And after the initial boom of West Coast IPA, the cloudy New England style came along to dominate the scene. But these days, the beer consumer has a more varied palate. From craft breweries embracing rice as an adjunct in lagers, experiments with wild yeast, and reviving centuries-old brewing techniques, there are a lot of factors chang

Depending on what country you’re in — and in some cases, what part of a country you’re in — the beer style can take on many different forms. There are dozens of beers that technically qualify as lagers , whether or not “lager” is even in the name: pilsners, modern-day porter s, bocks, dunkels — the list goes on.

Known for its distinct smoky, borderline medicinal essence, peat is an integral part of the Scotch production process. And love it or hate it, this accumulation of plant and organic matter is an integral part of the whisky production process. According to the Scottish government , approximately 80 percent of all whisky in the country is made with the stuff, which releases compounds called phenols when burned during the malting process.

The moment Europeans arrived on American shores, they started making wine. Initially, however, three things went wrong. First, when they brought over Vitis vinifera, phylloxera — which is native to North America — infected the vines and they were unable to adjust to the new climate. When they pivoted to using native grape varieties, the resulting wines didn’t have the same flavor profile they were used to back home.
