Why craft beer is becoming more popular in Hong Kong?
In recent years, the public demands for drinking beer have been greatly improved, they are not simply in need of a can of chilled beer, but the pursuit of different flavors, fruitiness, and bitterness. If you like a milder taste, you can choose the Pale Ale or White Ale style of craft beers. And if you like hop flavour that is full-bodied, India pale ale is your best choice, while like stout can choose potter or stout craft beer. The taste of some craft beers will become sweeter at lower temperatures, and rising temperatures will enrich their wheat flavor and bring out more layers, which is why more and more people now choose to drink craft beers in HK.
Different styles of craft beer
There are a few varieties of craft beers, and here are some of the main ones:
1) Lager
It is a fermentation method in the bottom layer. This craft beer is made at low temperature to make the yeast sink during the mellow process, which makes the Lager clearer, showing a golden and transparent wine body color. The yeast taste is light, and the taste is refreshing, mainly with malt and hop flavors.
2) Pale Ale
Pale Ale is made of pale malt, using top-fermenting method and fermented at 16-21 degrees, giving it rich fruit and spice flavors. This craft beer’s body color is between golden and amber.
3) India Pale Ale
India Pale Ale is a hoppy, bitter craft beer style. It is not the same as its name which is from India, but after the British rule in India, in order to provide beer to the British people there were still living in India, the British Brewery added a large number of hops to increase the alcohol content of beer to make its shelf life to be longer, for the long transport period from the British to India, and so this bitter India Pale Ale craft beer was born.
4) Porter / Stout
Porter and Stout are British Dark beers. Porter is a dark brown Ale brewed from dark-roasted malt. It has coffee, chocolate, smoke and roast aromas on the palate and nose. Stout, on the other hand, is an enhanced version of Porter, brewed directly from roasted barley, with a stronger roasted character and a bit of acidity. Its body color is Dark black color.
5) Cider
Cider is a fruit wine made mainly from apple juice, not with wort. There are two types of Cider: one is heavier sweetness, which the yeast is being filtered through repeated fermentation to increase its sugar content. And the other is refreshing and not too sweet, and uses yeast to consume most of the sugar in apple juice used.
