In the Belgian Trappist breweries,, but also at Abbaye du Mont des Cats (France), Abdij Maria Toevlucht in Zundert (Netherlands) and Abbey of Cardeña (Spain), they're brewing exclusively Belgian top-fermented ales. They have their own naming conventions. There is "enkel", which is a light blonde ale, "dubbel", which is a stronger brown ale, "trippel", which is a strong pale ale, and "quadrupel", which is a very strong dark ale. At Stift Engelszell in Austria they additionally make a wheat beer and at Brouwerij de Koningshoeven (La Trappe) in the Netherlands, they also make a wheat beer as well as a bockbier. At St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer (MA) they have the most variety: Apart from their Belgian ales, they also make a farmhouse ale, a pilsner, a Vienna lager, two IPAs and an imperial stout. At Tre Fontane Abbey in Italy, they also make a stout.

      @@legrinu oh I don't think I'd agree with that. While German breweries are wonderful and of course the inspiration for so many other beers around the world, they are notoriously stubborn and can be known for rejecting contemporary ideas when it comes to modernizing their beers.
      Some newer German breweries just in the past 10 years have begun using American beer styles and ingredients for their recipes and they've been extremely popular. That makes a good case for American beer I'd say, but if want more proof... American breweries have actually begun placing high in German beer contests. For instance a couple years ago, pFriem Brewery in Oregon sent a German Pilsner to a Pilsner competition in Germany and won. Beat out over 100 German breweries.

    I imagine him getting stopped at a checkpoint. "Sir, have you been drinking?" "Absolutely, thanks for asking. I have this exceptional Belgian style Tripel, which you can see from the color and very slight cloudiness was likely brewed with a malted barley imported from the a Northern region in Poland known for it's excellent soil but unusually short growing season. It adds a depth of flavor, but is even more prominent in the nose, where you can pick up not just the rich toffee notes normally associated with malt, but a slight earthiness that's rather unique."

      @chitoryu12 5 років тому +8

      The number of beer styles is absolutely mind-boggling. Beer Advocate has 111 different styles for their reviews to fall into. A lot of people think of beer as American adjunct lagers like Budweiser or Coors (where they pad out the barley with cheaper corn and rice and try to eliminate as much flavor as possible to make it easy to drink), but there's also porters (dark, bitter, roasted coffee and chocolate flavors), Vienna lager (amber colored with a malty and slightly bitter taste), Scotch ales that taste like dough, brown ales with a very mild and malty flavor, etc.
      And then there's the weird stuff, like the sour fruit beers he tried. There's beers fermented with wild yeasts to give them sour or "barnyard" scents and flavors, gruit beers that use a mixture of botanicals instead of hops like medieval ale, smoked beers, rye beers, beers made mostly from rice in Japan, and oatmeal stout. A local microbrewery in Sanford, FL makes a white chocolate amaretto beer that tastes exactly like that, to the point where you wouldn't know it was beer if you weren't told.
      There's very likely more variation in beer than any other beverage on the planet. The flavors encompass sweet, bitter, sour, bready, smoky, savory, and everything else on the planet. Someone who says "I don't like beer" is saying something similar to "I don't like sauce."

      There should be a whole 10 minute video just hammering that point home about the Pilsner. There are so many american brewers that think it needs to be smooth and malty. And it's true that some german pilsners lean towards the malty side, but they at least clean up at the end and have a clean finish. But nobody in my neck of the woods is even bothering to make a good, crisp, czech style pils with that minerally bite to it. Which is a damn shame, because it's one of my favorite styles to drink when it's fresh and local.
