Coffee is sweet and bitter, exciting
Beer is bitter but sweet, which can relieve your sorrow
These two seemingly unrelated drinks
In fact, it has already quietly collided and produced different sparks.
What is Coffee Beer?
Coffee beer, as the name suggests, is beer mixed with coffee. The creators combine them in different ways according to their characteristics. It is rich in coffee factors and the nutrients of beer, and has the effects of refreshing, anti-fatigue, weight loss and beauty.
Let’s first talk about its historical origins
At first some said it originated from home brewing
There is also another party that says it originated from the New Glarus Brewery in Wisconsin.
But no matter where it comes from
Brother Yan cannot deny that
The creation of coffee wine comes from
The enthusiasm of real beer lovers for beer products
So how did the two spark off?
What you may not have thought of is
The most successful coffee beer was born out of an accident
AleSmith
Tried brewing dark beer using coffee beans from a roasting company
They put the coffee beans into bourbon barrels and then added stout
Stout, coffee and bourbon are surprisingly
These three flavors blend together very well.
A cup of fragrant coffee beer was born
What caused this accident?
In fact, green coffee beans easily absorb odors, which is originally a disadvantage
But they took advantage of this cleverly.
The coffee beans are first aged in bourbon barrels for several months.
The coffee beans absorb the taste of the wine barrel, changing the original flavor
Then pour the coffee beans that have been attached with the taste of the barrel into the beer
This idea sounds incredible.
But for those who really love beer
The road to innovating different flavors of beer is always on the way
So far
A gentleman obsessed with coffee
and the drunkard who is intoxicated by brewing
No more fighting over which is better, coffee or beer
So how does a delicious cup of coffee beer come about?
Do you think it is similar to the making method of Yuanyang milk tea?
Just add the coffee ingredients directly into the beer
In fact, brewed coffee will have a bitter and sour taste.
Floating fat ingredients, etc.
Very undesirable for beer
If you can't cook it with heat, then let's change our thinking.
Can you use cold soaking?
Soak the coffee beans in cold water for a long time
This extracts the flavor without introducing sourness
Finally add it to the beer, accounting for 4-8% of the total volume
A cup of fragrant coffee beer was born! !
So Brother Yan, where can I find ready-made coffee beer?
Below, brothers, please accept my gift (knee)

1 | Scottish Malt Brew Black Hawk Coffee Stout
This is a full-bodied dark beer with Indonesian espresso added before canning, which retains the strong and rich chocolate flavor.
2｜Trystero Coffee
Highland Park Brewery Wake Up
Some heavy-flavored coffee beers have such a strong taste that drinking a small amount can make you feel uncomfortable. This beer takes this into consideration, so its taste is more refreshing and worth savoring again and again.
3 | KOPPI Coffee (Coffee IPA)
This coffee beer can be regarded as the best product of the fusion of Nordic coffee and beer in recent years. It uses hops to correspond to native coffee beans (honey processed) and launched Coffee IPA.
This coffee beer is not cheap
So if 200 yuan = a bottle of coffee wine
Then 200/8=25 cans of Brothers beer, 200/25=8 cups of Starbucks...
Word's God, this is how it works.
Why not do it yourself?
Let's get moving, brothers.
Is it cold or hot, 30/70 or 50/50?
The different styles of taste are up to you! ! !
Maybe the next creative master will be you, brother!
