More details about unusual beer, its most popular varieties and some interesting facts in this article.
Why is lemon served for beer?
Many bars and restaurants around the world serve a glass of beer with sliced lemon. "Why do this?" - a question that torment, perhaps, every pivoman. The answer to the ugliness is simple: the acid contained in this fruit interrupts the yeast taste of beer.
Typically, lemon is served with white unfiltered beer. It is with this drink that this fruit blends best. But it’s better not to add lemon to wheat, because acid will quickly make an appetizing foam settle in the glass.
How to drink beer with lemon?
This is an important issue. There are several ways to drink beer with lemon. For example, in Mexico, the edges of a glass are pre-lubricated with lemon and dipped in salt, after which they are placed on the bottom a few slices of fruit, covered with ice to the top, squeezed lime juice and only after that pour beer.
In Russian pubs, you can most often meet a friend serving. A slice of lemon clings to the neck of a bottle or is placed in a glass of beer to give it an unusual taste and aroma.
By the way, not all beer drinkers drink beer with lemon correctly. Some believe that you need to drink a drink through a slice of lemon, directly from the neck. In fact, it will be right to squeeze the juice into the bottle and only then begin to enjoy the amazing taste.
Most often they drink Corona Extra beer with lemon, whose homeland is sunny Mexico. Alcohol must be cooled before drinking. However, you do not need to put a bottle in the freezer to avoid the formation of ice.
Insert a slice of lime in the neck, squeeze out the juice, then immerse a piece of fruit in a bottle and mix it all. To do this, hold the neck of the bottle with your thumb and make a few neat tilts up and down. It is important not to rush, otherwise there is a risk of getting a "beer fountain".
