Here is a great look into where our beer comes from and how the Three Tier System...

We’re near the end of the road here with Chris and Cole. The bottling day! Bottling is one of the more important steps in the home brewing process. It’s the last stage before drinking the beer and it’s very important to get the priming sugars correct and really pay close attention to the sanitation of all the bottling equipment. One false step here and the whole batch could be lost due to...

In-depth Look: Environmentally Friendly Brewing
We here at Beer Table / Pantry are curious about all aspects of beer and brewing. At a recent staff tasting, the topic of environmentally friendly and sustainable brewing was brought up for discussion. None of us was too familiar with what breweries were really striving to become more eco-conscious, so we put our very own Alaskan, Hannah W., on the case:
As someone who is interested in good beer...

WHAT IS A MILK STOUT?
A milk stout “is a particular type of dark ale brewed with an addition of lactose”. Brewers yeast (s. cerevisiae or s. pastorianus) has been conditioned over centuries to breakdown and convert maltose, a disaccharide found in grain as a result of the breakdown of starch by beta amylase, into energy. The biproducts of this reaction are what we are most concerned with in the beer world -...

These are church keys:

However, there are several stories that all probably have some nugget of truth to them. - In medieval Europe, most brewers would have been monks. Many of their beers would have been cellared and to prevent any pilfering, locked in said cellar. Some think that the early church key...
