INTRODUCTION TO BEER

Beer is: A non-distilled, fermented extract of cereal (usually malted barley) which is flavoured with hops.

Beer is the third most popular drink in the world, after water and tea! It’s origins can be traced back as far as Ancient Egypt but over the millennia, hundreds of different brewing processes and styles have developed. Beer is broken into three main categories, into which all the different styles fall.

• Top fermented • Lively, unpredictable

ALE

• Bottom

fermented • Stable product

LAGER

• Spontaneous fermentation • Usually sour

LAMBIC

BEER INGREDIENTS

HOPS Hops are a climbing, flowering plant. Each hop variety has it’s own attributes and brings something different to a beer. Hops are mainly used for bitterness and aroma.

MALT Many types of grain can be used to brew beer but barley is the most widely used. A grain must be malted to develop sugars, colour and flavours before it is used to make beer.

WATER Water is the most important and influential ingredient in the brewing process. Brewers call it ‘liquor’. Depending on where the water is from, depends on how it will affect the beer.

YEAST Yeast is a single cell fungus which ingests sugars and excretes C02 and alcohol. Depending on which style of yeast is used determines which type of beer you are making. Yeast is used to produce alcohol and carbonation, but also affects flavour and aromas.

Malt is used for sugar, colour and flavour .

Water is used for body and texture.

THE BREWING PROCESS

How beer is made will vary slightly from beer to beer but the key steps remain the same as per the diagram.

Watch the video below to see how beer is made.

PERFECT SERVE

GLASSWARE • Ensure you use correct branded glassware where possible, glasses are designed to enhance the product • Always - C lean, C old, C hip free, Dry

BOTTLED BEERS •Open bottle • Pour at 45 degree angle into glass • Tilt until 5% head achieved •Watch out for sediment at the bottom – always leave it for the guest to pour

QUALITY CONTROL

KEG DRAUGHT PRODUCTS

A keg is a pressurised barrel containing products that will be served through the bar fonts – products like lagers, ciders and specialty draught products. Kegs are stored in an upright position and use gas to drive the liquid up through the taps. Kegs should always be stored in the cellar between 11-13C. Service temperatures vary depending on the product. Keg Ales, Sparkling or Creamflow products should be served at 8-10C. Standard lagers, super – chilled Ales & Stouts should be served at 5-7C.

Changing a Keg

You may be required to change a keg – it is vital that you follow correct procedure to do this for your own safety.

TASTING BEER

When tasting beer, it’s not all about the flavours. Tasting is a joint effort between our senses. To create a tasting note we need to consider the following..

A PPEARANCE – Colour, Clarity, Carbonation

A ROMA – what can you smell?

A ll A pples F all B efore F lowers

F LAVOUR – what does it taste like?

B ODY – how heavy does the beer feel in your mouth ?

To help you remember

F INISH – what is the last sensation? How long does it last?

For example: A light bodied golden beer, with grassy aromas, fruity flavours & a long bitter finish.

TASTING PROCESS

• Look at your beer • Check the colour, clarity & carbonation

SEE

• Swirl the beer around in your glass • This will release the aromas

SWIRL

• Take a short sniff of your beer • Sniff again – what can you smell?

SNIFF

• Take a mouthful of beer • Move it around in your mouth, making sure you cover all parts of your tongue

Your tongue tastes different sensations at different parts – make sure you cover all of them to get the full experience!

SWISH

• Swallow the beer • Concentrate on whether you can feel any bitterness & what the last sensation is

Cider is created from fermented apple juice

Cider has been fermented and enjoyed for centuries, fruit juice fermentations were recorded by the ancient Egyptians.

Any type or style of apple can be used to create cider, although, traditionally only varieties of bittersweet & bittersharp apples were used. These types of apples are named after its flavour profile – bitterness followed by either sweet or very sharp / sour notes, not great for eating but perfect for cider production.

