient Egypt (“Researcher”). The well-known drink is created, and the processes in which it is created both for the cultural and historic value are important to know for our history as humans but also for certain health issues associated with alcohol. An average consumer does not usually know much about beer or the brewing processes the beer withstands. For instance, there are misconceptions about bottle-fermented beer and also the ability for bacteria to thrive in the drink. As a major, I plan on becoming a master brewer, and I hope to create

Many times companies like Budweiser will use rice or corn as a ‘filler’ for the yeast to metabolise instead of using nothing but higher quality ingredients. Budweiser released the ingredients in its beer ‘Budweiser, the King of Beers,’ and the ingredients are as listed: barley malt, verdant rice, hops, yeast, and water. Until Budweiser posted the ingredients to it’s highest-grossing beer, it read “brewed with the best barley malt and a blend of premium hop varieties, it is an icon of core American values like optimism and celebration” (“Budweiser”). The company never disclosed the use of rice in their brew until there was an online petition signed for the release of the ingredients.
In today’s world, there are many different kinds of beer of all kinds of qualities around the world. Though it seems that brewers can get almost anything from anywhere in the world, there are places like various areas of Africa that cannot afford decent quality beer or have anywhere to buy it and so the individuals in those areas tend to make their own alcohol by their own means. Consumers in low-income areas and countries creating their own alcohol, which tends to be highly potent and extremely toxic. In Africa, there are areas where the population cannot afford the alcohol being sold and thus the people
The creation of beer can be dated back to over 5,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. Located in the South of Mesopotamia , the cultivation of cereals also around the time of the creation of the first forms of writing, the Sumerians were practicing the art of brewing beer. Artifacts excavated from the ruins of ancient cities prove that brewing beer was already an established custom. Around 4,000 years ago, there was also evidence of Chinese brewing their own beer from rice, honey, grapes, and hawthorn fruits. However the Sumerians made their beer from twice baked barley bread. Beer allowed a more abundant sharing of an ingredient not very easy to cultivate at the beginning. In fact, it was easier to do a lot of beer with a bit of grain that much bread with the same amount of grain. Many beers are made by soaking breads fermented, cooked in water and leaving ferment the mixture.
Like most any industry, the beer brewing industry sparks concerns regarding health, environmental impacts, and the well being of those living within society. Many people believe that drinking beer has a great impact on personal health. Studies have shown that consumption of alcohol presents major health risks including cancer, cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis, depression, nerve damage, and pancreatitis. Other concerns with beer drinking refer to the rise in obesity within the U.S. giving way to such labels as the dreaded “beer belly.” While many of these health risks
To some, it would be obvious that itis simply a beer company trying to sell their product, but there are also the more gullible whothink that beer could solve their lives’ problems and that they would have freedom.There are some benefits in the use of beer or other types of alcohol.

Today, alcohol is strictly regulated by the government and there are rules for what manufacturers can put in their product before it is allowed to go to market. For this reason alcohol fatalities are caused
The nomadic African bands needed to find a way to quench their thirst, and that is when they invented beer. The author illustrated the drinks of the early ages so clearly you could imagine them without prior knowledge of them. For instance, Standage wrote that the Africans drank beer from large clay pots with straws so they wouldn’t swallow any grains. Where they lived there was an abundance of cereal grains that they let boil in water. Than over time the yeast turns into alcohol through fermentation.
Seminars are really not my cup of tea, I struggle with public or group speaking. I do try to force myself through them when asked, with the hope that it eventually gets easier, but it never does. Generally, I do small group brewing demonstrations one Saturday a month, I find this format much easier in part because I am so passionate about my processes as well as it being much more informal and requires the active participation of the group. My actual start in brewing came as complete shock to everyone including myself, I have never really been a big beer fan. Several years ago, Adrian took me to this place in Huntington Beach called Brewbaker’s for Father’s Day. Brewbaker’s allows people to come in and use their professional brewing equipment
Boston Beer, in response to consumers’ preference changes to more flavorful and bitter tasting brews, was founded in 1894. Boston Beer implements a “quality at any cost” strategy with a strong emphasis on product differentiation and implementing quality ingredients into its products. For instance, Boston Beer was the first company to employ a stamped freshness date on its bottles and ingredients are imported from around the world. Additionally, Boston Beer relies heavily on contract brewing to gain competitive advantages. Boston Beer’s contract brewing strategy results in lower overhead and transportation costs, as well as
The brewing industry can be characterized by Porter’s Five Forces framework. New entries to brewing have a relative ease in creating home micro-breweries, which is aided by

Young people are considered to constitute the largest number of alcohol consumers and they account for a large portion of alcohol sales. This is despite the strict drinking laws that govern many countries as regards alcohol purchase and consumption. Underage drinking, which has been on the increase, is allegedly the major cause of alcohol-related problems facing the modern
Belgium is home of the finest ales and have been known to brew for centuries. So when Jeff Lebesch, an electrical engineer from Fort Collins, Colorado took a bicycle trip through Belgium it made him realize there may be a market back home to sell Belgian-style ale. Jeff returned home with hopes to experiment and brew his own beer in his basement from the various ingredients he received on his trip. When his friends approved of the ales he started marketing them to the local town. He later opened New Belgium Brewing Company in 1991. His wife, Kim Jordan was the company’s marketing director. They named their first brew “Fat Tire Amber Ale” after Jeff’s
Beer has a long history. In 2000 B.C.E., Sumerians had prepared eight different beer types, ranging from “strong,” “red brown,” and “good dark” (Mauk, 2013). Breweries have created their own recipes, brewed their own beers—some with alcohol, some without. Over the past few years, craft beer gained steady market share away from the national and international breweries (Murray & O 'Neill, 2012). Separating one beer from the next is the product itself, and what the product has to offer. Competition is ferocious due to more informed, sophisticated consumers, as well as globalization and the spread of technology (Murray & O 'Neill, 2012).
As we all know, alcohol is a product that has provided a variety of functions for people in the world. Alcoholic beverages have been consumed by humans in the very early time, they were one of the most popular drink and have been widely used in everywhere of the world. Also they were used medicinally, chemically, physically and so on.
The malt is now ready for the brewing process. Production methods will differ from brewery to brewery, as well as according to brewery equipment and beer types. Athenian Brewery S.A uses its own production methods; however the main processes will be similar. The description below applies to the production of a typical lager beer in a brewery with a lauter tun installed.
