Frequently Asked Questions
01What makes red beers different from other beer options?
In addition to their reddish appearance, red beers stand out for the characteristic caramel elements in their taste.
02Where does the red color in these beers come from?
During one of the malting stages, green malt (ie. the newly germinated cereal grains) is dried. If this "baking" is carried out to a slightly greater extent, then the finished malt acquires a brown color. This color is responsible for the reddish color of the beer, which occurs later.
03Which red beer options do you have for someone who has never tried it before?
The Irish McFarland and the domestic Νήσος Apocalypse are considered suitable for a beginner.
04 How are the taste and the aroma of red beer described?
Hop aromas are relatively mild, as part of the nose is overwhelmed by bread and caramel elements. The sense of caramel is also strong in the taste. Other notes on the palate include sweet spices, coffee and forest fruits.
05Is there any difference in red beers, depending on the region of their production?
The types and varieties of cereals grown vary from country to country. The yeast strains used from country to country also differ. This is reflected in the final brewing product. For example, British Isles red beers are less crisp than Greek ones but excel in body and are richer in coffee and chocolate notes.
06What is the ideal occasion to enjoy red beer?
Red beer is an all-season delight. Its thickness matches winter and its thinness matches summer.
07Are there specific red beers recommended for food pairings?
Chicken with red sauce, bbq, pizza, burgers and dishes with mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes are an ideal accompaniment to red beer. Of course, like any other beer, red goes well with a variety of dried nuts.
08How do I properly store red beers to preserve their flavor?
The fridge is a favorite place for red beer. Bottles or cans that do not fit in it should be stored in a cool place, without moisture.
09 Any suggestions on how to best serve red beers?
The serving temperature range of red beer is between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius. Suitable glasses for red beer are usually narrower in the lower half and wider in the upper half.
