Talk Like A Pirate Day – Friday, Sept 19

It’s that time of year again.  Talk Like A Pirate Day!!!  I will be celebrating at The Humidor Cigar Bar & Lounge this year.

Join me as we debut a new beer, Piraat Ale.   Piraat Ale is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale style beer brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge N.V. in Ertvelde, Belgium.  At 10.5% ABV, this brew will no doubt shiver your timbers!

We are offering a 10% discount to anyone wearing pirate gear, from simple to elaborate.   Earn a free cigar by singing a pirate song (which we will record naturally).

Talk like a pirate or walk the plank! NO COVER

Beer Talk: Ale vs. Lager

We all know beer is fermented yeast, some grain, hops, and water.  But what separates an ale from a lager?   Simply stated, temperature.  That is, the fermentation temperature.

Ales are typically fruiter, with a more robust taste created by combining top-fermenting yeast and warmer brewing temperatures.  The ale family of beers includes wheat ale, brown ale, amber ale, and Indian pale ale (IPA).  Also included in the ale camp are stouts and porters.

Lagers;  including American lagers, pilsners, marzens, and bocks are usually on the drier, crisper side are created with a cold fermentation process using bottom-fermenting yeast.

That is a very basic breakdown of the differences between the two beer styles.   Keep looking as I breakdown each type within the families.

Slante!
