Various differences between craft beer and industrial beer

First, the brewing materials are different:

1. craft beer:

Brewing only uses malt, hops, yeast and water, without adding any artificial additives. Compared with industrial beer, malt content is more, hops are added more, and the brewed wort is thicker.

2. Industrial beer:

It is also brewed with malt, hops, yeast and water, but in order to pursue the cost, more raw materials such as rice, corn and starch are used instead of malt.

Second, the fermentation process is different:

1. craft beer:

Because there is no need to care too much about the cost, the fermentation time is often not paid special attention to, and the time cost is not considered too much. The fermentation time of the most traditional craft beer can be as long as 2 months, which makes the beer fully fermented, with higher wort concentration and stronger flavor.

2. Industrial beer:

For industrial beer, time is money, so the fermentation time of industrial beer is usually only about 7 days, which will not be particularly full, resulting in low wort concentration and light flavor.

Extended data

Draft beer adopts special brewing technology, strictly controls microbial indicators, adopts three-stage filtration including 0.45 micron micropore filtration, and does not undergo thermal sterilization, thus maintaining high biological, abiotic and flavor stability of beer. This kind of beer is very fresh and delicious, with a shelf life of more than half a year.

Dry beer is a kind of beer with high fermentation, low residual sugar and high carbon dioxide content. So it has the characteristics of dry taste and strong lethality. Because of its low sugar content, it belongs to low-calorie beer. The brewing of whole malt beer follows the German pure brewing method, and all raw materials are malt without adding any auxiliary materials (please refer to the raw materials of beer). The cost of beer produced is high, but the malt flavor is outstanding.
