Beer is brewed by using malt and barley malt as main raw materials, adding hops, liquid gelatinization and saccharification, and then liquid fermentation. Beer has a low alcohol content, contains carbon dioxide, and contains a variety of amino acids, vitamins, low-molecular-weight sugars, inorganic salts and various enzymes, which are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. Low-molecular-weight sugars and amino acids in beer are easily digested and absorbed, which can generate a lot of heat energy in the body, so people often call beer "liquid bread".
The first time I learned about beer was when I was young more than 30 years ago. Every Spring Festival, the village brigade would give each villager a bundle of Luoyang Palace beer or Jiudu small champagne (small champagne is a kind of drink, which is very delicious), all in bottles of 10. Few villagers wanted beer, and basically every family wanted Jiudu brand small champagne. There are five people in our family, that is, five bundles and 50 bottles. It will take more than two bundles to entertain guests in the New Year, and there are more than two bundles, which are mine. I have to drink one bottle every day or two.
Later, in 1996, I went to my uncle's house for the Spring Festival. Originally, I always drank small champagne, but all the people who ate with me at the same table that day were uncles, brothers and younger brothers, that is, all men, basically elders. It was my first time to drink beer that day, and I only had one glass of tempered glass. I felt really bad, and the taste was bitter and slightly sweet.
After I joined the work in 2000, I began to drink beer slowly with my colleagues and friends. At that time, three people often drank a bundle (10 bottle).
For many years after that, I always drank white wine, because I always ran to the toilet after drinking beer.
Later, around 2008, when I was drinking with my friends, I felt that I was dizzy too quickly after drinking white wine. After drinking white wine for more than an hour, someone would be dizzy, and basically I could leave. So I started to drink beer instead, and I could sit and play with my friends for a while. I'll drink beer this time. Well, I'm beginning to like drinking beer. From the first three people drinking two pieces (9 bottles each, 578 ml each, then drinking Luoyang Palace beer), slowly, slowly, three people drinking 24 bottles, 28 bottles and 32 bottles of Laoshan beer (600 ml each). The amount of beer you drink is really rising bit by bit.
Over the past two years, there has been a "craft beer" in Luoyang. This beer is also quite delicious. It is brewed and sold now, and its alcohol content is high, but it is also quite expensive. Every catty of 6 yuan, each of us can drink seven or eight kilograms.
Drinking liquor is easy to get drunk, so many people don't like drinking liquor.
Drinking beer is weak and slow to get drunk, so many people like to drink beer.
Eating hot pot and having a cold beer is so enjoyable.
Sitting outdoors in a cool breeze and drinking beer with three or five friends is so flawed!
This question is very interesting, which may also reflect the deep misunderstanding of beer by many people who don't like beer. When the early beer was just popular, many people in my hometown would ask, "Beer is like horse urine. What is there to drink?" However, over the years, beer has been sold more and more widely. It is true that a person who has never drunk beer is mostly unhappy when drinking beer for the first time. I remember that when I was young, adults at home would pour some beer for the children on holidays. We usually drink it with our noses held, and then quickly change to Pak Lei. How delicious Pak Lei is!
However, with the growth of age, especially after boys grow into men, many people will find that beer is indispensable in their lives. In fact, after drinking beer several times and gradually accepting its initial bitterness, you will find that beer is not difficult to drink. It is mixed with the aroma of malt and yeast, and it will show a complex taste under the action of hops. Of course, nowadays, industrial lager beer is widely sold in the market in China, and its taste is relatively weak. In order to save costs, manufacturers also add a lot of starch, syrup and corn, but as a table drink, especially as a summer cooling weapon, beer is still very attractive, and beer barbecue is simply a perfect match for summer supper.
I am a beer lover. When I was in college, I was out of control at home, and my classmates often drank a lot. On summer nights, after the whole day's class ended, three or five friends came to a restaurant street near the campus, blowing a breeze on the roadside, eating skewers and drinking cold draft beers, and at the same time pointing out the mountains and inspiring words. It was simply a happy life. After work, I still like to have a drink occasionally at dinner, and I also like to taste local specialty beer when I visit other places.
Later, I gradually came into contact with foreign Al beer, such as Priests and Fujiabai (except Budweiser, Heineken and Corona, which are not much different from Qingdao and Snowflake). After tasting these wines, I found that the wines I used to drink were almost as tasteless and boring as water, so at that time, I nicknamed these domestic industrial beers as water beer and urine beer with my friends. It was also at this time that I began to drink different types of craft beer, such as yeast wheat white beer, light Al, dark Al, Porter, Shitao, IPA, monastery beer, etc. From the brand point of view, it is Duwei, Pink Elephant, Roosevelt, Zhimei, Brewing Dog, Horn Shark Head and so on.
