Beer is one of the oldest fermented beverages in the world. Many of us love it and have been drinking it for the last many years. But do you know that most of us have been drinking it the wrong way all these years?
Drinking and enjoying the flavours of the most popular beer brand in India is an art. But when you chill out with your friends on weekends, you probably don’t invest time in tasting and savouring it.
Some of the common mistakes we make while drinking beer:
Frosting glass – It is the biggest mistake one can make while drinking beer. Almost every bar and restaurant serve frost and chilled beer on our tables. But experts believe that drinking beer in a frosty glass might not enhance its flavours. It causes the beer to foam and kills the aromas and carbonation. Experts suggest that the best beer to drink in India is the one that is served in normal room temperature glasses.
Ice cold beers – Similarly, drinking ice cold beer will not do any good to your taste buds and body. It will neutralise all the flavours and aroma giving you a minimal taste. Experts recommend that you should serve beer at room temperature and keep it in the fridge for not more than 10 minutes. This process will give the best flavours and aromas to your beer.
Leaving the glass in sunlight – Do you know the meaning of skunking with context to beers? You see, beers are meant to be kept in a cool and dry place. Even if you purchase the most popular beer brand in India, from a shop where it is exposed to sunlight, all its flavours go for a toss. The moment you will open and smell the bottle, you can experience the difference. So make sure you avoid this mistake next time you step out to buy a beer can for you.
Storing beer for too long – We all have one bottle of beer in our refrigerator that is kept for a special occasion. Unfortunately, that occasion never comes or we somehow end up using the new bottle. You see, the flavours and taste of beers age quite fast. So make sure you don’t store your beers for a longer time.
These were some common mistakes that we make while drinking beer. Understanding the basics of beer consumption is not rocket science. You just need to take care of some rules to enjoy the flavours of your beer can to the fullest.
