Learn the fundamental differences between craft beer and industrial mass-produced beers in terms of ingredients, flavor profile, and brewing process.
To produce millions of liters cheaply, big beer brands replace barley malt with corn, rice, or syrup. While this makes the beer light, it dilutes the rich grain taste. Craft brewers stick to a no-compromise rule: 100% premium barley malt, imported yeast strains, and 5 to 10 times more hops to capture rich aromas.
Industrial beer is brewed rapidly, filtered heavily to remove all live yeast, and pasteurized for long shelf lives. Craft beer is brewed in small batches under a master brewer. It matures slowly without preservatives, preserving active, healthy yeast and complex flavors.