These wines have their own characteristics. After drinking, they are round and full, taste buds seem to be awakened, and the layering is very strong. Under the action of different types of yeast and hops, they are either sweet or bitter, or they present fruit aroma. In short, they are like good wines, which makes me deeply feel the wonders of beer.
As a person who likes beer while doing scientific research, I naturally think: Can I brew my own beer? After that, I took action, started reading books, looked for information on forums, and looked up documents. I simply took out the energy to do a doctoral project. When my theoretical reserve was almost the same, I started to roll up my sleeves and work hard. I soon brewed several beers I liked, and I gave a lot to my friends to taste while meeting my own needs.
Nowadays, although craft beer and home-brewed beer are really delicious, and I love to drink them, I still drink ordinary industrial beer when I am drinking with my friends, especially at food stalls. The pleasure of gulping it down and the feeling of hitting my taste buds and esophagus after drinking it down is as wonderful as ever! I love beer! ! !
Hello, my name is Wen Dao Liu, and I'll answer it, too. Why do so many people like to drink beer, which tastes like swill?
First of all, beer is not as bad as swill as the title says. I don't know what swill is. Did the title drink swill, haha! In my impression, it's hard to drink beer at first. I can't tell the taste. I drank it at the instigation of my friends for the first time. After drinking it a few times slowly, I will miss the taste and buy it secretly. After a long time, I will like it.
It seems that the theme of the topic says, why does it taste strange, but so adults like to drink it? I think many things are like this, such as Chili, which is so spicy for the first time. Why are so many people unhappy? For example, coriander, for example, durian, think that after a long time, watermelon will become like it after it tastes.
People who can drink generally don't like to drink alone. They like to invite a few friends who can talk, order a few side dishes and make a toast. This feeling is still very cool, with food and meat. There are joys and sorrows, and you can also tell your friends loudly through the strength of wine, which is also the reason why many people like wine!
Besides, for myself, if there is no good food, no meat and nothing I like to eat, I don't like drinking beer. It feels bad to drink beer dry. I don't know if you are like this. All right, that's all.
First of all, with my years of drinking experience, beer doesn't taste like swill, but drinking beer when I was a child was really not very good and a little bitter. Now I often drink it, too, and I feel delicious when I drink too much. There are three aspects to drinking beer.
First, beer has certain nutritional value, not all beer is harmful to health, as long as moderate drinking is beneficial to the body. In 1960s, due to the limitation of production conditions, some raw materials were improperly treated, which led to the carcinogens nitrosamines and aflatoxins in beer. After 1980s, with the improvement of production technology, these substances no longer exist in beer. "Beer belly" is a problem that some people worry about. In fact, the main reason is that you consume high fat and high protein while drinking beer! The nutrition and anti-aging substances in beer are concentrated in fresh beer, and drinking fresh beer is good for health!
Second: wine culture, wine culture may refer to white wine, but now most young people don't like to drink white wine, and beer has become the mainstream. As the saying goes, there is no banquet without wine. Now all kinds of banquets or parties need beer. The earliest wedding banquet may only have white wine, but now both white wine and beer are needed. Including the reception of customers, beer is needed, which shows that the status of beer is not general.
Third: there is alcohol addiction! I am also addicted to alcohol, including myself. I was born in 1992, and I usually only drink beer when I go out to eat. Now, as long as you don't drink beer for two days, you feel a little like drinking it. At most, you have to go out and drink it once, and you have to drink it until you are happy, basically more than ten bottles. Because I like drinking, my friends often call me out to drink, and sometimes I'm embarrassed to refuse. They all say that abstinence means abstaining from friends, so I usually come when there is a meeting. I drank half a bottle of beer at the earliest, and then I often drank it with my friends. Now I drink more and more, and my weight has risen from the earliest 120 kg to the present 140 kg, and my beer belly has become more and more obvious. Now I drink with my friends. I often drink until 12 o'clock in the morning, or until 4 o'clock in the morning when I exaggerate. The most exaggerated thing is that sometimes friends will let them drink when they have a cold and cough, and they don't want to drink too much. They just say that it is good to vote (which means drinking). In fact, I also know that drinking often is not good, and I still stay up late, but I want to drink it myself. I do have alcohol addiction, and I will gradually drink less or not.
In a word: there are many noble people who drink white wine, and many friends who drink beer. Drinking white wine and beer together will definitely make my wife scold more!
When I was young, many people liked to drink soda, fruit juice and other drinks, but when I grew up, I was more inclined to beer at banquets. If you don't like drinking, you can't help wondering why some people like to drink such terrible beer, which tastes like horse urine.
The feeling of drinking beer for the first time
In fact, for most people, beer is not good, even those who are addicted to alcohol don't like it when they drink beer for the first time. The source of this bitterness is mainly hops, malt and alcohol, which can stimulate people's taste buds and produce bitterness.
