How to cellar beer.
Fresh beer is preferred for some, while aged beer is preferred for others, with certain brews remaining drinking after 20 years in the bottle or even longer. The most important factor is temperature: a cellar temperature of 12°C (53°F) or below is ideal for a gradual maturation of the ale. Leaving something heated for a while can allow you to observe how heat affects it.
It will taste like it has been sitting in your cellar for months after it has been sitting there a week.
This is an interesting process to see. In order to determine the age of the beer, it is necessary to taste it side by side.

During the first year after opening the beer’s level lowers and its scent changes, and this occurs in the bottle.

Throughout the beer, the malt and yeast flavors are prominent. When it comes to making beer, yeast is essential to the process.

CELLARING BEER IS SIMPLE IF YOU FOLLOW A COUPLE OF SIMPLE RULES.
Brews having an alcohol content of more than 6.0 percent must be aged (unless Sour).
Bottle-conditioned beers benefit the most from cellaring.
Darker beers have a higher ability to mature than lighter beers, according to the literature.
Sour beers from Belgium age very well.
In order to get the most out of hop-driven beers, they should be consumed immediately after they are brewed.
as fresh as possible, and should be refrigerated in order to maintain their freshness after being harvested.

NEW VS. CLASSIC
Brewers may either follow or break beer styles since they give a framework, or set of rules, for them to follow. Some styles, such as those from the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Germany, are considered classics. A few beers from each category may be classed as classic representations of the style’s flavor.
There are also numerous instances that deviate from the traditional taste profile and push it forward with new ideas. Away from the classics, there’s a constantly evolving universe of beers and genres where creativity is transforming what we drink.

HOW DO BEER STYLES CHANGE?
Beer styles are always changing. IPA is an excellent example: it began as India Pale Ale in the 18th century and was manufactured in England and delivered to India—a robust, well-hopped beer that matured throughout the trip due to the lengthy sea voyage.
It was a shadow of the previous nautical beer two hundred years later, with a lower ABV. Then, employing American hops, American craft brewers elevated the notion of a robust, hoppy beer into a beer bursting with citrus-like hop flavor.
It’s now available in white, black, and red, and it’s been imperialized, Belgianized, and spun in a variety of ways. The originals are no longer available, and several other versions have taken their place.
The development of beer is the subject of this book. The fact that there is so much intriguing history, so many tales, and so many classic, traditional styles that have been created for years makes beer such an engaging topic.
Brewers are now bringing a new mentality and approach to beers that have previously been created.
Brewers have brought back styles that were nearly extinct, such as Porter, Lambic, Berliner Weisse, and Wit, thanks to a growing awareness of beer’s history and the discovery of recipes in old brewing books, while regional beer styles, such as Kölsch, Rauchbier, and Alt, have been taken around the world.
In terms of where we are today, several of the styles described here would not have existed if this book had been published in 2003; who knows what styles may be added or lost if it is rewritten in 2023.
VALUE THE OLD WHILE WELCOMING THE NEW
Beers are divided into groups based on their qualities when it comes to styles. The “acceptable” color range, ABV, IBU, and ultimate gravity of a style, as well as taste expectations, will be included in style criteria.
However, many beers branded as a certain style deviate from these principles by being stronger, more bitter, darker, lighter, sweeter, or hopped differently, to name a few examples.
This is how beer types change throughout time and new ones emerge. Knowing what a classic example of the style tastes like is important because it allows you to see how a brewer has interpreted their new version—some brewers go for a straight-up brew to try to achieve that classic flavor, while others flip and twist the idea in new directions so that it hardly resembles where it started.
The evolution of beer genres reflects the current state of brewing. Because consumers are eager to try new things, experimenting with brews and concepts is feasible.