Today cider is produced in a variety of styles:

Sparkling

Cloudy

Hazey

Bright

Still

Retains some of the yeast used to ferment the juice

Retains some of the yeast used to ferment the juice

All of the yeast is removed

No carbonation

Created by adding a carbonator e.g. carbon dioxide

Cider can have an alcohol of between 1.2% - 8.49%, after this it becomes wine, low alcohol ciders are available and are typically below 1.2% which legally makes them soft drinks.

Cider ingredients

Apples

Water Water is a vital part of the process: thousands of litres are used by Cider Mills on a daily basis. As the water is blended with the apple juice before fermentation. Water quality is absolutely critical to the finished product. Water provides texture and with contribute to the ciders mouthfeel.

Yeast Live yeast cells are added to the apple juice and water blend and are used to create alcohol, they feed on sugar and excrete alcohol and CO2. Yeast strains must be carefully selected to ensure that they are suitable for the type of product that is being produced, yeast selection will affect finished product and aroma.

There are more than 7,500 varieties of apple – each with their own specific and desirable qualities. Grown in orchards, apples trees crop once a year and are harvested by shaking the trees and collecting the fallen fruit from the floor. Bittersweet, Bittersharp, Culinary and even Crab apples can be used to create different flavour profiles when blended together in the finished product.

Regional differences in cider flavour & profile

West Midlands & South West of England: have a distinctive bittersweet taste (bitterness), & mouth feel (astringency and body) and spicy, woody and smoky characteristics of traditional high-tannin cider apples

Eastern Counties: traditionally made from dessert apples. Display fresh, acidic and high fruity notes typical of the types of apple used

Somerset: often quite dry and typically display the fruity and tannin-like qualities of local bittersweet & bittersharp apples . Herefordshire: Distinctively bitter, full bodied and astringent. High tannin flavours, almost certainly made from traditional bittersweet varieties. Big on fruit flavours, oaky & spicy

French ciders : typically low in alcohol, often fairly sweet, with sherry-like qualities. Frequently naturally sparkling due to secondary in-bottle fermentation. Spanish ciders : usually quite dry, non- carbonated (still) and often have a noticeable acetic acid tang

Devon: much more woody flavours, typically mahogany coloured and fairly acidic .

The cider making process

Authentic cider makers will follow a simple eight step process, beginning with harvesting in early October. Fresh juice once pressed will then be fermented and slowly matured to deliver flavour & character. Alternatively, concentrate can be added at step 5 rather than using fresh juice and then bottled, canned & kegged almost immediately.

Draught cider perfect serve

▪ Pour the cider directly into the centre of the glass, allowing the cider to hit the central nucleation spot to encourage carbonation & mouth-feel ▪ Hold the glass upright, no need to tilt at a 45° angle ▪ Do not allow the font nozzle to touch the cider when pouring

FONT

▪

Use the correctly branded glass

GLASS

▪ Ensure it is always – clean, cold, chip free & dry

▪ Serve to the guest, keeping fingers from the rim of the glass ▪ Ensure the branding is facing the guest

SERVE

Quality control: draught kegged cider

▪ The ideal temperature for keg dispense is between 5 ° C - 8 ° C, for storage we would recommend no greater than 13 ° C.

Temperature

▪ Keg lines should be cleaned at least every 7 days, only recommended line cleaning products should be used & excess line cleaning fluid should be disposed of afterwards to avoid contamination. ▪ Thorough cleaning is required as yeast could affect the products clarity and can lead to fobbing.

Cleanliness

▪ Gas cylinders should be stored upright in a secure position and should be switched off after use, as this can potentially cause fobbing. Only use the correct mix of gas as directed by your cellar service technician. ▪ Ensure the cellar is well ventilated as stale air will make cider hazey, although draughts should be avoided

Storage

Quality Control: draught bag-in-box cider

The use of Bag-in-Box for draught, still ciders and perries will allow an extended shelf-life, enabling products to remain in peak condition to the very last drop in the bag. Dispense can either be direct from the bag via its integral tap, or using an adaptor via a hand pull.

