The high temperatures these days make having a beer on a restaurant terrace or on the sofa at home even more appetizing. As long as we don't drink this drink excessively, it is a valid and refreshing option. But be careful with cooling the glass and the jug in the freezer: you should not do it.
What is the reason? Although it is common practice in some bars and taverns, at home it can be difficult to freeze these glasses without affecting the taste of the beer. This is because in the domestic freezer we keep fish and other foods that can leave their smell in the container. A refrigerator aroma can also be impregnated, like plastic.
But there is another way to serve beer in a cold glass. This consists of moistening the glasses, a resource widely used in bars, and that is not worth cleaning them, as many people believe. They are passed through cold water so that they are fresh and moist. This way, the drink is best served.
To enjoy our beer to the fullest, it is also key to serve it at the right temperature. Depending on the grades, some of the chemicals may suppress or enhance aroma or flavor. Although cold beer is preferred by many, a warm one has a more powerful flavor.
Each variety of beer has its ideal temperature. But in general, low proof beers should be served colder than strong beers.
Finally, you should avoid taking it directly from the bottle or can. If we do it like this, all the nuances of aromas and flavors are lost: the only thing that is achieved is that the beer does not even come into contact with the taste buds.
The use of the glass is very important. According to different scientific studies, the shape and design of each container influences the experience.