There’s always another beer to taste, and this is what propels the beer industry ahead. Drinkers no longer want to buy 24-packs of the same beer; instead, they want to purchase four six-packs or, better yet, four mixed sixers.
Returning to the classics is part of the joy of appreciating beer;
it’s like recalibrating the tongue or picking up an old snapshot and recalling what was going on at the time the flash flashed. It’s easy to get caught up in the new and forget about the old, but as consumers age older, they’re gravitating back to the traditional tastes of beer genres.
Styles of beer, like fashion, cuisine, and movies, age differently. While the passage of time might be detrimental to certain beer types, it can also be beneficial to others. And, like many other things, beer evolves in cyclical waves, with brewing trends visible from the bar: first hops, then barrels, then Sour beers, Saisons, session beers, and so on.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS POST
This post focuses on new and innovative beer types while also offering a shout-out to the places where they come from. Because some styles are so fresh, one hasn’t yet established itself, not every style listed here includes a classic. Others, usually Old World types, have a classic example;
these are the beers to seek for if you want to know for sure what a beer style tastes like or observe how brewers interpret recipes. There aren’t many classic beers on this list.
They’ve been in a number of other works previously. Themes of development, creativity, and interpretation are explored in this book.
PLZEN, CLASSIC PILSNER FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC THE CROWN OF FOAM ON TOP OF PILSNER (PILSENER, PILS) INDICATES THE STYLE'S ASCENSION TO WORLD BEER KING. GO TO ANY BAR, AND THAT PALE PINT OF LAGER WAS ONCE A PILSNER BEFORE THE BIG AMERICAN CORPORATE BAD GUYS TOOK OVER AND CHANGED IT INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THE HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER COMES FROM THE NEW BREWERIES THAT ARE RENAISSANCE PILSNER WITH THEIR OWN TAKES ON THE STYLE. DRUNK IN PRAGUE, MY FIRST PROPER PILSNER WAS A REVELATORY KIND OF BEER—SO DIFFERENT FROM THE BEERS I THOUGHT REPRESENTED LAGERS. IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE STYLES OF BEER, WITH A STUNNING DEPTH OF FLAVOR, A REAL HOP BITE, AND A RICH BODY.
There are two places for these crisp, racily hopped, easy-to-gulp brews: German Pilsners are usually pale gold in color, with a dry, herbaceous, rough edge to the hops; Bohemian Pilsners are darker gold in color, with a fuller, somewhat sweeter body and a cleaner, more bitter hop finish. ABV should be around 5.0 percent.
The hops used are traditional aromatic Noble varieties that impart grassy, floral, pithy, and herbal characteristics, though the addition of New World hops is pushing Pils in exciting new directions.
ABV: 4.4 percent PILSNER URQUELL
SAAZ,
Plzef was a town with a number of tiny breweries creating too much lousy beer in the late 1830s, so the residents decided to combine their resources and build one large brewery—Burghers’ Brewery.
In 1842, brewer Josef Groll created one of the first golden lagers in the world, a beer that would become famous outside of its hometown. The beer boasts a honeyed and toasted malt flavor, a magnificent bouquet of spicy Saaz hops, and a clean, bitter finish, whether it’s served in bottles or on draft.
If you can, go visit the brewery to view the magnificent network of basements under the giant brewing facility (used to keep beer cold before mechanical refrigeration) and drink the unfiltered and unpasteurized form of PU, which will forever redefine everything you thought you knew about lager. Don’t be turned off by the fact that it’s currently brewed by a huge brewery; this is the original Bohemian Pilsner.
Tipopils Italian Brewery
Lurago Marinone is a town in the Italian province of Lurago.
The alcohol by volume (ABV) is 5.2 percent.
Northern Brewer, Perle, and Spalter Select hops
This is the contemporary masterpiece if Pilsner Urquell is the classic. Everything about this Pils is flawless, from the gorgeous haze in the golden pour to the cushion of white foam, the unbelievably fresh scent to the incomparable balance and depth of taste.
The hop flavor elevates it above the competition in its style, providing a light herbal and flowery kiss before juicy, tropical fruit and orange (showcasing the hidden beauty of European hops) turn it into a full-fledged lip-smacker.
If you can find it, grab Italiano’s Extra Hop: it’s lighter, hoppier, and lagered for longer—it could even be better than Tipopils, despite only being produced a few times a year. There isn’t a beer that pairs better with pizza than this one, particularly if the beer is on tap and the pie is still warm from the oven.
Premium American Pilsner by Avery Joe’s
Boulder is a city in Colorado.

Magnum and Hersbrücker hops
If I lived in Colorado, a six-pack of this would be as necessary as milk, mustard, and hot sauce in my refrigerator.
Pilsner is a beer for drinking without thinking about it—easy, it’s thirst-quenching, and always there for those times when you simply need a beer. Joe’s is best enjoyed by tearing one off the six-pack, crushing open the ring pull, and sighing contentedly.
If you want to ponder while drinking, you’ll notice how the hops are strutting their stuff, yelling, “Look at me!” as they cling to your tonsils.
The Boulder brewer’s bold use of hops delivers a bigger hit than you might expect for the style, but it’s balanced by a six-pack-firm body to keep it in place. Lemon pith, spritzy sherbet, floral, dry, and peppery, the Boulder brewer’s bold use of hops deliver a bigger hit than you might expect for the style, but it’s balanced by a six-pack-firm body to keep it in place.
