Really glad hops and craft are in. When i was growing up through college and university every bar in the uk seemed to just have carsberg, carling, amstel, fosters, heineken, bud (and maybe guiness if you were lucky). Basically everything tasted roughly the same and fairly dull. It was very refreshing when ipa's and hops came onto the scene.
As we get into making videos about beer while interviewing musicians, your knowledge and information will be really helpful. Thanks for all you guys are doing.
How about coming to some of the hop yards of Worcestershire/Herefordshire and seeing the oast houses. You can also eat the hop shoots, they are blinking delicious.
+ddrab14 hey! Yep lots! We're sorting out both malt and yeast at the moment, starting filming in March so out April. Also got one of glassware, drinking fresh and ageing beer at home in the pipeline!
Nice explanation so if you leave out the hops and just add different non-bitter spices is this how you make sweet tasting beers ? Because it seems as the hops defines either aroma/flavor and most importantly bitterness level of beer
Great video. Strange question but do you happen to know if there are any hops varieties that are grown for better edible shoots in the spring than regular varieties? Thanks!
Great idea for a series. Stoked for more. My question about this one: Are hops a special sort of flower to contain the alpha acids? I understand that a lot of brewing is based on tradition and "what works" as a process developed and refined over thousands of years, but I find it exceedingly unlikely that there would be no other flowers that contain the alpha acids, or something similar. I'd be curious about a brewery using another type of bud as a preservative, aromatic, and bittering, if it was possible.
Holy crap that's a good question. We've never heard of beers being specifically bittered with any other plants but I'm sure it's been tried. As for whether other plants can have alpha acids I'm sure they can, but probably not in levels high enough to have a similar effect. We'll do some research and see what we can find! Cheers.
Time and again brewerys do beers entirely without hops, as that is found in some of the prehistoric beer styles from around the globe. Plus some of the new breweries just want to be different. When this is done all manner of herbs and woods and such are used to achieve both the bittering and the flavor. Brewdog did a collaboration with Flying Dog by the name of International Arms Race, which was brewed without hops. Nogne O I am pretty sure did one too. Dogfish Head did multiple ones as far as I recall, especially in their anchient ale series. And at least the african honey beer part of their B*tches Brew was also bittered without hops IIRC. I do not know if alpha acids are in effect here or if it is down to other stuff though, which is quite possible. In hops too there are other compounds that influence the way the bittering feels. You might now how sometimes the bitterness is harsh and sometimes smooth and such, which is not just down to the amount of IBUs. That is also what makes Polaris my favorite bittering hop for my brews, as it is very smooth and pleasing in the bitterness it produces, and that at around 20% (!!!) alpha. Also freaking complex and awesome in taste. Thing is that the ones I had were definetly interesting experiences as the bitternes felt different and the spice aromas were interesting as well, but you can also see why hops are so popular and widely used. Most of the non hop beers are in the "Glad I tried it, but I don´t need a second" category. If you want to try some look for beers in the herbal beer category, maybe you´ll find one. Cheers!
Ole P. Hey Ole - got any examples? Obviously saisons are flavoured with all kinds of things but we'd love to hear about any used for bittering. Thanks for all the info!
The Craft Beer Channel Hej gents - my memory does betray me a bit I must admit, however: There is the Brewdog / Flying Dog - International Arms Race. 0 IBU. Maybe Sarah (Warman) can somehow organize a bottle for you. Then there is Sahti, the traditional Finnish brew. When done in the old school way it is bittered with juniper berries and herbs. Problem is that it therefore does not keep fresh that long and needs to be stored cool. Getting a traditional one outside Finnland is therefore hard and you basecally need to see if you can find a rare instance where another brewery dares to make it in the traditional way. The entire Gruit beer style is also hop free, so if that comes across you, might wanne have a try. Closer to you is Fraoch Heather Ale by Williams Bros. As far as I can tell that is also hop free. Dogfish Head, as mentioned before, does the anchient ale series which use just enough hops to not be illegal. Those are however extremly hard to get in Europe. Though a Kvasir, Ta Henket, or Bierra Etrusca could be interesting. The Bierra Etrusca actually exists in two European versions. Baladin fermented on wood and Birra Del Borgo on terra cotta, so those might be easier to grab (though I have not found them). That is all I got for the moment I am afraid. Meanwhile I sit here in Malmö, Sweden and wait for you guys to come by here or to Copenhagen sometime...maybe CBC....;) Cheers!
