I’ve been intrigued by the idea of waxing my own beer bottles for quite some time now. And now that I’m officially a homebrewer, I have proper justification. Not only does adding wax add as an extra precaution in preserving the beer, it also adds a certain “cool” factor to the aesthetic look. Fortunately, you can wax your own beer bottles for about $5.00 USD, if you know where to look.
For craft beer lovers, it may be one thing you wish never happens. You’re out to eat at a restaurant, or out at a pub with your friends and there is no craft beer available. Here’s what to do, so that you can enjoy yourself and your company without looking like a snob.
My original article on beer glassware started out with three of the most pivotal styles of glassware for craft beer: Snifter, Pilsner and Tulip glass. Certainly there are more options out there that have their place, and I plan on concluding the rest of, what I think, are the most important (and widely used) styles.
Ever since I’ve become an admitted “beer snob” my tolerance for macrobreweries has become horribly thin. So much, in fact, that I won’t purchase anything remotely owned or operated by them. It’s a new trend the big guys at Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors are trying to get on, craft beer imitation and deception.
By now, I hope everyone realizes that there are more fitting options for your craft beer than the standard pint glass. While the pint glass certainly has its place amongst the repertoire of craft beer, certain styles are better suited for a different style of glass.
