Beer Is What I Love
Hosting a beer tasting
You’re probably familiar with a wine tasting. It’s a great way for adults to spend an afternoon, whether with friends or their spouse. But have you ever thought about hosting a beer tasting party?
There are beers on the market today for every taste. Some are subtle. Some are rich. Some are even fruity. With so much variety, and with so many exotic brews available, a beer tasting party can be every bit as much fun as a wine-centered tasting.
Of course, that word “fun” is a key. If you want to host your own beer-tasting party, make sure that your guests will enjoy themselves. This means that you should take care to invite the right mix of friends and family members. There’s no reason to invite someone who doesn’t drink alcohol. And you should only invite guests who feel comfortable with each other.
Make sure, too, to provide plenty of food and music. This is supposed to be a party, remember.
And finally, take great care in selecting the beers that you and your guests will be tasting. Most people select anywhere from six to 12 beers to taste during a party. It’s best to serve these beers in smaller 3-ounce glasses. This gives everyone just enough of a taste of each beer, but doesn’t give so much of the drinks that people either fill up or become intoxicated.
When selecting your beers, try to include a mix of different varieties. Don’t serve only dark, heavy beers for instance. Include some lighter beers or some homemade fruit-flavored beers. Try local beers – most regions boast some homemade brews these days – and international varieties.
And be sure to have your refrigerator stocked with bottles of each sample you and your guests have tasted. It’s no fun for guests to find a beer they really enjoy and then not be able to drink more of it once the tasting is over.
Of course, as with any party during which alcohol is served, it’s your job as host to make sure that no one drives home while intoxicated. A drunk-driving accident can cast a serious pall over your beer-tasting party. So don’t let it happen.
If properly planned and presented, and beer-tasting party can be a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday night. If you’re ready to do something different, and give your guests something to talk about for weeks afterward, start planning your beer-tasting party now.

Beer Is Great
Beer brewing: A growing trend
When you go to a bar, do you seek out the local homemade beers that are on tap? When you’re in the supermarket, do you scan the aisles for unique beers that you’ve never seen before? Do you turn up your nose at mass-market brands? If so, you might consider beer brewing in your own home.
A growing number of people are brewing their own beer. It’s a way for them to experiment with bold flavors. It’s also provides beer connoisseurs their chance to discover if they can create a brew that compares favorably with the brands lining the shelves of their local liquor stores.
The good news is that beer brewing is a relatively easy hobby to get involved with. There is plenty of support out there for beginning brewers. And finding the materials and equipment needed to brew your own beer is an easy process.
If you investigate, you’ll probably find that somewhere close to you is a beer brewers’ club. These clubs have grown increasingly common in recent years. They’re a place where homemade brewers gather to share their latest creations. Brewers also chat about their successes and failures.
If you’re interested in brewing your own beers, you might first attend the nearest of these meetings. It’s a great way to meet people who already are involved in beer brewing, and a good way to pick up important tips.
Once you’ve found a supportive beer-brewing community, it’s time to buy your beer-brewing equipment. Fortunately, this, too, is easy. You can even find all-in-one kits that provide beginning brewmasters everything they need to make their own brews.
In fact, it’s best to for new brewers to start with such a kit. This way, you can get a feel for your new hobby without having to spend a fortune first. If you find that you do have a knack for beer brewing, you can then upgrade your equipment.
To find your beer-brewing equipment, you can either visit a local homebrewing store – there are more of these out there than you might think – or run a simple Google search. You’re sure to turn up a lot of online retailers selling beer-making supplies.
You may think brewing homemade beer is a difficult process. But the most devout homebrewers will tell you that it’s one of the most satisfying hobbies out there. The homemade beers you brew are only limited by your imagination. Some brewers mix in fruits and nuts, for instance, to create their own unique blends.
