Wednesday Beer Tasting: Yay for Yeast!

  • Market Street Wine 311 East Market Street Charlottesville, VA USA (map)

Five Reasons to Do a Tasting Dedicated to Yeast!

  1. We spend a lot of time talking about hops (time not wasted, we would say), but those little yeastie beasties are so much more responsible for the taste of your beer.

  2. 'Cause, for instance, one way you get Saison beer is by using the right kind of ale yeast.

  3. 'Cause it's not just type of yeast by treatment of yeast. So we should try a beer that benefits from bottle conditioning.

  4. 'Cause this gives us an opportunity to tell one of our favorite yeast stories.

  5. 'Cause these yeast fermented barley and hop solutions are good!
