Hop Into Beer: What’s the difference between Hops, Malt, and Barley

There are three things that you can watch forever: how a fire burns, how water flows, and how cold beer is poured into a crystal clear glass.

I mean, can you imagine a world without beer?

A boring Super Bowl finale, dull conversations over a glass of broccoli smoothie, and a movie where the hardworking heroes take a carton of cold, refreshing milk out of the refrigerator. Just imagine it, in a beer-less world there would be no graphic fights at football matches, or the movie The Hangover, along with the entire country of Ireland! (just kidding).

Lucky for the beer geeks! The universe has created endless types of beer. This means beer land is a place where our imagination can run wild!

And if brewing is a whole science, like the art of potions from Potteriana, then let us be your personal Severus Snape, and dive together into the magical world of Beer! Today we will learn the difference between hops, malt, and barley!

New Year, New Beer: Beers From Around the World

It’s a curious thing that the inception of beer, quite literally, drove the evolution of humankind and human civilization overall. And no, we don’t have proof of that, but neither do anthropologists, by the way. However, it is perfectly reasonable to believe that we evolved according to the advantages of alcoholic beverages. And with beer being one of the oldest beverages in the world, the influence it still has on modern society is no surprise. 

As earth completes yet another trip around the sun, best believe that humans will once again clink their pints and sing a resounding ‘aah’ at the crisp taste of beer. So, we’re celebrating with a little something we like to call ‘New Beer’s Eve. Read below as we tell you about beers from around the world and how you can make beer a part of your new year’s celebration.
