Beer Lore - The Truth Uncovered

If you're like us, there is nothing quite like sitting down to a cold brew after a long day. Whether you pop open a can, screw the top off of a bottle, or come down to the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks and get it on tap, there are many ways to enjoy your favorite brew. There are many myths that surround this popular beverage, and while these myths may not affect the way you enjoy your drink, some of them may be surprising. Here are a few funny and interesting myths about beer and the truth that can set you free.



Myth:
Beer is meant to be served ice cold.

Truth:
The serving temperature of beer actually varies by style. Did you know that you can't taste beer if it's too cold? Pilsners and IPAs are usually served around 40-44º F, while heavier beers are enjoyed around 55ºF.

Myth:
Craft beers must be aged.

Truth:
While some beers (typically, ones with high alcohol content) should be aged, there are others, like hoppy beers, should be consumed as fresh as possible.

Myth:
When a cold beer gets warm, it's skunked.

Truth:
Temperature changes can affect your beer in some ways, but skunking it is not one of them. Skunked beer is actually caused when a beer is exposed to light, especially if it's a hoppy beer.

Myth:
Dark beer = Strong Beer

Truth:
The color of your beer actually has no correlation on the alcohol or even caloric content. Dark beer's grains are just roasted longer which causes the dark color.

Myth:
The best beers are served in glass bottles.

Truth:
Cans are actually the best way to package beers. They are protected from the light and oxygen better than you will find in bottled beer.

Myth:
All beer tastes the same.

Truth:
If you take the time to try many different beers, you will find that there is an incredible diversity between the flavors in a beer. The styles can range from bitter to sweet to sour. Beer can also vary between no alcohol content to being stronger than wine!

Myth:
Lagers and Pilsners are the same.

Truth:
Pilsners are actually just one of the many lager types. A Pilsner beer is golden and refreshing, while lagers can also be dark, malty, and very strong.
