The Various Types of Irish Beer

Breweries in Ireland has been making various different types of beer for centuries. The style of the beer is what goes into the creation of the beer in Ireland. It helps to make the style the most important factor in the beer. Irish beer is one of the best types of beer to try out and there are all sorts of kinds that are available.

One of the most common types of beer that is produced in Ireland is that of ale. What makes the ale used in Ireland different from that of other ales from other countries is that in Ireland no hops are used. That is because hops are not native to Ireland. Countries around Ireland have continued to use hops but Ireland has resisted the influence of hops ever since.

Ireland began to import beer from other countries later than most. In the eighteenth century beers from outside of the country began to be allowed in Ireland. However, Irish beer was still a favorite. In fact, around the same time in the eighteenth century Arthur Guinness formed his own brewery. Since then Guinness beer has been not only the top beer in all of Ireland but also one of the world's most popular beers.

There are three basic types of beer that are brewed in Ireland. The first of the types of beer is that of lager. While lager was not completely popular at first it became more common over time thanks to an increase in consumption in the 1950s. Lager production in Ireland and the nearby United Kingdom have since increased as a result.

The next of the types is red ale. This type of beer gets its name from the slight red color that is featured in the body of the beer. It is not as strong as other types of beer but there are exports that are available in Ireland that are stronger than that the country itself produced. Like with other ales made in Ireland there are no hops used here.

The last of the types is stout beer. This is the most popular type of beer that is sold in the country. Guinness is the most popular of all of the stout brewers in the country. It has a stronger taste to it which makes it a hit in not only Ireland but also in other countries.

Over the past few centuries more people around the world have tried and enjoyed the many different types of Irish beer. With all of the unique features and qualities to these beers it can be seen why they are popular and are even favorites among certain people. Be sure to try out one of these types of beer today.
