I just had a read through the following link and started to think about it.
http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...=6430&hl=styles
I'd like to know more about the history of beer styles. Also traditional brewing methods of these styles and how they differ from today.
I can only seem to find rough descriptions, gravities, IBU's, colours and alcohol %.
I guess different grains, yeasts and hopps were local to particular regions and the styles developed from there.
So far I have figured Lagers were stored in ice houses... lager is a word for store.
Pilsner comes from a town of a simular name, famous water type and local saaz hopps.
Strong Ales from long voyages at sea, lots of hopps used as preservatives.
So if anyone can point me in the direction to find more history in beer, or throw in any comments to what you know... I'd like it!
Cheers,
Jarrad
