Types and styles of beer-Dial A Drink Kenya

The limitless world of beer means a dizzying number of drink options are available at any given bar

The types of beer can be broken down into hundreds of different styles, all with unique flavors, colors, and aromas. Two characteristics that are used to describe styles of beer are alcohol by volume (ABV) and international bitterness unit (IBU)

ABV

Beers with a higher ABV have a more bitter flavor. In very strong beers, the alcohol can numb the tongue and neutralize the taste, so additional flavors are added to compensate. Brewers use ABV to achieve the perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness.

IBU

IBU stands for international bitterness unit and is a measurement of the number of bitter flavor compounds in a beer. The IBU scale starts at zero and has no upper limit, but most beers fall between 5 IBUs and 120 IBUs, anything higher than 120 can’t be detected by the average palate

Main types of Beers

Lager

Lagers are a typical entry point into beer for new drinkers. Made with bottom fermenting yeast that has a lower tolerance to alcohol, lager can taste light and little malty. Classic lagers include, Budweiser, Yuengling and Coors.

IPA

India Pale Ales (IPAs), which encompass numerous style of beer, get their characteristics largely from hops and herbal, citrus or fruity flavors. They can be bitter and contain high alcohol levels, though the final product depends on variety of hops used. Some IPAs can taste like pure citrus, while others are strong and bitter. Prominent IPA styles include West Coast IPA, British IPA and New England IPA.

Pilsner

A subspecies of lager, pilsner beers are distigushed by their water, which varies from neutral too hard. Pilsner are among the hoppiest lager and generally have a dry, slightly bitter flavor. Their light golden color, clear body, and crisp finish make Pilsner a popular summer beer.

Stout Beer

A dark beer, the flavor of stouts depends on where they come from. Sweet stouts largely originate from Ireland and England and are known for their low bitterness, In fact, Ireland’s Guinness brand produces some of the world’s most recognizable stout beer.

 Ale

Ale is a general category of beer. It’s the oldest style of beer, which dates back to antiquity. Ale style has a warm -temperature fermentation for a relatively short period of lime. In the brewing process, brewers introduce top-fermenting yeasts which as the name suggests, ferment on the top of the brew. The fermentation process turns what would otherwise be barley and malt tea into a boozy beverage
