Ale would be created by using a simple process of the recently domesticated Barley being brewed with water and wild yeast. The result would have been very varied in taste, but certainly a refreshing drink for our ancestors to sup on around a fire.

Obviously brewing processes have since changed – but it is the same concept that is used in the creation of all ale beer to this day.

Beers

At the most basic beer is split into two very distinct categories. Ale and Lager. The difference is created right from the outset, with choices of ingredients having a big part to play.

The two should never be confused. Although one or two hybrid drinks to bridge the divide the differences between ale and lager are stark. Lager is cold and crisp, often simple in it’s flavours. By contrast ale is served at warmer temperatures and has a richer, more complex taste. The colour is also a dramatic divider between the two – lager tends to be light golden in colour in comparison to the darker, richer browns and reds of ale.

There is often a divide between those that drink lager and beer, one that dates back to the time of lager starting to be brewed as well as ales. Now the divide is down more to personal taste than it is any political reasons (as had previously been the case) – but the divide is as sure now as it has ever been!

Brewing and Fermentation

The brewing and fermentation of ales is very different to that of lager. The main difference is in the yeast – ale yeast ferments at the top of the ale, as opposed to lager yeast which is bottom fermenting.

The different type of yeast also means that it operates at different temperatures. Whilst lager yeast prefers cooler temperatures the ale yeast is best suited to temperatures around the 60 – 72 Fahrenheit mark for the fermentation period.

Once the yeast has fermented the sugars (leaving some behind as flavouring – though how much is very much dependent on the ale) it moves on to the brewing process. This process tends to take a few weeks – allowing the ale to age somewhat, enhancing the flavours of the ingredients as it does so.

This brewing process is done at slightly lower temperatures than the fermenting (which needed the heat to encourage the yeast to ferment the sugars properly), with 40 – 55 degrees Fahrenheit usually considered the optimum range for ale brewing.

So whilst lager and ale may both be beer, the method used to create ale tends to allow for a wider ranging taste – with richer and more complex flavors.

Ale Beer – An Overview is a post from: Beer Helps

These 3 brands are what is known as ‘Dry Stout’ or ‘Irish Stout’ thanks to their very obvious connection to Ireland, where it is all but the national drink!  But such types aren’t the only variety of stout – indeed there are many more including

• Coffee Stout (tends to refer to the name, very few use actual coffee)
• Chocolate Stout (uses real cocoa beans as part of the brewing process)
• Oatmeal stout (amazingly uses oatmeals in the brewing – tends to be very sweet)

and much more.

Stout Beer

A pint of Guinness Stout

Stout tends to be a very dark, heavy, rich sort of beer – as one would expect from the fact that the malt used to create the beer tend to be roasted.  This cooking of the hops first gives a very rich flavour which has been very popular since the early 18^th Century when it was first introduced to England from the Netherlands – and especially from the mid 18^th Century when Guinness first started creating the world’s first commercially created stout on any sort of scale.

Whilst Porter (the type of beer form which stouts were originally devised) has fallen out of favour to be replaced by pale ales and bitters (which reside under the catch all banner of ‘ale’) stout has in fact gone from strength to strength.

This is based considerably on the complex flavours that a stout can give.  Even within dry stouts such as Guinness and Murphy’s there is considerable difference in taste – something which is very noticeable once you move outside of the dry stout range and instead try a sweeter flavour from the likes of oatmeal stout.

Because the malt is roasted stout has a taste that is very different from other types of beer – and such a difference has also led to it being suggested as a tonic for all sorts of health issues.  For example pregnant women were often told by the British NHS (National Health Service) to drink Guinness – this was because of it’s high iron content.

History

The stout has a very short history compared to most beers.  First introduced as ‘Porter’ to the UK from the Netherlands in the early 18^th Century the recipes were quickly played and experimented with – and soon stout was born.  As a side note although the popularity of Porter didn’t last it was responsible for a lot of taverns opening up – hence the phrase ‘Porter House’.

Ireland was where the Stout was best to make it’s name.  But it was in this divided country that it found itself divided.  Guinness was thought of as being a Protestant drink because it was owned by a Protestant family, whilst Murphy’s was a Catholic drink due to being owned by a Catholic family.

