There are normally two types of refrigeration models that are good choices for typical kegerators, and these are the stand-up refrigerator and the waist high or chest freezer. Regardless of the brand, what is important is that the refrigerator to be converted must be ideal and congruent with your space requirements. You have to determine if you want a storage space for your beer or if you would prefer it for serving purposes and for how many beers you would like to serve at any given period, as these considerations would help you choose the right refrigerator for your kegerator conversion. The most commonly used type for kegerator conversions by kegerator enthusiasts is the stand-up refrigerator...

Did you know that Beer is an integral part of German culture? With more than 1,000 breweries, Germany stands apart as the leader compared to other manufacturers in the world. There are strict quality laws that ensure the purity of the beer manufactured. This helps the manufacturers to differentiate from what can be used and what can't be. In short, Barley malt, hops and water are the only ingredients allowed for German beer manufacturers. Because of the quality check and stringent laws, one can find German beers to be better in terms of quality. Unlike other beers which offer aftertaste, German beers are known for their special quality. Weizen, Koelsch and Altiber are some of the well known German...

Guinness is an Irish institution and if you visit any pub in Ireland you will see Guinness has pride of place at the bar. Often referred to as 'the black stuff,' Guinness is a stout beer which is typically a malt beer with a caramel flavour and bitterness in the finish. Guinness is made with four natural ingredients (water, barley, hops, yeast) and with the addition of isinglass during the filtration process. Guinness was first brewed in 1759, but it was not until 1769 that the beer was exported. Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease for an unused brewery St James Gate brewery in 1959, a lease that cost only £45 per year. Today St James Gate is the second largest brewery in the world and...

Bottling the Beer Bottling is not a hard part of the home brew process, but is important that you take your time and not contaminate the beer or the bottles during the procedure. Things to consider when choosing beer bottles: 1. Made of glass 2. Colored glass (brown and green) is favored over clear bottles. Light damages beer and the colored glass helps in protecting your brew. 3. Do not use twist off bottles. The caps will not seal along the threads. Bottles can be bought at a local beer-brewing retailer, or to save money you can reuse bottles that you have consumed in the past. I prefer to reuse bottles because it saves money and either way, you will still have to sanitize the bottles. Equipment...

German Beer Glasses: German beers tend to get their own special type of drinking glass, and the beer glasses are configured to enhance the taste of the beer. Hefeweizen, Kristallweizen and Dunkles are served in glasses that are tall and elegant, with a narrow base broadening toward the top before tapering slightly again. There is often a spiralling effect ascending from the bottom of the glass. Kölsch is commonly served up in a simple, tall, straight, cylindrical 200ml glass ("Kölsch-Stange"). Altbier is usually served in a straight, cylindrical 200ml glass, (or "Becher") shorter and broader than a Kölsch glass. Berliner Weisse tends to come in a rounded chalice with a stem like a champagne...

The beer that did not land on the archiepiscopal table was sold to the public for a...

You now can be part of the future of the beautiful NSW Great Lakes Region and the first golf course brewery resort in Australia.

The company is the major shareholder in Outback Brewery Pty LW, which brews quality beer for domestic and international markets, exporting to Japan, Taiwan and Singapore.

When people think of beer, they believe that drinking is the only way to consume beer. This, however, is not the case. Next time you are putting together a menu for a party, make sure that every dish has a secret ingredient...beer! To start a beer sampling meal off, serve a Wisconsin Cheese Beer Soup. This soup is a creamy indulgent mixture of cheese and beer that will delight any soup lover. For an added kick, add a splash of beer atop each serving of soup.

The US Beer Market The discussion on the U.S. beer market inevitably turns to Budweiser and its corner on the American suds market, no matter which segment is discussed. After all, how many other crowded consumer categories can boast a market leader with a 50 percent share? Stealing Share has investigated the beer market in the U.S. many times, and our brand work has carved out plenty of opportunity for some of America's most successful micro-brews and we have delved deeply into the reasons why beer drinkers choose the beer they prefer. Taste has nothing to do with it. How we can possibly say that when we have heard plenty of Bud drinkers, for example, proclaim that the only way Coors would cross...

Beer and nutrition might appear to be two unrelated terms. Right. We don't usually see those words together, but the truth is that perhaps, the drink called beer is a bit misunderstood. It may actually be good for you when consumed in very moderate amounts. Beer has been brewed for just about as long as humans have been cultivating crops and is actually made with some very healthy ingredients. Those ingredients are hops, brewer's yeast, barley and malt. There are different styles of beer and each style has a distinctive flavor and color.There are beers with much higher or lower levels alcohol, carbohydrates, and protein. The first question on my mind concerns how beer compares to other alcoholic...

