Let’s talk BEER.
Craft beer, to be specific. And no, it’s not just for your bougie friend that pronounces Barcelona “Barthelona.”
The Majestic Dining and Bar in Petersham features an awesome Italian dining experience, and a cocktail bar that also includes a wide selection of the best craft beers in the country.
Craft beer is generally a beer that has been brewed by a small-scale brewery that only produces a small batch every year.
The word “small” in that sentence can be misleading. It just means that craft beer production is smaller than those massive brewery offerings like Coopers Pale Ale, or Felons Crisp.
The key difference between commercial beer and craft beer is the level of “craftsmanship” that goes into it.
Commercial breweries are only concerned with pumping out high volumes of beer to the public as fast as possible. Speed is prioritised over quality, and while it creates a perfectly serviceable beer, it does little for the drinking experience.
Craft beer breweries take a little longer to brew their beers because they prioritise craftsmanship over speed. Everything is personally brewed and overseen by brew masters that take their jobs extremely seriously.
Craft beer is a beer brewed by independent breweries that aren’t owned by large corporations. This gives them more freedom to experiment and to improve their product, as they have no obligations to any faceless corporate entity that’s demanding a higher bottom line.
It’s about the beer, not the money.
And that makes a difference—a difference you can taste.
Craft Beers: The best beer to drink.
Look, if you’re looking to get drunk, then any beer will do. But if you’re looking to get drunk in style, then you need to pick a craft beer.
Craft brewers tend to advertise their products as an experience. They use flowery words that sound impressive without actually meaning anything. This has had the unintended consequence of alienating a large group of beer drinkers, who don’t have time to deal with any of that fancy terminology.
If you’re one of those more traditional, conservative drinkers, then here’s everything you need to know about craft beer without all the flowery terminology.
Higher Quality Hops, Yeast, and Malt.
Craft beers are brewed with higher-quality ingredients. Craft breweries simply can’t match the production power of commercial breweries, which means they need to create a superior product if they’re going to be able to compete.
This forces them to use only the best malt, hops and yeast they can find in their products.
Perfected Brewing Methods.
They tend to use traditional, time-proven methods that have been perfected over centuries – millennia even – to create a delicious, well-cared-for beverage that can blow your socks off.
Variety
In recent years, commercial beer tastes the same. They have to please as many people as possible, which means they create a general, comfortable beer that doesn’t innovate, doesn’t dare, and doesn’t change.
Craft beers don’t care about pleasing everyone, and are constantly trying to push the envelope, developing daring, exciting new beers that are both delicious and modern!
Craft beers are just better. They have a wider variety, are tastier, are made with better ingredients, and are created with brewing methods that have been perfected over thousands of years.
It’s that simple.
