Learn to make a beer from scratch - craft beer workshop in Bucharest

Didn't you think of that beer-loving friend when you saw this experience? Or maybe it's sparked your own curiosity to create a beer from scratch, using standard beer ingredients and brewing process. What's the process? Mashing the barley malt, mashing the wort and sparging the malt, boiling the wort and adding hops, cooling the wort and fermenting. 

There are many styles of beer, and there are also differences between the same style produced in Europe or in the United States. But that's okay, that's what homebrewing for beginners is for. To simplify things for those interested in discovering the brewing process and to whet their appetite for discovering and brewing other beers, we've chosen a beer with a simple recipe - a wheat beer using only two types of malt and two types of hops, which we gave a special touch - using a variety of hops that grows on the west coast of the United States, and which we decided to call West Coast Wheat Beer - if you really want to give it a Romanian name. The resulting beer has a deep yellow color, opaque appearance, and produces a white head with notes of spice and some pine and citrus when poured into the glass. The best thing about this beer (apart from the fact that it is very good whatever the season and social context in which it is consumed) is that its production process is 99% identical to any other style of beer. So, once you've learned how to brew a West Coast Wheat Beer, all that's left to do is experiment with other recipes, applying the same brewing principles.

It's a brilliant gift idea, isn't it? It's a funny, unique and useful gift at the same time.
