summer coming, and also to be able to call friends, roll the days of beer and Kazakhstan. But there are many kinds of beer in the market. How can you choose your favorite beer with high quality? He Yong, executive secretary of the China Wine Association and Secretary General of the beer branch, brings health tips to your beer life in summer.
why is the Secretary General bold?
beer is a low alcohol brewing wine made from malt and hops and fermented by yeast. The main raw materials include barley, water, yeast and hops. Beer is rich in nutrition and is known as "liquid bread".
1972 July 1st, the Ninth World Conference on nutritious food was held in Mexico. Beer was officially listed as a nutritious food. This is because it has three important nutritional conditions: one is the amount of beer and a variety of amino acids, the two is that beer has a higher nutrient, and the three is that beer is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. The nutrients in beer are dissolved in beer.
according to relevant domestic and international reports, after 10 years of valuable health research, experts have found that regular and moderate beer intake, that is, 1 to 2 cups of 12 ounces (350 milliliters) a day, is beneficial to both men and women.
how to choose beer?
selection of beer, one is to look at the label. According to the national standard and relevant regulations, the brand name, registered trademark, net content (mL), alcohol degree (%Vol), ingredients table, raw wort concentration (P), production date, shelf life and warning language must be marked. If it is imported beer, it must also have Chinese labels, including the name of origin, the name and address of the distributor.
two is to see the shelf life. First, we must pay attention to its freshness and long storage time, which will affect the flavor and taste of beer. At present, the shelf life of domestic beer products in the market is 3 months, 6 months or 12 months.
three depends on the type of beer and alcohol content. According to the beer's precision, it can be generally divided into low, medium and high concentration beer.
in the low concentration beer, the concentration of the wort is 6-9 P, the alcohol content is lower than 3%Vol, the alcohol degree of the alcohol free beer is even lower than that of 0.5%Vol. The common main is the brand label "light type" and "refreshing" beer products; the medium concentration beer, the concentration of wort at 10-12 degrees, and alcohol 3.5%Vol around 3.5%Vol, often It is a "super type" beer; high concentration beer, the concentration of wort at 14-20 P, alcohol content 4.0-5.0%Vol, this beer has more solids and good stability, and is suitable for consumers who like strong taste.
you need to pay attention here. Don't confuse the original wort concentration (P) with the alcohol degree (%Vol) in the trademark. The meaning of the two is completely different.
one is to choose the right wine glass. The selection of beer cup, from the material, is the best glass, the capacity in 300-500mL is the most suitable; the cup body transparency is high, no bubble, cup wall thickness uniform, to observe the wine body, cup bottom to be thick, in order to delay the effect of table temperature on the body. The body of the cup has scratched ears to protect the body from warming. When you wash the cup, you must wash it naturally and dry it. Avoid using cloth or paper towel to wipe it.
two is the temperature of wine tasting. The appropriate temperature for drinking beer should be at 8-15 degrees centigrade. Although the lower temperature will make people feel cool, it will increase the bitterness of the beer and stimulate the stomach mucous membrane of the human body, especially when drinking beer on the empty stomach. The experiment proved that drinking beer at 10 C has the best taste and the best aroma components in wine.
three is the way to pour wine. How to pour beer is an easily overlooked problem. The correct way to pour beer should be to place the cup in front of the table, put the mouth of the bottle at 3 centimeters from the cup, and pour it gently into the cup in the middle of the cup. The speed is slow. In the course of the wine, the white and delicate beer foam can be appreciated, until the cup is higher than the cup. The foam hangs about 130-180 seconds, and the different breeds differ greatly.
four is to observe the color. For light colored beer, the body is usually golden or yellowish, clear, transparent and glossy. Dark beer is usually dark brown or black, but the body is transparent and gives a mellow and rich feel.
at the end of the taste taste. This is also an important part of the appreciation of beer. We can feel that the smell of wheat, fragrant flowers and wine in the beer blend together and fill the nasal cavity. Drink beer and drink as much as possible. Liquor in the mouth for 2-3 seconds, fully feel the taste of beer in the mouth sense of taste stimulation, because the different parts of the tongue on acid, sweet, bitter, spicy and other taste sensitivity is different.
it is worth mentioning that the most popular white beer in the present market is the most different from the ordinary beer in that the white beer has to complete the two fermentation process in the bottle, and the body contains active yeast. The oxygen content in the bottle is close to zero because of the active yeast, which greatly reduces the possibility of the beer oxidation. . White beer is cloudy with soft, harmonious and smooth taste, rich white foam, unique aroma and higher nutritional value.
beer is a kind of low precision product in many kinds of wine. It gives people the feeling of pure, refreshing and soft, and has special pleasing bitter taste, which is a rare sense of sensual enjoyment.
at the end of the week, you can choose a new beer to pick up drinking knowledge. You might as well get together with your friends and have a pleasant and healthy rest day. (author: Deputy Secretary General of China Liquor Association and He Yong, Secretary General of beer branch)
