Beer culture is something that can be learned. Some people are innately beer lovers and try different ones until they find the ones that truly captivate them. Others start trying it later in life, end up liking it, not just for its taste but for everything that comes with drinking a beer. If, in addition, this beer is handcrafted, with quality ingredients, with a master brewer overseeing each and every step of the artisan beer making process, and with a lot, a lot of love... beer culture becomes a passion.
7 purposes to promote beer culture and
enjoy your craft beer more
To become a beer trivialist, start by following these 8 purposes and then delve deeper to master the subject.
- If you only drink beer with appetizers, open your eyes! (and your taste buds). Craft beer opens up many more possibilities; there are beers that taste better with meat, others with pickles, and there are even some like Winter that enhance their flavor with dessert.
- Practice the "tardeo" (late afternoon social gathering). Make beer the main protagonist of your afternoons, after work, with friends, watching your favorite game.
- Enjoy it with friends. In our Mediterranean culture, enjoying beer is always linked to different ways of socializing with friends, family, colleagues... lunches, dinners, after-work drinks, appetizers... any excuse is a good one, but always surrounded by the best people.
- Explore craft beer. Don't stick to just one type. Try them all and discover the variety of flavors, smells, nuances, and colors that this type of beer offers. In our Saturday tastings (at 12 PM, with prior registration) you have an excellent opportunity to taste them all, including pairings.
- Learn about pairing. Find out what you can pair your beer with to enhance its flavor and enjoy it to the fullest.
- Say no to the shaker pint. A good beer is served in a glass, to appreciate its color, its flavor, its body... the shaker pint detracts from the beer's value.
- Drink to remember. Don't forget to drink in moderation, be prudent. Craft beer is made to be enjoyed, not to lose your mind and not remember the moment.
An Althaia Artesana beer is the best reward to break away from the daily routine and change your mindset. Your day is much less difficult if you know that in the end you can enjoy an authentic craft beer.
