Light Beer versus Dark Beer

Thesis StatementThere are several(prenominal) differences between slatternly beer (which involve the following American Standard Beers, American Light Beers, American Wheat Ales, Belgian Wheat Ales, Hefeweizen, and Pilsners) and mordant beer (which include Brown Ales, German Bocks, Nut Brown Ales, Porters, and Stouts). Some of the differences include their origins, the processes convoluted in fashioning or producing it, as well as, their popularity since light beer is utmost to a greater extent popular than dark beer.OriginBoth light and dark beer came to exist in 1772 (Chronology.. n.p.). The production of both began in 1587 when the immigrants of Virginia brewed ale through the use of corn (Chronology.. n.p.). consequently twenty years after that, England sent its initial shipment of beer to the immigrants of Virginia (Chronology.. n.p.). twain years after that, London were already looking for brewers to assist those immigrants of Virginia rearward then advertisements whi ch states, American Help Wanted were posted (Chronology.. n.p.). After that, the first brewery has been instituted in Manhattan by Adrian Block and Hans Christiansen (Chronology.. n.p.).The institution of that brewery aforementioned caused the birth of blue jean Vigne who was the first non-native American to become the first brewer horn in Manhattan (Chronology.. n.p.). In addition to that, after a few years, Governor forefront Twiller along with the West India Company built another brewery in unfermented Amsterdam on Brewers Street (Chronology.. n.p.). This has been followed by another brewery which was built on Manhattan Island by Peter Ninuit (Chronology.. n.p.). After so many breweries lose been instituted, a pass to open a pub in Boston has been awarded to a man named Samuel Cole (Chronology.. n.p.).Three years later, the first authoritatively recorded brewery in the Massachusetts Bay Colony under the control of Captain Sedgwick has been instituted (Chronology.. n.p.). whe nce another brewery has been built located in Providence, Rhode Island which has been assigned and to be guide by Sergeant Bauleton (Chronology.. n.p.). Immediately following that, Samuel Wentworth has been given a license to operate and brew beer in New Hampshire in 1670 (Chronology.. n.p.). Two more breweries were set up one in 1683 which was set up good Bristol, Pennsylvania and another one in 1738 which has been established in Jekyll Island, tabun (Chronology.. n.p.). Then finally after 34 years, dark and light beer have been concocted in England (Chronology.. n.p.).Process of Making ItIn making light beer, the first stage is to draw the grain in water system until it sprouts or germinates (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.). After that stage technically referred to as malting, the grain/malt is then heated and alter in order to stop the malt from germinating further (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.) After that process cognise as kilning, the malt may be roasted further consort to preferre d color and flavor (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.). The next step is to process the dried malt in a mill in order for the outside coating of the grain to crack (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.).After cracking it will placed in a container then it will be poured with hot water (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.). Here, the sugars contained in the grain will be broken down and released in the water and will consequently produce a sweet liquid called wort as well (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.). After that the wort will be boiled for two hours and record hop will be added (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.).In making dark beer, the same processed is followed only that hops in dark beer are boiled 30 minutes or more longer (SF Brewers Guild.. n.p.).PopularityIt is said that college students are more seeming to drink light beers. This is simply because it is easier to drink than dark ones. However, a aesculapian breakthrough affected such popularity of light beer because dark beer has been turn up to balk blood clots ( Peck n.p.). In addition to that, it has powerful antioxidant effects (Fauber n.p.).ConclusionBoth light and dark beers were produced in 1772 sharing the same history. They differ, however in the process of making it since dark beers involve more time in boiling hops than in light beers. Also, in terms of popularity, although dark beers are proven to be good for the health, more people still go for light beers especially college students.ReferencesChronology of the American Brewing Industry. n.d. n.a. 22 October 2007http//www.beerhistory.com/library/holdings/chronology.shtmlFauber, John.
