The essence of enjoying a good beer
In a world where craft beer has become an almost sacred experience, it is easy to get carried away and become an expert of what can end up being unnecessary elitism. But, do we really want our talks about beers to look like a master class? Here I share an original tips list that will keep you in the path of good taste, without becoming the person they all avoid in the bar.
The dangers of crystal management
Ah, the glassware, that artifact that seems to transform any beer into the nectar of the gods. If the bar does not have that special cup you thought, breathe deep and relax. Not all bars have the same level of crystals and, honestly, a well -served beer in a standard vessel remains a celebration.
Relax with hops, friend!
It is undeniable that IPAS have taken prominence in artisanal beers, but not all are experts in the turns and nuances of each hops. You can share your love for aroma and taste, but make sure you leave space for conversation, and remember: It is not a classification exam!
The waiter is not your rival
Are you in a bar of craft beers and do you think the sommelier of the place? Be careful, the waiter is only there to do his job. Instead of questioning your knowledge about the offer, enjoy attention and, if you have an interesting data pair, share them with sympathy, not with judgment.
The battle of the big brands
If you have decided to stop taking beers of large brands just because ‘they sold’, hold! It’s a bit like saying that you can’t listen to your favorite band because it is now on the radio. Take that beer and leave the trial aside. Remember that good beer is enjoyed, does not discriminate.
It is not necessary to show off your credentials
If you have certified yourself as Cicerone, excellent! But it is not necessary to use it as a presentation card in each conversation. The passion you have for beer should shine more than any title. Nobody likes a show-off, so you better share knowledge without ostentation.
Warden and Ego Lights Funds
Let’s avoid the arrogance of being the first to discover something. The certainty of having been a pioneer in the taste for certain beers does not give you a superior status. Beer is a shared experience, not a trophy to hold.
Amena selection strategy
If the only option is a classic like Miller Lite, don’t be distressed! Sometimes, a simple beer can be the best company, so it provides for friendship, although the choice is not that of experts.
Do not tear down beers to the drain!
If a beer does not satisfy your standards, it is good to leave it aside, but do not throw it without thinking. Each beer has its history, and although not all of your liking, it is a sacrilege to sweeten your day.
Enjoy without being a critic
Beer is not just an analysis object. If you are in front of an elusive bottle that you have desired, open it, feel it and let it flow. Your friends will thank you, and you too. A calm beer is much better than a styles debate.
Closing with style and humility
So the next time you are preparing to enjoy a beer, remember these tips and avoid falling into the snobism trap. The true joy of drinking a good beer lies in pleasure, the company and, above all, in neglecting self -imposed labels. Health!
