What Is International Beer?

International beer refers to beers that are brewed outside of Australia, encompassing a wide range of styles, flavours, and traditions. From the smooth and balanced lagers of Europe to the bold and complex ales of the Americas and Asia, international beers offer something for everyone. Each region has its unique brewing techniques, ingredients, and flavour profiles, making international beer a diverse and exciting category to explore.

How International Beer Is Made: A Step-by-Step Guide

• Malting: The brewing process starts with malted barley or other grains, which are soaked in water to activate enzymes that break down starches into fermentable sugars.
• Mashing: The malted grains are mashed with hot water to extract sugars, creating a sweet liquid called wort.
• Boiling & Hopping: The wort is boiled, and hops are added to provide bitterness, aroma, and balance to the sweetness of the malt.
• Fermentation: Yeast is added to the wort, fermenting the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Different yeast strains and fermentation temperatures result in varying flavours and styles.
• Conditioning: The beer is conditioned to allow flavours to develop and mature. This step can take weeks to months, depending on the beer style.
• Bottling: The beer is filtered, carbonated, and bottled, ready for consumption.

Types of International Beer at Barrel & Batch

• Lager: Crisp, clean, and refreshing, lagers are one of the most popular beer styles globally, particularly known for their light malt profile and smooth finish.
• Pilsner: A type of lager with a more pronounced hop bitterness and floral aroma, pilsners are loved for their balance of malt sweetness and hop crispness.
• Wheat Beer: Made with a significant proportion of wheat, these beers are light, refreshing, and often feature fruity and spicy notes from the yeast.
• Ale: Ranging from pale ales to darker styles, ales are typically brewed with top-fermenting yeast, resulting in a wide variety of flavours, from fruity and hoppy to malty and rich.
• Stout: A dark, rich beer style with roasted malt flavours of coffee, chocolate, and caramel, stouts are perfect for those who enjoy full-bodied beers with a complex flavour profile.
• IPA (India Pale Ale): Known for its bold hop bitterness and fruity or citrusy aromas, IPA is a popular craft beer style that originated in England and has since evolved into many variations worldwide.
