Beer dispense containers

Tags: Beer

Understanding the formats beer comes in

The story of a beer may well start as an idea in the brewer’s mind, or with the ingredients that enable their recipes to shine. The container plays just as important a role in the development, transportation, and enjoyment of beer by the drinker. Different containers allow specific types of beer to be enjoyed at their best. Understanding containers, like getting to know hops and malts, allows us to make more informed choices when selecting that next glass at the bar.
