It doesn't :) Can you imagine brewers using glucose syrup and hop extract in say the 16th century? :)
Some beer styles traditionally contain rice, some Japanese for instance. Budweiss lager does not, though.
Hi @godfish!
It's a pleasure to see you here. Well, I will say something, in my country, compared to other countries, there is little beer culture, and I don't mean consumption, but manufacturing. Although there have been some artisanal factories, with the crisis that we have experienced for two decades (approximately), these have been disappearing.
For now, I share with you my experience when tasting these beers, which are the ones I can get where I live (by the way, I live in a rural area of my country), because I value the sensory experience I have when drinking them. Just being able to appreciate the flavor, the smell, the color of the beers is something valuable to me, and at the same time the learning experience I have when reading the posts of connoisseurs and the comments on my posts.
Thank you very much for your visit. Happy week!
Then you may get at least a bit of overwiev by reading other #beersaturday and #beer posts. People sample various beers of various styles and share their thoughts there.
I have come to this community at the invitation of @detlev, an invitation that I greatly appreciate, because it allows me to learn more about a very special drink, and of course I read the posts of other colleagues, because it is a way to learn and share; in addition to bringing the beers that I get here, where I live.
I appreciate your interest in my content and your interaction @godfish . Hugs!
Note: Whenever you like, you are invited to the gastronomic communities under my care: Foodies Bee Hive, Amazing Drinks (here you can publish any other drink, except beer and coffee) and Plant Power (Vegan), you surely have excellent recipes to share.
I might check them out, but I am rather too much on the beer side I'd say :))
