With the current golden age of microbrew, the advent of seasonal beers is becoming more and more well known.  Seasonal beers add a distinctive change of pace of the beer fan’s drinking regimen throughout the year.  There is a correlation between the changing of the seasonal beers and the changing of the season: certain beers taste better in warm weather, and certain beers taste better in cold weather.

The history of beer brewing extends far back into ancient history. Historical evidence of beer making can be found as far back as ancient Egypt. The history of beer brewing in America has for the most part been one of community. These days, folks from all around are realizing that they can make good tasting, high quality beers for the price of schwill. With a little elbow grease and patience, that is. These are folks that are opening a new chapter in the history of beer brewing in the United States. 100 years ago, however, all of this was common knowledge.

Beer comes in many shapes and forms.  Recognizing a good beer starts with knowing what the brewer has intended for his brew.  In the world of home brewing, beer review (and peer review) is very important to refining one’s skill. By getting together with other brewers and ‘beer snobs’, you can try out your brews among the palates of others, and give your friends a chance to rate beer at your very own beer tasting.
