Today we have gone to a brewery where some local beers are made every day, that is located near Armitage station on brown line. You can go there and watch the brewing process and enjoy a wide variety of beers that have been produced on-site.
A worker of the pub, has explained to us the basic ingredients of beer, which are water; a starch source, such as malted barley, which is able to be fermented (converted into alcohol); a brewer's yeast to produce the fermentation; and a flavouring such as hops. A secondary starch source may be used, such as maize (corn), rice or sugar. He has moved on to explain the brewing process, which include malting, milling, mashing, boiling, and fermenting.
After that, we have gone downstairs and they have given us four types of beer to taste:
The fist of the four was 312. It's an American Style Wheat Ale, 4.2% with a hazy straw color, light orange hop aroma, fruity ale flavor, and creamy body.
The second one was Green Line, which is an American Style Pale Ale, 5% with a honey color, bright american hop aroma, citrus flavor, light crisp body.
The third, Honker's Ale is an English Style Bitter, 4.3% with a golden sunset color, fruity hop aroma, biscuity malt flavor, soft body.
And the last one, the India Pale Ale, or IPA is an English Style India Pale Ale, 5.9% with a honey color, grapefruit aroma, fruity hop flavor, dry body.
My favourite of all is the second one, the Green Line because its taste, but specially because of the flavour that was great.
In Madrid we have some places similar to this, when you can have fresh beer, so it wasn't new for me, but we had fun and enjoy with the classmates and teachers.
