80 Different Mystery Beers

Way back in the year 1919 beer was once banned. Barrels of beer were confiscated and broken from one end of this great country to the other. Breweries either had to find another way to survive in the market place, such as producing ice tea, root beer and other beverages, or they went belly up. Drinking a beer was against the law, and became an act of protest against those in power. Each toast was a citizen's demand to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Prohibition lasted all the way through the roaring twenties, and when beer became legal again fourteen years later, the taste of beer was never the same again, as it was before. That is until just a few years ago when a clean up worker accidentally discovered an old beer recipe in the lost basement archives of an old brewery dating back before the time of prohibition. On the cover of the very old dusty file, it read "batch nineteen" in old style writing, which was inspired by the last batches of beer brewed before the year 1919. This particular type of beer was inspired by an authentic pre-prohibition recipe. It was bold, hoppy, and a surprisingly balanced lager, which derived it's bold taste from a rare combination of hops that included hersbrucker and strisselspalt. The hersbrucker hops provide herbal notes, and strisselspalt hops deliver notes of black currant. This is the only major brewing company in the United States of America that uses this particular combination today in modern times. Now you all are probably wondering just what is the name of this brewing company that produces this defiantly bold beer. Well to be perfectly honest with you, I'm not going to tell just yet. However I will give you all some time to guess the correct name of this famous brewing company below, before I reveal to you the correct answer. Good Luck, and the winner will get a big at-ta-boy!

The correct answer is MillerCoors brewing company as correctly guessed by drbj ! These two big American brewers formed a joint venture in 2007. Miller brewing company was established in 1855, and has 6 breweries around the country. They are located in Fort Worth, Texas; Irwindale, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Eden, North Carolina; Albany, Georgia; and Trenton, Ohio. Coors was established in 1873, and has two breweries, which are located in Golden, Colorado and Shanendoah, Virginia. These 8 breweries are actually under the umbrella of SAB (South African Breweries), which is headquartered in London, England. SAB has control of about 200 breweries in countries all around the world. Famous breweries like Foster's, Castle, Grolsch, Peroni, and Pilsner Urquell to name just a few. I realize that Coors was named in the very first comment of this hub, however that was only half right, and as you all can now see this was actually a rather complicated answer in the end. I want to thank you all for visiting this hub.

Irish people are passionate about many things, and one of them is beer. This beer came into existence back in 1864 and was pioneered as one of the first red beers at G.H. Lett & Co, the oldest independent brewery in Ireland. People often ask about that beautiful ruby color, and how does it come about. They are told that it's the perfected special art of slow roasting of the caramel malts that creates a ruby red beer known for it's remarkable color, and smoother bold taste. The slower the roasting, then the richer the color and the smoother the flavor. That's why they roast the malts for more than half a day. They are very proud of the fact that something that started back in Ireland in the 1860s carries on here in the United States of America today.
