]]>Guest Count
To figure out the approximate amount of alcohol you’ll need, start by counting the number of confirmed guests. For cocktails and beer, a general rule of thumb is one drink per guest per hour. Wine and spirits, however, tend to be consumed a bit more slowly, so for these, you can calculate around 1.5 to 2 drinks per person per hour.
Variety Matters
Beyond making sure you’ve got enough alcohol in general, it’s a good idea to offer a variety of drinks that will cater to everyone’s preferences. Include a mix of beer, wine, and spirits, and consider making a specialty cocktail for a seasonal touch. Tailor your choices based on what you know about your crowd–wine enthusiasts will likely appreciate more wine options, for example.
Keep It Personal
As important as it is to understand your guests’ preferences, even more important is to be aware of any specific dietary requirements and provide different options accordingly. Have non-alcoholic beverages like sparkling water and sodas on-hand, and consider making a seasonal mocktail if your menu and budget allow. Many types of alcohol also contain gluten, which is a common allergen, so you may want to make sure that some of your offerings are gluten-free.

If you enjoy using different kinds of marinade when cooking, then add some beer to the mix. What’s advantageous about beer is that it will keep food moist as it cooks.
Infuse With Food
If you’re looking at whipping up a tasty sauce for your food, then consider using beer. This alcoholic delight is sure to go great with sautéed chicken or pork as well as risotto with an earthy flavor. Beer-battered fish is another tasty option.

]]>More and more microbreweries, and even some big players in the beer world, are starting to make their own. So, which styles should you try? Here is a quick guide.
Lambic
Lambics are one of the most classic sour beer styles, originating in Belgium centuries ago. This beer style is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts, giving it a funky and sour taste that can be altered by the addition of fruits.
One of the best from Cantillon, and even better when aged. Damn, so tasty! Thanks for sharing @lambicislife #cantillon #irisGose
Are light beers more your thing? If so, the low-alcohol and utterly drinkable Gose style might be a great choice for you. This beer, which has recently surged in popularity, is sour and salty and goes great for a day full of yard work.

While sour beers are originally from Germany, American breweries have put their own twist on this style, most notably with the American Wild Ale style. This creation, similar to the Belgian lambic, introduces wild bacteria and yeasts from the American continent to create a whole new flavor profile.

]]>Looking for some perfect spring-centric beers for this season? Here are some of my top picks for beer styles that go great with the spring.
New England IPA
New England IPAs have been one of the most trending beers during the past couple of years. While normal IPAs are known for their hop bitterness, the New England variant of this style backs down on the hops and allows tropical fruit flavors to shine through.
@imprintbeer X @heavyreelbrewingco Heavily fruited and lactosed kettle sour with passionfruit, mango, and pink guava. Honestly, I’m not even sure this is beer
Tastes and feels almost exactly like Naked Juice, with the exception of a slight hint of booze and tartness. The combo of tropical fruits used in this is what makes it such a winner. Takes me back to summer, when the threat of a deadly viral infection wasn’t on my mind. 4.5/5
Gose
Gose beers were originally brewed in Germany in the 13th century, and have recently become popular throughout the world. Low in alcohol and featuring lemon sour notes, saltiness, and a touch of coriander, this is an extremely drinkable style that you’ll love for doing yard work and other outside chores.
. . This Gose did not surprise but delivered what it proposes. Citrus, lemon, lime, subtle salt, slightly sour, very refreshing and dry finish . . @averybrewingco #averybrewing #gose #sourale #limePilsner
Another beer style with German roots that goes great with the springtime is the famous pilsner. While many of us might believe that this beer carries negative connotations due to its mass-produced variants, the truth is that craft breweries make plenty of delicious varieties of this refreshing brew.
. . . Con un poco de la historia de la cerveza, desde 1842, la cervecería en Plzeň, el cervecero Josef Groll presentó al mundo la primera ‘Pilsner’ dorada que cambió el mundo de la cerveza, actualmente se sigue fabricando en la misma Cervecería mantiendo la elaboración tradicional con triple decocción y madurada en barricas de madera, el malteado propio y empleando lúpulos Saaz, una cerveza dorada, equilibrada y muy bebible.