And yes i get you can add any additional coffee or spices to make or change the aroma/flavors but the bitterness seems to be mostly determined by how much hops of what aged/type of hops i.e its all about the hops = bitterness levels in beers. I am also curious about if there are different yeast and if so the affect on using different ones of the other seem to me yeast is usually just yeast in anything wine , beer ,alcohol making, most breads, ....
Yep hops add bitterness, and some other plants can too, such as coffee beans. Yeast is a huge variable in beer like other alcohols but that is a whole other video we need to make!
Existe alguma cerveja com pouco lupulo? experimentei remedio de lupulo e chá de lupulo e não gosto do efeito. Essas com trigo tem pouco lupulo neh? have a hops allergy. Its very bad for me... I get sleepy and have diarhea. Does some hops free beer exists? or at least one with low hops?
The Craft Beer Channel my friend's thought they was gross. I kept eatting them like it was nothing. Then again i was that odd ball would eat anything. Even if it was a poisonous spider even had my mouth close shut for a while cause of it where. I could not be able to talk but when i can go back to it I had people drop mouth like my teacher did at open house. After all when I could not talk cause eatting a poisonous spider. My teacher would say I don't have nothing to say good for that. Well when my mouth healed from it at open house I told my teacher to suck it and bend over and take it like a good great ho she is.
Ever wondered what hops are, or where they come from, or what they do in a beer? Well wonder no more! Jonny tells you all from a Saaz hop farm in the Czech Republic. This is the first in our new mini series Beer School - teaching you the ins and outs of beer. If there's something you want to know, drop us a comment! BIG PROPS to Pilsner Urquell for taking us out there and to Mike of GoodBeerHunting.com for the amazing shot of the hops falling.
Sadly not - all beers (except those labelled Gruit, but these are so rare they are hardly worth mentioning) will include hops as they preserve the beer from infection. If you want to know styles with very low hop levels, Hefeweizen, Helles, Mild, might be your best bet
I don't understand how HOPS give different flavors like pine and grapefruit when they come from a flower. I'm kind of confused. This video was interesting.
Great question. Hops are full of aromatic oils - the exact same aromatic oils in the those plants, fruits and spices we tend to compare them to. Different processes in brewing can extract these oils and even modify them to create new compounds that smell of other things!
To me, hops taste like Lychee seeds. I don't really like beer that much anymore, I prefer wine and spirits. However, I am starting to become a fan of artisan style beers with lots of hops in them. Hops may be pretty bitter, but they have sweet, flowery undertones which pairs really well with fruit flavors. I personally never was good at distinguishing between different beer brands... back when I drank Pilsner they would all taste the same to me though others would swear they can tell the difference. Now that I prefer IPA's, they also all taste alike unless they have some specific fruit juice mixed into them. Personally, I like pineapple flavored ones. The one I'm drinking right now also has some kind of sour fruity aftertaste... Boneshaker India Pale Ale. Interesting, because it's a high percentage of alcohol (7.2%) and it has a malt liquor base, both of which are usually indicators that the beer will taste like shit. I guess the citrus and pine flavors, and of course the hops, came thru really strong in this blend and drowned out the unpleasantness of the malt.
Great to hear that New England style IPAs have got you into beer but worth remembering that ALL beers are malt based - that is what makes them beer and that you can achieve those juice flavours without needing actual juice. That is the joy of modern hops, yeasts and indeed malts...
@@TheCraftBeerChannel I guess I was thinking of the 'Malt liquor' type of beers when I said that. I always prefer lighter beers than the really dark ones or stuff like Old English 40's. I haven't had it in a while but I remember them being sweet in an unpleasant way.
+BoscoVapes it's not just you. Lots of people can't - but it's an acquired taste because we have a low tolerance to bitterness that we have to train over time. It's worth having a go though!
