  • Beer Department: What is Lupulin Powder?

    Comments Off on Beer Department: What is Lupulin Powder?
    Hops! These delicious little green cones of flavor have been the dominant bittering agent in virtually all beer for the last 600 years or so. First described botanically by Roman statesman Pliny the Elder, he named the plant Humulus lupulus, taking the species name from the Latin word for wolf. This was a nod to Pliny’s observation that, in the wild, hop bines tended to snake through existing foliage, moving among them like a wolf among sheep. Read article

  • Beer Department: So what makes a beer “imperial” anyway?

    Comments Off on Beer Department: So what makes a beer “imperial” anyway?

    This is a question we hear fairly often in the beer department. You may have noticed many a beer label with the words “imperial stout” or “imperial IPA” or even more exotic permutations such as “imperial pilsner.” Well, the answer to this question is fairly straightforward but deserves a small history lesson for more context.

    Simply put, the term “imperial” means that the beer is a bigger, fuller bodied version of the base style.

  • Beer Department: Barrel Aging vs. Barrel Fermenting

    Comments Off on Beer Department: Barrel Aging vs. Barrel Fermenting
    ​The interplay of beer and wood is complex and somewhat daunting to fully grasp. I won’t pretend to be able to cover it all here – for an in-depth exploration of everything you’d ever need to know, I strongly recommend Wood and Beer by Dick Cantwell and Peter Bouckaert. What’s important for our purposes is to know that some styles of beer, by definition, come into contact with wood. ​ Ambitious brewers today are even exposing beers that traditionally saw no wood whatsoever to wood in ​the hopes of deriving new flavors, Read article
