Yesterday we were able to taste at two different breweries. The first was fairly quick but my taste for their beer was sad end because of a fruity peach flavored beer that my taste buds were not too fond of. I prefer to drink beer that taste like beer. My stomach does not have a tolerance for sweet fruit flavored beers. I appreciated that fact that they were able to create a beer that was far from the other two that we tasted. The fruity beer was way to potent so it made my experience difficult to enjoy.
The second brewery was fantastic. The tour guide was able to show us an open fermentation pan that was located outside on top of the brewery. It’s not used anymore but the sight of the huge fermentation pan was a cool sight. It was cool to see the different substances that went into the beer like liquorish, orange peels, etc... The different substances put in the process of making the beer was very different from Germany because Germany is under the Purity Law. The Purity Law only allows them to put in hops, malts, water, and yeast. The tour added to what the tours before us did so we heard similar things but whatever the other tours did not cover this tour guide did. For instance, we talked over and over about the filtering process and the machine I never really knew how the machine worked. The guide went over the specific details on the filtering process and how the machine operated. The tour included a bonus because they also work with whisky. We were able to see the whisky in the barrels and based on financial figures how long the whisky was going to stay in the barrels. I didn’t know that the word “whisky” is different from the American use of “whiskey.” There is a law in Europe that the whisky can only be used if it is approved and distilled for the appropriate amount of time.
Later, I was able to enjoy Spaghetti Bolognese! AWESOME!
Other than that... That was my day!
Aloha
