Mark Dredge - Beer: When beer goes bad: Acetaldehyde

http://www.pencilandspoon.com/2011/07/when-beer-goes-bad-acetaldehyde.html

Best Beer in the World. Friday, 1 July 2011. When beer goes bad: Acetaldehyde. Smells and tastes like fresh green apples in beer. Open a bottle of Budweiser to taste it as Bud contains a little acetaldehyde which adds a fresh, crisp flavour. If it’s present in stronger beers or in higher volumes then it might smell like bruised old apples, solvent or paint. Is acetaldehyde something you’ve noticed in beers before? Ever had one like solvent or cider? Posted by Mark Dredge. 1 July 2011 at 17:19. Unibroues ...

Mark Dredge - Beer: Hopped Gin

http://www.pencilandspoon.com/2012/03/hopped-gin.html

Best Beer in the World. Tuesday, 27 March 2012. What would happen if I added Cascade hops, which give a great burst of floral and citrus to beer, to a bottle of gin? I couldn’t resist finding out as soon as that thought has buried itself into my brain. I made a G&T and added a slice of grapefruit to enhance the hop flavour, though it didn’t need it – the Cascade shone through the middle adding an extra bitterness and more wonderful aromatics to the drink. Imagine a wit made with juniper, citrus peel, liq...

Best Beer in the World. Tuesday, 23 December 2014. My Beers of 2014. In 2014 I’ve drunk beer in 17 different countries across five continents, visiting 136 breweries along the way.

Mark Dredge - Beer: The best beer in the cupboard

http://www.pencilandspoon.com/2012/01/best-beer-in-cupboard.html

Best Beer in the World. Thursday, 26 January 2012. The best beer in the cupboard. It was waiting for a special moment. A life moment. A time when I wanted to celebrate. I’d already passed a few chances up and didn’t know when the next one was coming. Could I wait another year? Will the beer wait for me before succumbing to the horrors of oxygen? Taking it from the box - disturbing its long, cold sleep - was exciting. I was going to open Zephyr. Should I have done this a year ago? Did it peak fresh? And f...

Best Beer in the World. Best Beer in the World. The Best Beer in the World. Is my third book. It's a mix of first-person travelogue, reference book and travel guide to the greatest beers in the world. The book is inspired by how often I was asked the question: "What's the best beer in the world? Or "What's your favourite beer? Or "What's the best beer you've ever tasted? I didn't know how to respond to any of those questions, so I travelled the world in search of the answers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mark Dredge - Beer: A New Beer Flavour Wheel

http://www.pencilandspoon.com/2013/01/a-new-beer-flavour-wheel.html

Best Beer in the World. Wednesday, 9 January 2013. A New Beer Flavour Wheel. I like the established beer flavour wheel. Which was introduced in the 1970s. By brewing chemist Dr. So while I like that wheel, it’s not the most consumer-friendly. Doing some research I found wheels for coffee, chocolate ( both from here. Which is aroma-specific) and whisky. When I was working on Craft Beer World. It was just an itch-scratching experiment to begin and I started throwing down words and drawing big circles with ...
