Much Ado About Beer
Ahh beer. What is there to say? Pure love? Liquid heaven? Golden... uh.. gold? You came to our website because we share a undeniable passion for a particular alcoholic beverage which is traditionally crafted with just some grain and some flowers. But it didn't take humanity nearly eight thousand years to come up with just that. Oh, ho, no! Over the course of history, beer, along with the various societies that created their own interpretation of the very same brew that we all take for granted today, has experienced a storied evolution, unsurpassed by any other consumable product.Through ancient China, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Syria, Babylonia, Greece, the dark ages, the middle ages, the renaissance (yes, in that order), and so on, beer has always had an important role in the world. Today, it represents a major industry on every continent (except Antarctica, because it's too cold for the penguins to enjoy it anyway), and generates more than half a trillion dollars in sales worldwide every year. Nearly half originates from Europe, and more than half is in the form of Lager.
But beer is more than that. Much more. Beer is a craft, an art; a creation comprised by an individual mixture of natural ingredients by which one's own personal preferences are dictated. Beer is about finding your own flavor, your own style. Beer is a excursion where you and only you can embark on and ultimately, relish. There are countless creations out there, each with its own array of characteristics: Look, Aroma, Feel, and of course, Taste. So there's no sense in staying with the tried and true. Sure, if your favorite brew is an Imperial Stout from Downington, PA, USA or a cask served ESB from Chiswick, London, England, UK, feel free to stick with the security of a guarantee. But keep in mind, there could always be something better. No one has ever tried every single beer in the world, and certainly, no one has the same taste. So the next time you're at the packie picking up your weekend indulgence, perhaps give reaching for something new and exciting a whirl instead.
The world of beer is one of the great wonders of humanity. Don't go without exploring it. Oh, and enjoy.
