Educational Insight: The History and Craft of Table Beer

  • Historical Roots: Originating from Europe, table beer was typically brewed for consumption within the family, including children. It was valued for its safety over water in times when public water systems were often contaminated.
  • Brewing Techniques: Modern brewing of table beer involves selecting yeast strains that deliver flavor without producing much alcohol. Brewers often focus on a balanced hop profile and use specialty grains to add complexity to the beer without increasing its strength.
  • Nutritional Benefits: Table beers are generally lower in calories compared to standard lagers or ales, making them a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers. Beer with lower alcohol content also reduces the overall calorie intake