But despite this turbulent separation, or perhaps because of it, Stout became one of the most popular beers in Ireland, and from there it’s popularity was to spread, like the Irish, across the globe.

Stout Beer – An Overview is a post from: Beer Helps

So it is that beer is an important part of our culture today. It has permeated much of our everyday lives. Used for winding down after a stressful day, enjoying on an evening with friends or drinking in vast quantities on a night out – beer still very much has a role central to human beings, especially in the Western world.

The History of Beer

All beers can trace their roots back to one very important discovery. That mixing barley, water and yeast together and leaving to brew can create an interesting tasting liquid to consume. For early civilisations (beer can be traced back in Neolithic Europe to 3000BC!) this must have been an important discovery – allowing them a drink to sup around a fire, often giving them interesting and conflicting emotions.

An ancient brewery in Peru

Certainly the ancient Egyptians refer to beer – and it is recorded that the Ancient Greeks had a fondness for beer after they were to taught to brew it by the Egyptians – even the famous thinker Aristotle is said to have referred to it as being on of the essential ingredients of a man’s diet.

In turn the Greeks taught their version of brewing to the Romans, who’s influence was to spread all over the world, and so brought with them the secret of beer making.

A medieval brewery

The Evolution of Brewing

Whilst time has moved on, and so to have the brewing processes, it is this early discovery that was to shape the history of man more than they could have known at the time. Whilst the history of beer is not that significant in the history of the human race, how the beer was used and who it was drunk by certainly has been.

But instead let us focus on the beer – not the people. Beer, as we mentioned, was soon developed on from this primitive making and the brewing process was developed. This was especially the case for monks who would often take on the role of refining and developing the process to give the best tasting ale.

But as the effects of alcohol became more apparent many people thought that it was a fun to drink to consume for it’s own reasons – and so ale houses were born. Places where you could easily purchase brewed ales, and socialise with others. Ale was helping to bring people together.

Ale itself was brewed using very certain methods. Most noticeably the yeast used worked best in warmer temperatures, and tended to float, fermenting the sugar from the top of the liquid.

However experiments in brewing practice were to create something different. Trials with different forms of yeast discovered that there was more than one way to brew the beers – including using bottom fermenting yeasts which worked better in colder temperatures.

This discovery was made in what is now Germany, where the process of storing the ales in colder storerooms and caves was developed. This led to the creation of what we now know as lager, though at the time it was a contentious discovery that many weren’t happy about.

Ale was the traditional creation of the time – and the creating of this new type of ale was something that numerous brewing companies were not interested in seeing. In fact in many areas of Germany (which was split into a variety of smaller provinces at that point in history) they used their political clout to get lager brewing banned from within city walls – making it illegal for anyone to brew lager.

But they were unable to stop the rise in popularity of this paler, cooler drink and so ales and lagers tended to be brewed all over Europe as the technique grew and became more popular – spreading from it’s original German home.

At this point all sorts of experiments with different types of beer brewing were happening all over the world. Amongst the most popular was that found in the Netherlands where they learnt to introduce hops into the brewing process, included malted hops.

This led to even more variety in beer being produced, from the sweetness of malted hops through to the richness of roasted hops. The expansion from Holland and the surrounding areas were to influence the beer production in a number of countries – of which the United Kingdom was the most notable.

At this point the UK was still using barley, yeast and water as it’s basis for beer brewing. But soon into the early 18th century, when the introduction of hops form Holland was made, it started to try numerous methods itself. This led to the creation of Porter (made from hops), so called because of it’s popularity with the manual labour group of porters – which shot to popularity and led to the spread of commercial ale houses throughout the UK.

Whilst Porter’s popularity wasn’t to last the process of roasting hops led to the creation of stout. This was to become famous the world over, especially under the brand names Guinness and Murphy’s – though there in fact a wide variety of stouts available throughout the world – with all sorts of weird and wonderful ingredients.

The modern beers have progressed still further – with chemicals used to enhance flavours, make safe the drinks (from contamination and the like), regulate the taste and alcohol content and much more.

But at their very heart the brewing process used for beers the world over still keeps the same process used so many thousands of years ago. Beer has been with us for thousands of years – and it looks likely to be here for many thousands more.