The reason why people like beer.
1. Bitterness can balance the remaining unfermented sweetness of liquor, giving people a pleasant feeling, so they like to drink beer. In fact, many addictive things give people a painful feeling. Although they may feel uncomfortable in the first few times, they become addicted later.
For example, when people smoke, it is easy to choke and their throat is uncomfortable, but after smoking several times, they become addicted; The same is true of coffee, especially the bitter black coffee, which gives people more stimulation and addiction; Liquor, marijuana, etc.
The reason why people like to drink beer is because the party atmosphere needs it. Because when people drink, they will be more excited, make the party more lively and have a better time, which is beyond the reach of coke and orange juice. However, drinking alcohol is easy to get things wrong. If you drink high-alcohol liquor, you will get high, and people will be too drunk, so they prefer to drink beer.
3. Radish and vegetables have their own tastes. Some people like to sleep on their backs, others like to sleep on their sides, and others like to sleep on their stomachs, each with its own personality. Beer, naturally, is always liked by people. Like me, I don't like white wine, but I like beer more.
Although beer is cheaper, as long as you taste it carefully, you can still feel the unique beauty, the fragrance of malt and the refreshing golden juice. If you want to drink better, spend more money and buy a bottle or two of high-end beer. These high-end beers are not bad compared with some wines.
Although I don't like drinking, I still know the taste of beer, which is not as bad as I said. But when beer is drunk, it does have a strange smell, but it is far from the taste of swill. If it really has the taste of swill, I guess so many breweries will not be able to do it. Think about what the taste of swill is, it is a very unpleasant swish.
Moreover, most people, when drinking beer, often drink a variety of moods instead of wine, so when drinking beer, it often has little to do with the taste, which can be divided into the following points.
The first point is:
When friends get together to drink, often at this time, we don't drink wine, but the feelings between friends, so we don't care much about the price and taste of beer, but most of the beer we ordered is drunk in the process of bragging and chatting.
The second point is:
Sad to drink, in a bad mood, we often drink water instead of wine. At this time, even if the taste of beer is poor, for us in a bad mood, it is also silk Hao who doesn't care. After all, there is an old saying that it is good to get drunk and solve a thousand worries.
The third point is:
Lonely drinking, when we feel lonely, the beer at this time is not wine for us, but all kinds of loneliness, especially when we see others in pairs. So if we drink beer at this time, we hope that after drinking these beers, we will no longer feel lonely.
The fourth point is:
Happy drinking, when we are in a happy mood, but it is not good to share with friends, we often buy one or two bottles of beer ourselves and drink some alone to celebrate. At this time, the beer we drink is not wine, but something that allows us to start business.
The kind of beer you mentioned is industrial beer, which is not good for human health. The beer brewed with malt yeast hops is mellow in taste and fragrant in aftertaste, which is beneficial to human body.
The beer brewed by ancient people is called liquid bread, which shows that it has high nutritional value. In addition to a certain amount of low-molecular-weight sugar and amino acids, it also contains vitamin C, vitamin H, vitamin G and so on. Its amino acid content is 3 to 4 times higher than that of other beers, and its calorific value is also very high. Therefore, people call it a good crystal of beverage and enjoy the reputation of "milk". Originated in Germany, Munich dark beer is the most famous.
Beauty function: it can mainly moisturize the skin, provide nutrients and shrink pores.
It can effectively prevent senile cataracts. Strong, dark light beer or strong dark beer contains a lot of antioxidants, and antioxidants seem to prevent cataracts.
Beer tastes bad, so liquor, whisky and other spirits that are more difficult to drink are not even worse? If you decide whether to drink or not just by taste, it is estimated that no one in the world will drink. People go to drink, first of all, because it is wine, what they want is the alcohol in it, and the taste is second. Why do so many people like to drink beer? Beer is a kind of wine, so talk about why people like to drink, and then discuss why people like beer.
Wine is a cultural product. As we all know, in China, wine has a history of thousands of years. From ancient history books, folklore, poems and songs of literati, it is not difficult to find that China people have loved wine since ancient times. Up to now, no matter talking about business or gathering with relatives and friends, wine is indispensable, and wine has become the inheritance of China's Millennium culture. But if you look at it from a global perspective, all civilizations and nations have thousands of years of wine culture, and wine belongs to the cultural property of all mankind.
Why do people like drinking?
Scientifically speaking, alcohol can change the level of neurotransmitters and control people's thinking process, behavior and emotions. Alcohol also increases dopamine, a chemical in the reward center of the brain, which can make people feel happy when drinking.
