3.1.1 The Brewing of Beer
Almost all Beer contains only of four ingredients, such as: Barley,
Water, Hops and Yeast. While Grapes grow well in warm climates,
Barley grows better in cooler climes. This is how the northern countries
of Germany and England became famous for their Beers.
Pilsner is lager beer that has a stronger hops flavor rather than
regular lager beer. It is stored in the limestone caves of Pilsen in
Czechoslovakia.

Cognac
All Cognac are produced from wines made from grapes grown and
harvested² within the demarcated Cognac region, about 100 miles
north of Bordeaux on the cost of France.
All Cognac is Brandy, but not all Brandy is Cognac. True Cognacs are
only from the Cognac region of France and they are the finest of all
Brandies. Cognac is always distilled twice in small copper pot stills for a
minimum of 3 years in Oak vats. To be called Cognac a Brandy must
made from certain type of grape that grows only in area of Cognac,
western France. It is rated the best Brandy in the world, smooth with a
heady scent. Subtle differences in the blending and aging process also
account for the market taste differences between brands and products
of the same brands (i.e. VS and VSOP). Just a little extra information:
Cognac VS means Very Special; Cognac VSOP means Very Special
Old Pale
; Cognac XO means Extra Old.

Bourbon
(Rp 42.000) Jim Beam Jack Daniel’s
Bourbon whiskey –
There are strict laws governing just what a Bourbon must to be labeled
as such. For example, at least 51% of the grain used in making the
whiskey must be corn (most distillers use 65 to 75 percent corn).
Bourbon whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years in new,
white oak barrels that have been charred. Nothing can be added at
bottling to enhance flavor, add sweetness or alter color.
American Whiskey –
Are all grain spirits that have been produced from a mash bill that
usually mixes together corn, rye, wheat, barley and other grains in
different promotions, and then generally aged for an extended period
of time in wooden barrels. The two major American blends are bourbon
and rye. The principal difference between the two is that rye is made
almost exclusively from rye grain while bourbon is made from three
grains but never combinations of wheat and rye. “Use one, or use the
other” that is the TRADITION.
Distilling is process whereby a liquid made of two or more parts is
separated into smaller parts of desired purity by the addition and
subtraction of heat from the mixture. The vapors/liquids distilled will be
richer in content than any of their ingredients that have lower boiling
points. The mixture that is distilled is known as a “Mash” and it is the
preparation and the grains used in this mash that set apart the various
types of Whiskeys.

Myer`s Rum
Rum – Rum is mainly produced in the region of the Caribbean Sea,
including the west Indies and the surrounding countries of South and
Central America. Rum comes from sugarcane. It is the alcoholic
distillate or a mixture of distillates from the fermented juice of
sugarcane, sugarcane molasses, or other sugarcane by- products
distilled at less than 190 proof (whether or not such proof is further
reduced before bottling to not less than 80 proof).
Proof – While the alcohol content in wine, whiskey and other drinks is
usually expressed as a percentage by volume in Europe, the alcohol
content of whiskey is expressed as “PROOF” in some countries,
including America. Fortunately, the conversion is quite simple: the
Proof number is simply double the percentage of alcohol by volume.
Thus, “100 Proof” whiskey contains 50% alcohol.
