LAGERS
Lager is brewed with bottom fermenting yeast at cooler temperatures for a smooth
flavour. Pale golden colour, carbonated and lightly hopped, lager is a crowd-pleaser that tastes crisp and refreshing.
Best
suited to lighter-tasting foods; grilled chicken, seafood or spicy Thai.
ALES Brewed with top fermenting yeast at cellar temperature, ales are fuller-bodied, with nuances
of fruit or spice and a pleasantly hoppy finish.
Ales are often darker than lagers, ranging from rich gold to reddish
amber. Serve with stronger-flavoured foods; red meat, sausage, fish & chips.
DRY BEERS
Dry beer finishes crisp and clean, since more of the natural sugars are turned into alcohol
during brewing.
This process results in a medium-golden beer that tastes less bitter, and leaves little aftertaste.
Try dry beer with pasta or light meals.
LIGHT BEERS Extremely light in colour and body, and mild in flavour. Light beers are highly carbonated
with low bitterness and no aftertaste.
Light beers have fewer calories and/or lower alcohol content.
Light
beers compliment spicy Mexican or Italian foods, and combine nicely with appetizers.
DRAUGHT Light or dark, in any style, draught beer is simply any beer served from a keg or cask.
Fresh
tasting and easy to drink, draught beer in bottles or kegs has slightly lower carbonation levels so is less filling than other
bottles or cans.
A natural with pub food & all types of snacks.
MALT BEERS
Higher in alcohol (5.5% to 8.0%), malt beers boast a rich, full flavour -- heavier and
sweeter than other beers.
Their colour ranges from deep gold to amber to firelight red. Serve after dinner to compliment
any cuisine, or as a winter warm-up.
ICE BEERS Ice beer owes its concentrated flavour and smooth finish to its unique brewing process.
The beer is cooled until ice crystals form, then filtered, resulting in a higher alcohol content.
Serve ice beers
well chilled, with seafood or poultry dishes.
STOUT BEERS Deep, dark and flavourful, stout earns its character from brewing with highly roasted
malts. Stout features intense malt and caramel flavours, and depending on the variety, ranges from sweet to dry and distinctively
bitter. Serve as a unique compliment to shellfish, hearty stews and wild game