People's motivation for drinking has the following situations:
Drink to drown one's sorrows. In life, nine times out of ten things are unpleasant. Wine can paralyze the nerves, make people forget the pain of reality for a while and relieve stress. It can be said that wine turns into homesickness and tears. But people have to face the reality after all. If they get into the wine, they will only raise their glasses to eliminate their worries.
Ceremony. Since ancient times, there have been many ceremonies about wine in China, such as worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping ancestors, marching bravely, welcoming guests, celebrating ceremonies, etc. There are too many, and wine is indispensable to these ceremonies. In modern society, we drink alone, and sometimes we give ourselves a ceremony subconsciously. For example, if you have any good news today, or simply feel in a good mood, you can't invite people to drink, and you have to have a drink yourself.
Communication. Regardless of the east and west, an important role of wine culture is communication. China people are shy and reserved by nature, and most of the time they are ashamed to express themselves. But under the influence of alcohol, people who are usually not good at words can also talk eloquently. Therefore, no wine, no table, everyone sits together, if you don't drink, it's just eating vegetables. When you're full, you're done.
In interpersonal communication, wine can act as a medium and become a bridge connecting two people. For example, if two people feel embarrassed when they say it at ordinary times, after drinking, they can say it in a state of drunkenness. Even after the event, the two sides did not reach an understanding, it is easy to use a "drunken slip of the tongue" to ease the embarrassment. Therefore, whether in China or abroad, it is common to talk about things and business in wine fields. The difference is that westerners have a preliminary intention in the wine field, and the contract must be signed when they are sober after drinking. We are different in this respect. We often drink well and sign a formal contract on the basis of our emotions.
Why is beer popular? Beer entered China from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century. The reason why it is so popular is that its taste is different from our traditional white wine and yellow wine, and it is better to eat than them. Especially, the cold beer in summer, with a strong killing effect, is the first choice for absolute drinkers.
Secondly, the alcohol content of beer is lower than that of spirits, so its audience is wide. People with low alcohol metabolism (alcohol consumption) may not be able to stand drinking white wine, so they can have a glass of beer.
Finally, the most important thing is that beer is cheaper than spirits and wine. You can drink a catty of low-end beer for two or three pieces, while high-quality beer costs tens of yuan a catty. But high-end liquor and red wine cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn.
Many people may not drink now, but after their thirties and forties, most people will raise their glasses. No way, this may be the power of culture. Finally, a friendly reminder: if you drink a little, you will be hurt by drunkenness. You must drink in moderation.
Chili is so spicy, why do you still like it? Coke is so harsh, why do you still like it? The reason is simple. It's good to drink beer.
Drinking is not only a taste of him, but also a feeling. Many people say that you can't live without wine, maybe it's not the wine itself, but the state of drunkenness ... Brothers and brothers talk about wine and reminisce about the past, and several girlfriends cry and drink. These are the states you never had at ordinary times, your truest heart. Life is so bad, why not have a good drink? Drunk and dreaming, I only want to be drunk and never wake up.
It is said that "but since water still flows, though we cut it with our swords, it's even more sad to raise a glass". Wine can make people forget everything temporarily, including sorrow. Although this is not permanent, before drinking, we still expect that wine can make us forget all kinds of sorrows in our lives and pursue the realm where we wake up and worry is gone.
Beer tastes bitter, and life tastes worse. Because no one has nothing to worry about all his life, and few people have never drunk alcohol all his life, it is still the same sentence, life is always there, sorrow is always there, and wine is always there, so let us grow up in life, resolve our worries in growth, learn to taste wine in sorrow, and realize life in tasting wine.
Why does beer taste like swill, and why do so many people like it?
A person who doesn't drink will never understand the psychology of drinkers. What are you drinking? It is mood, atmosphere, drinking heartily, communication and an outlet.
Since it exists, it has its reasons. Beer doesn't taste good. Is white wine good? For people who don't drink, they are looking for their own punishment. But it is a way of life for drinkers, just like some people say that smoking is not good and uncomfortable. Why do so many people still smoke? If there is an objective existence, there is a reason for it.
China has a wine culture for thousands of years, and family and friends get together without wine. I like drinking, especially white wine. It's cool to drink beer in summer. What is indispensable in the night market is beer and barbecue. In the evening, about three or five friends sat in the open-air food stalls with bare arms, enjoying the unpleasant moments during the day, and it was a kind of communication between friends. Talk about work, talk about life, talk about the triviality of life.
Wine is a double-edged sword, which suits you best. Although drinking is good, don't drink too much. In fact, whether to drink or not depends on oneself. In reality, few people drink wine, but the stormy waves of their own cups are turned upside down. As long as there is no special reason, you can drink or drink. The party is not easy. If you don't drink, your friends will be hurt, but drinking too much will hurt your health. It's okay to get drunk once in a while!
