The ideal beer search: a laugh and hops path
If you have ventured through social networks, surely you have encountered lists that classify everything from the best songs to sing in the shower to the most curious snacks of the movies. And, of course, beer is not far behind. Although it is undeniable that rankings are fun, sometimes they may seem like an absurd tad. See beer as ‘the best’? That is like trying to choose your favorite song: impossible!
The debate of the ‘best’ beer: flavors and perspectives
First, let’s clarify something: taste is subjective. What can be a delight for the palate of one, could be a fiasco for another. After a couple of beers and some tastings, your preferences can change dramatically. Worldwide, the variety of beers is so vast that choosing a single ‘better’ is a task as monumental as finding a needle in a gigantic haystack. Who would dare to point out an IPA as the best when there are thousands of them in the market?
And what are the real brewer jewels?
Despite the above, we have decided to make a list … with a small turn and some humor. Here is our collection on beers that really matter, and are not in any classification table.
1. The beer you have in hand
Come on, if you have a beer in your hand, you are already doing something right. It may not be the best in the world, but isn’t it better than being dry? It is surprising how in certain conversations, the most relaxing option is usually the one that is right in front.
2. Your next option
When you finish your first beer and you have already decided which one will be, that is pure happiness. The simple fact of planning your next choice can raise any meeting.
3. The beer of your favorite memory
Certainly, we all have those beers that evoke special moments. They may not be traditional attributes of ‘the best’, but the nostalgia and the emotional connection they bring are invaluable. Each sip is a return to those moments of shared joy.
4. The beer given
Let’s be honest, a beer that you didn’t pay is always a pleasure. Be it a courtesy in an unexpected event or surprise, those beers usually have a special flavor, even if, sometimes, they are not the most impressive.
5. Your personal creation
Finally, if you have not tried to make your own beer, you are really losing an experience. There is nothing more satisfactory than enjoying a drink made with your own hands. Anyone who has tried the art of homemade elaboration knows that, although the result is not always perfect, the process is the real treasure.
Final reflection on beer and communion
At the end of the day, the best beer is one that creates a moment, which carries memories and shares with good friends. The lists are fun, but what really matters is to enjoy every sip in the context of life. So, raise your glass! Health!