How to use the HAND PULL DISPENSE ADAPTOR: Supplied with these instructions are the following:

▪

1 adaptor

▪

1 section of spacer pipe

▪

1 Jubilee Clip 1 cleaning tap

▪

1. Remove old fitting from pipe by cutting off or by undoing the existing Jubilee Clip. 2. Slide the Jubilee Clip over the pipe and leave loose. 3. Push adaptor into end of tube and tighten jubilee clip if too tight soften tube with hot water and if too loose use the section of spacer pipe to pack out the tube. 4. Remove red safety tag from tap. 5. Fit adaptor over tap ensuring the lip of the tap is seated squarely on top of the washer and turn screw cap on top to open tap, thereby clamping the adaptor and opening the tap, allowing product into the delivery line. 6. We strongly recommend cleaning the line before the first use and every week thereafter. To do this disconnect adaptor from tap. Fit the enclosed cleaning tap into adaptor and turn the screw cap. This opens the tap and the non-return valve within it, allowing fluids to pass through. Submerge the end of the tube along with adaptor and cleaning tap into a container of line cleaning solution and proceed as normal. NB. Should you ever lose the cleaning tap, one can be cut off a used Bag-in-Box.

Tasting process

Appearance, agitate & aroma Are there bubbles? Is it still? Is there a head? Any foam? Agitate / swirl to release the aroma Take a big sniff, it should smell fresh. Any scents of drains, eggs, vinegar indicate an infection. Any chemical smells indicate line cleaning issues

A

Vinegar, Sherry & wet cardboard – suggest the product has oxidised Banana (know as cider sickness) caused by bacterial contamination

Body Does the cider cling to the sides of the glass? Does the cider have legs / tears?

Sour Milk / Yoghurt – bacterial infection

B

OFF NOTES:

Clarity Bright ciders should be shiny & luminous Cloudy ciders should have even and fluid distribution of the sediment to form natural haze

C

Does it taste good? The cider should taste appley and typically cider

Fever Tree Refreshingly Light Mixers

STYLE: Tonics & Mixers Country of Origin: UK

Light Indian Tonic Water : Our Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic Water uses a handful of different botanicals, including our distinctive natural quinine and oils from Mexican Bitter Oranges, to give a uniquely clean and refreshing taste and aroma. Light Aromatic Tonic Water: Ginger and cardamom give our Aromatic Tonic Water a gentle spice and Madagascan vanilla adds a delicate sweetness. The result is a uniquely refreshing aromatic flavour that has a dry and clean finish, with beautiful citrus notes. Light Mediterranean Tonic Water: We use less quinine in our Mediterranean Tonic which, with the addition of rosemary and lemon thyme, produces a much lighter, more fragrant tonic. Light Elderflower Tonic: The delicate and sweet flavour of elderflower is perfectly balanced by the soft bitterness of the quinine, which pairs perfectly with fresh and floral gins and premium vodkas.

PremiumMixer/Soft Fever-Tree White Grape & Apricot Soda

STYLE: Premium, sweet & floral mixer

Origin: United Kingdom, Italy We've chosen a couple of delicious varieties from the iconic wine-making Veneto region in the northeast of Italy. They are grown in Treviso, an area famed for these special grapes, which are usually reserved for prosecco production. These grapes are high in acidity and sugar resulting in a slightly aromatic palate and are smaller than a usual table grape, with green skins and a tart flavour. The grapes are handpicked from vines that are grown unusually high off the ground due to a unique growing technique that dates back to the 19th Century.

A light yellow coloured liquid, characteristic of white grape, apricot and floral botanicals

A white grape base pairs perfectly with sweet apricot top notes and a complex herbaceous finish, which is fantastic with vermouths and Italian bitters for a light and fruity summer spritz.