Beer has always been a popular beverage to have at your bar or celebration. There are many types of beer enjoyed by people all over the globe. The most broad break down of beer is domestic and import. Domestic beers are beers made in the states, as imports are beers made outside of the states. Within those two categories beer is broken down into sub-categories, such as; Lagers, Stout, Colour, and alcoholic strength. Each type of beer has it's own unique flavor and quality making beer a great beverage for all kinds of people. Beer that is light and can be seen through is one of your most known and common beers. They have a lighter taste and they aren't as heavy. This makes them great for when your...

If you search the Internet for a beer chicken recipe you will have no trouble finding one. The problem is, most of the beer chicken recipes I have found are pretty wimpy. What I mean is, they all tell you to add a half cup or cup of beer along with mushrooms or some grated cheese or parsley. That's not a chicken cooked in beer recipe. It's chicken with a little beer added to the mix for for the purpose of stimulating conversation at the dinner table. Boring. So without further ado, I am going to turn you on to the ultimate beer chicken recipe. This really is Chicken Cooked In Beer. My beer chicken recipe came about through much trial and error and I want to make it clear, if you love beer, you're...

One of the best possible gifts for beer lovers is a membership of a beer of the month club. What is so good about a gift like this? Let's look at some of the benefits for the beer lover (or the person you are getting the gift for). First, with a beer of the month club membership, every month they will have the chance to taste new beers, usually from microbreweries. These beers are hard to find, boutique style beers which have been selected for their quality. This is a great way for a beer lover to discover superior new beers and ales which suit their taste. Rather than taking a chance with some new beers from a store, they will get beers which have been chosen by beer experts as being top quality...

While the variations of beer may not be as cut and dry as they are for wine (red, white, etc), the beverage has several distinctive styles and you can certainly create a more favorable food combination if you are interested in that sort of thing. If you have any experience with pairing wine with food, think of the distinctions between dishes served best with red wine and those better served with white wine. Whether you are familiar with wine and food pairing or not, consider the different types of beer from lighter taste to the darkest varieties as the spectrum of types. Starting from the lighter end of the spectrum are your pilsners and lagers. I find these work better with seafood, as the taste is...

The Challenge for Breweries in Today's Regulated Marketplace is immense. For the past decade the advertising of alcoholic products has been increasingly subject to both government regulation and self-regulatory bodies. In Canada, the CRTC's August 1996 Code for Broadcast Advertising of Alcoholic Beverages severely restricted the way in which alcohol products are presented on both radio and television. It is not an exaggeration to say that any advertisement adhering to these regulations would be dull indeed, and almost obscure any attempt at promotion - you can't enjoy yourself and drink beer at the same time! Print material such as entrepreneurial magazines and newspapers are less restricted, though...

There are many places to get beer-making supplies. If you are planning on brewing more than a couple of batches of beer you may want to purchase your supplies in bulk. If you buy in bulk you will often get a discount price and can therefore save more money on brewing each batch. Keep in mind, however, that some ingredients may spoil or go bad in time, so it's always best to keep just the ingredients on hand that you will be using in about a month or two. Beer making supplies and kits are often found at your local liquor store. Most often found in starter and refill kits, these don't allow for much variation. As you start to branch out and want to try new types of brews you will need to locate...

It can be a family project or just a new hobby for yourself. Many people do not understand why some make their own beer. They wonder why they want the big mess and all the clutter of creating their own brew.It really is not all that. They think that it is easier to go to the store and get what they want when they want it. However, it is not about the convenience or the cost of the beer in the stores. The actual reason why a lot of people are making their own beer is because they think it is fun and exciting. This is a way for them to do the hobby that they like and that keeps them busy. Some people create their own brew because they have never tried it before and now they want the opportunity. there...

Bottling is an essential part of the brewing process. After bottling your beer needs to sit for at least of week to finish reacting with the yeast and create carbonation. The most used bottling is done with capped glass bottles, but there are other options. Each option has its own benefits. Understanding these benefits will help you choose the type of bottling that is best for you. Plastic Bottles Plastic bottling is fairly new. One benefit of plastic is that you can take it more places, for example the beach, and you never have to worry about the bottle breaking. Although in many ways they are just as effective as glass, they are more likely to let oxygen leak through the bottle. Over time, the...

