BEER AND CULTURE? THINGS COMPATIBLE!

Yes-yes, imagine — there is such concept, as culture of drinking of beer. It also includes things quite cultural which will be interesting for knowing to fans of a foamy drink, ancient, as the world (well or is a little younger).

And if it is serious, beer exists more than 4 thousand years. To antique civilisations this cooling intoxicated elixir was known. Why an elixir? Yes because beer, to all we designate to its advantages also it is useful! It is necessary to drink only it correctly: certain beer, from certain ware, at certain temperature... More shortly, culture пития to observe it is necessary, and will be to you both taste, and advantage, and pleasure!

Beer always was widespread in Russia. At excavation in Novgorod have found out flanks with traces of a barley drink almost in each house. The Novgorod veche during those old times even has established requirements to quality of beer and the price for beer. Slavic beer was bitter, intoxicated, strong. Hardly it is possible to find beer in the XXI-st century with similar taste. About taste of that, Old Russian beer, it is possible to receive a certain representation, having tried "Калинкин" from Stepan Razin's brewery: this beer cooks on old technology of riding fermentation according to the ancient recipe.

Present Russian beer differs strongly pronounced taste and послевкусием, that speaks in high density. And in it the Russian brewing traditions are similar to the Czech. The density is a concentration in a primary beer mash of substances which "answer" for taste and utility of beer. The conclusion is simple: the beer, the more brightly taste is more dense"and it is more than advantage.

There is one more important figure on a label of a beer bottle. It is a fortress, or percent of the maintenance of alcohol (3,6 % or 3,6 % about. - a spirit volume fraction). Paradoxical distinctions of requirements to a fortress at us and not at us are interesting. Under the Russian standards the spirit volume fraction should be not below declared. Well and manufacturers «подстраховывают» itself, doing degree in beer it is a little above, than on a label. In Europe on the contrary: the beer fortress should not exceed that, that is specified on a label. Here to you and «to drink in Russian!»

It live

All beer shares on live and pasteurised. During old kind times in general all beer was live not knowing neither pasteurisations, nor npoгpecc it is not necessary to filtration Ho on a place (sometimes unfortunately), and to poor beer absolutely natural concepts became known not: pasteurisation, a filtration, карбонизация, enzymes, antioxidants and preservatives, and many other things-tsija and-anty. What for they to beer? To destroy live microorganisms and by that to prolong a beer period of storage. Certainly, together with unique microflora unique beer taste is killed also. You can try taste live, not pasteurised, beer if nearby there is a brewery selling such beer on flood. And it is final, neither in banks, nor you will not find in bottles of live beer.

Just as not pasteurised beer is better pasteurised, not filtered beer is much more tasty the filtered. After beer will filter, it becomes transparent and clear, but loses in taste and in utility.

Wish to know the present beer taste? Look for not pasteurised, not filtered beer. Also remember: who searches — that will always find!

To drink or not to drink — any more a question

The use of beer does not conduct to completeness (we will tell on a secret, completeness is promoted by the action of alcohol stimulating appetite). So «beer stomachs» appear not from beer, and from immense absorption of fat and very high-calorie snack. From all alcoholic (and even nonalcoholic, sweet or aerated) drinks beer — the most healthy product. It is rich with carbohydrates, does not contain some fats and sugar. Besides, beer on 93 % consists of water that allows to fill the big loss of a liquid in an organism, for example, in the summer.

Beer cut-away

The beer card is its foam. On it it is possible to define quality of a drink. If foam liquid, with a considerable quantity of vials, red, ordinary-looking by sight, this beer - not top-quality. Foam at good beer is compact and монолитна, without vials and absolutely white. The excellent beer poured in the big glass or a glass, should have height of foam not less 4см and keep it not less than 4 minutes Blow on foam. Has disappeared? Badly. "Was simply bent" - well. And in good foam the coin does not sink, good foam remains on glass walls.

Ode to a thick glass tumbler

Or a beer mug. This ware — the best for the beer use. If you are a fan to drink from a bottle, consider, that pleasure by taste not for you. Beer from a bottle throat flows directly in your throat, almost not touching flavouring сосочков - receptors of taste which are located on all surface of language. For this reason in the countries with high culture of brewing and consumption of beer the beer most part is on sale on flood.

Experts recommend glasses and mugs from natural materials - glasses, porcelain, ceramics and a tree. Do not drink beer from metal or plastic ware if really wish to feel taste of beer, instead of metal.
The ideal vessel for beer consumption is narrowed to top and contains not less half-litre of a drink.

To pour beer too it is necessary to be able. Slightly cool ware before pouring in it beer. Pour beer from height of 2,5 sm from vessel edge into the mug or glass centre. Wait загустения foams and add approximately to a mark 3/4 glasses.

Whether and you are able to drink beer?

That for a silly question - some will think, and this time will not hit the nail. The tradition says, that at first it is necessary to drink half of mug, then half of remained beer, and then to drain a vessel to the bottom.

The normal temperature of beer fluctuates from +6 to +15 degrees. There are still unwritten laws of consumption of beer. For example, easy light beer is better drunk in the summer, and dark (it is more dense, насыщеннее) - in the winter. To light beer easy snack — shrimps, cheese, nutlets, crackers, сухарики are good... Dark beer demands hot meal, game, meat, hot.

Do not add fresh beer in not drunk up. Do not mix beer of different grades and do not stir beer with other alcoholic drinks (consequences can be unpredictable).

And here now can consider itself grounded in questions of drinking of beer. Drink beer foamy good luck!