NEW SOUR BEER ALERT!
OUT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN YOUR MARKET! – – 4pks are currently for sale here in our Taproom! Stop on by and grab some grub while you’re at it! – – 
credit @oldtimebeerOne of the hottest trends in craft beer recently has been sour beers, and specifically, the introduction of fruited sours into the world of artisan suds.
Sour beers have a tart and/or acidic taste which is rare in the world of beer. While they may sound strange at first, this unique twist on beer is one of the most delicious creations that anyone in the craft beer industry has come up with.
When you add fruit flavors to the mix, the result is a crisp and refreshing beer that is truly second to none.
Brewers these days are beginning to take a sour beer base, which is made by using wild yeast strains or bacteria to give the beer a tart flavor and adding fruit pulp or juice to turn it into a fruited sour. This works especially well with fruits that have a bit of tartness such as blueberries and cherries.
Have you tried a fruited sour beer yet? What did you think?

]]>Here are four unique beer glasses that you should get to know and love!
Tulip Glass
Tulip glasses have a wide, bulbous shape that tapers towards the top before flaring out at the rim. They are especially popular for Belgian Trappist varieties as well as strongly aromatic beers like imperial IPAs.
So that worked and I had so much fun putting together “Saisons of Love” about @boulevard_beer’s Tank 7 — and I learned a ton about saisons, too. Link in bio.
Stange Glass
Ever wondered what those tall and skinny beer glasses are called? Well, the name is a Stange glass, and they are best used for light German styles such as Kolsch and pilsners.
IPA Glass
One of the world’s most popular beer styles has its own glass. The aromatic, hoppy, and bitter IPA style is best enjoyed in its namesake glass, which helps with aeration and head retention.
: Huge citrus, Pineapple and Guava • Taste
: Sweet yet Bitter citrus, Orange and Some Tropical Pineapple • Mouthfeel/DrinkabilityGoblet Glass
Ever wanted to feel like a medieval king while drinking a beer? Try using a goblet glass, which is especially perfect when paired with heavy, high-alcohol beers like heavy Belgian ales and German doppelbocks that are best enjoyed sipped.

]]>This futuristic concept has already become a reality thanks to Civic Pay, a cryptocurrency company that debuted its beer vending machines at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, United States earlier this year.
Attendees at the festival were able to walk up to the machines and pay with the company’s cryptocurrency, easily purchased via a credit card on its app, in order to acquire a beer without having to use physical money or talk to a stand attendant.
You might be wondering how the vending machine was able to know that beer purchasers were of legal drinking age, which has always been one roadblock to the widespread implementation of alcohol vending machines. Well, by verifying their identities on the app, users were able to prove that they were old enough to buy beer.

Lalor got to the hotel bar for a nightcap and ordered a single beer, a bottle of an English IPA. After he was done with it, he asked for a check, only to see that he was charged $99,983.64 for that very beer! And on top of that, there was a $2,499.59 transaction fee!
Not yet knowing if he should be annoyed or amused, Lalor took to Twitter to share what happened with the world. “See this beer? That is the most expensive beer in history. I paid $99,983.64 for it in the Malmaison Hotel, Manchester the other night. Seriously,” the man wrote.
He continued the story in the comments below his tweet and you can read it below.

]]>Cantillon Brewery is a small, family-owned brewery that produces relatively small quantities of beer per year. So, why is it so well known?
Cantillon’s brewers are the masters of the lambic beer style, which is the only type of beer that they produce at the brewery.
Lambics began to be brewed in the late 18th century in the Pajottenland region of Belgium, just to the southwest of Brussels. It’s a unique type of beer that relies on spontaneous fermentation in order to produce the beverage.
This means that once the liquid is ready to be brewed, it is left in an open container, in which bacteria and other endemic microorganisms enter, causing spontaneous fermentation to happen.
Many people describe these beers as tasting wild, fruity, sour, and/or tart.
The folks at Cantillon have mastered the process of using this process in order to create lambics. They produce around 400,000 bottles of the stuff per year, making it a product in high demand.
Cantillon makes several varieties of lambic beers, ranging from kriek lambics, which incoporated mashed fruits into the brewing process, to lambics which have been aged in oak barrels for up to three years.
Have you tried one of Cantillon’s lambics? Let us know what you think about them!