There are few things in life that come as a bigger disappointment than a warm beer. We have all experienced this, at a party perhaps or a summer barbeque, and it happens time and time again! You turn up at a friend's house with your pack of beers, only to find that the fridge is full, and so is the freezer. The only beers that are cold are the ones you are not keen on, and instead you have to wait until you can find some space to chill your drinks before enjoying a swift, cool drink. This is where beer chillers can come in handy - and can ensure that when you host a party, you always have a drink chilled to the perfect temperature to hand. Beer chillers come in all shapes and sizes, some which are...

Benjamin Franklin once famously said that beer is proof that God exists, and he wants us to be happy. There is some doubt that he actually said this, and some people believe that, if he did make the statement, his tongue was lodged firmly in his cheek. But regardless of who said it or how they meant it, there is a certain truth in the statement. Beer is a strange and wonderful elixir, and it can be an intimidating one for those who have little to no experience with it. If you want to learn a little about beer, pull up a chair and grab a pint glass. We're going to talk beer. A lager is one of the most common beers in the world. These beers are usually lighter in color, milder in taste, and best when...

Beer in all its various forms has been around for centuries. Whether it's called beer, ale, stout, porter, amber or any other beer style, beer has a long and storied history. Traditionally, beer has been available in kegs, and not until the 20th century did bottling and canning come into prominence. Regardless of style, beer is brewed essentially the same. There are subtle differences of course, but all beer has a mix of ingredients mixed and fermented by brewing experts with the help of technology. Technology has revolutionized the beer industry, not so much through brewing techniques, but packaging and transportation methods. Bottling, Canning, and Kegs For hundreds of years, beer was...

Let's say that you have just finished putting the final pieces together and your home bar is ready to entertain. But, you don't want to just have people over. You want to do it in style. These ideas will work whether you are having a bar warming, or if it has been awhile since you have had friends over and you want to do something special for the occasion. Beer Tasting I have thrown some generic beer tastings together where my friends each brought what they thought was the best and everyone there gave each beer an honest try. It's fun. There's not too much work involved. But, there is a way better way of throwing a beer tasting. You can either make your own beer or invite someone who does make beer...

Let me start out by saying that nobody should host a bear tasting party unless all the participants are over age and there is a designated driver for each person. That way you are assured of nobody getting arrested for underage drinking or driving under the influence. Having said that, what exactly is a beer tasting party and how do they work? A beer tasting party is just that. You bring a number of people over to your place and have them sample a variety of beers. At the end of the evening the beers are ranked from best to worst. There are many variations you can do on this such as having friendly wagers on what beer you think will come in first. Of course gambling for money is illegal so the...

Do you like your beer? I know that I do. Ever since my college days, I've always been a big beer lover. Whether it's with a good meal or just for the sake of winding down after a hard day's work, I'm always up for a tasty brew. I've tried my share of many beers through the course of my life, and continue to actively try as many new beers as I can. Let me give you a few beers you may want to try if you're looking to expand your palette a little bit. Keep in mind that by no means do I endorse underage drinking, or binge drinking. This is simply for the sake of enjoying any nice beer in moderation. The first beer I'll recommend is Magic Hat. I'm not sure if you've ever had it before, but this is a beer...

The Health Benefits of Beer    Each year more and more studies are being done on the health benefits of beer. While red wine drinkers have been bragging for some time about the benefits of their choice of alcohol, it now seems that beer drinkers will finally get their turn in the spotlight. It is now proven that moderate alcohol consumption is good for heart health, no matter whether you drink beer or wine.   The good news is that moderately consuming alcohol is beneficial for your heart. Moderate drinkers lessen their risk of heart attacks and heart disease, compared to people who don’t drink at all or those who are heavy drinkers. For equal amounts of alcohol, beer has double the antioxidants...

Also known as a 'meal in a glass' or 'liquid bread' some people joke that Guinness is one of the major food groups in Ireland. But at only 198 calories per pint the joke is on them as it's actually lighter than most other beers with slightly less calories per 100ml than orange juice or semi-skimmed milk. Though we're not suggesting that you use it as part of a calorie-controlled diet - that's up to you. Local folklore has always held that the water used in Guinness comes from the River Liffey, which is just beside the brewery in Dublin city. We think we're all relieved to hear that the water used is actually exclusively sourced from Lady's well (supplied by natural spring water) in the Wicklow...

Would you be shocked to know that beer girls make more money than most college grads? There are some beer girls that make over $4000 per month and I should know because I write their checks. The beer girls that work for my company are making a minimum of $40 per hour which is more than most recent college graduates. The work they do is for part time and some girls are doing promotional work full time. A body painted beer girl could make up to $300 per hour if she gets a major beer logo painted on her chest. You can visit my site and see all the girls that are being sponsored by major beer companies. The girls love it, not just for the money but the insane attention they get. I did an event in Palm...
