Beer education

Four ingredients. A lot of opinions.

Beer gets easier to talk about when you know what changed it. Start with the ingredients, then trust your own glass.

Water
The canvas. Its minerals can sharpen, soften, or redirect a beer.
Malt
The grain bill brings color, body, toast, sweetness, and depth.
Hops
Bitterness matters, but so do aroma, fruit, resin, spice, and structure.
Yeast
The quiet worker that can shape fruit, spice, dryness, and finish.