It's not necessarily an aquired taste! I absolutely loved the first hop heavy IPA I ever had, it really got me into giving other kinds of beers another shot!
why do they try to say hemp is related to hops? i see much more similarities in hemp to the banana. in fact, Manilla hemp produces a seeded banana fruit, and the male cannibus hemp produces a banana shaped pollen sack that many growers call "bananas". doesnt it seem like hops is mor closely related to the grape, based on the leaf structure and the fact that it is a vine?
Sorry, but this is a very biased-towards-hops video. It should be noted that many beer styles CALL for low alpha acid hops. Many German lagers traditionally have IBUs of 5-20. Going over 20 for many of them is considered off-style, and is seen as a flaw. Americans and the British tend to have more bitter beers NOT because they're "more concerned with the craft and flavor of beer", but because their hops tend to be more bitter. I cannot tell you how many American homebrewers I've met who absolutely cannot brew a Doppelbock (Or to be fair to those lacking lagering technology, a Kolsch). I'm fine with getting flavor from hops, but it seems that the days, craft beer drinkers are going with the whole "Your beer is shit if we can't taste the hops" attitude... and the fact is, there are wonderful beer styles that call for little to no hop character and have existed for hundreds of years... which Americans are making EVEN HARDER TO FIND... because they're always doing a "Marzen, but with a hoppy twist". I'm cool with hops, but I very much dislike how the craft beer industry (and how the homebrew crowd) have been treating them. We need some styles of beer that emphasize malt and some that emphasize yeast. If a brewer can't make at least one beer which emphasizes each of these, I do not consider them to be even a halfway competent brewer.
Eh?! We're in a saaz field in the Czech Republic! It's the best low-alpha hop in the world! I couldn't agree more with your final statement though, and brewers are starting to revert back to yeast and malt based styles. In the UK it's not as extremely hoppy as the US as our hops are also very low alpha (the highest being cascade). Lagers, saisons and sours are getting very trendy over here now. I promise, when we do our yeast and malt episodes you'll see we appreciate all styles, all ingredients and all hops. Cheers for commenting.
The Craft Beer Channel It was only really yhe line saying something to the effect of "Macros go all the way down to 9 or so IBUs because they're trying to reduce flavor so that it can be consumed quickly, so that nobody realises you're drinking", without any mention of belgian low ibu beers or german low ibu lagers (Such as a Doppelbock, which generally has that same super low IBU). I'm glad to hear that you'll be doing a yeast and malt video. And I don't want you to think that I disliked the video. I still find it useful for teaching my fiancee about beer.
Marcownz747 Glad it's proving useful. We love weiss beers and doppelbocks and such - those beers are rammed with flavours while at low IBUs. We were merely saying low IBU American lagers are brewed to slip down without you noticing. You always feel a doppelbock, especially after 2 or 3!
The Craft Beer Channel I don't know about you, but I definitely notice that distinct rice adjunct "flavour". Hops would go a long way toward masking that.
He actually stated that a lot of beers are made from low alpha acid hops. I wouldn't call it biased. I'd call it a video that covered all aspects of hops acidity levels. Cheers🍻
Didnt mean it to come across like that - there are lots of amazing british bitters and both of us on the channel were raised on them! But like macro lager the majority of them are exceptionally dull and occasionally poorly made

Nice explanation so if you leave out the hops and just add different non-bitter spices is this how you make sweet tasting beers ? Because it seems as the hops defines either aroma/flavor and most importantly bitterness level of beer
Exactly. It wouldn't be sweet necessarily as the sugar would still mostly ferment out, but it would be sweeter and less balanced.
OMG that massive shrine painting is so bad. Look at me in a wife beater. Hahahah
Great video. Strange question but do you happen to know if there are any hops varieties that are grown for better edible shoots in the spring than regular varieties? Thanks!
Hmmm.... not that i have heard of. Only Kent and Belgian breweries seem to eat the shoots at all!
Glad I am not the only one that likes the shoots.
I hopped on here to see some hops

You're very welcome.
