Have you ever tried to count how many bottles of beer do you
drink every year? Avarage ingestion of beer in Poland is estimated at 98 litres
per each adult person. It’s about 196 bottles per year, so statistically we are
drinking beer more than two bottles per every 3 days. In case of students, it’s
much more because about 1,5 bottle per day. These statistics place our country
at 4th position in Europe. It’s impressive, isn’t it?
Have you ever tried to brew beer? In this article, I’ll try
to explain how to do that and second article will be about most popular beer
types. The main ingredient of beer is naturally well known hop but at first we
have to grind a malt into the powder. Then we have to pour the powder into a
big vat, mix and slowly heat up. The third step of making beer is flitrating
obtained extract and transfering the purified liquid into the first barrel
called „front barrel”. Extract with hop is boiled in front barrel and slowly
cooled down – it’s a main point of brewing beer. During this process we are
getting a lot of slugde on the top of big barrel. Undesirable leftover after
boiling has to be separated and a clear liquid is poured into next barrel where
beer is oxygenated. The last process is fermentation. Here we have to add
various types of yeast depending on the brewed beer. It’s the simplest way of
brewing beer. Each kind of beer need to be treated specifically.

As for how much I drink beers, I cannot say because it depends on a few things, but I think on average 4 beers per week.
Once I have visited a brewery in the Czech Republic. I even participated in a tour through the building so that I could see all the machines involved in the process of brewing. But I guess this, "factory" style of beer production differs a lot from home-brewing.
I like drinking beer, but I generally don't do it on my own, eg after work. I prefer to participate in social events to do that. So it varies how often I drink beer - sometimes it's several times a week and during exams it may be not at all.
I know the whole process of brewing. In the beginning, it seems to be complicated but after some time it's becoming easy.
I am trying to reduce drinking beer because my organism is not tolerating it very well. I would say - no more than 2 beers per week.
No, I didn’t. I have heard how to do it for quite a few times but I have never had a passion to do it. It sounds and it is really complicated. As long as I don’t really like beer there is no point for me to do it.
As I have written before, it happens rarely. If I had to estimate I would say that I drink 5-10 liters per year.
I didn't know the process of brewing the beer and I don't think it is common among people to brew their own beer since the prices of it aren't so bad. I think that the prices of ingredients could be much higher than going to the local store and buying a couple of bottles.
I don't drink beer that often, I usually prefer to drink wines and whisky. I am drinking it much more often than vodka, though. No one out there would be able to convince me that drinking vodka is fun. It's not tasty at all. Some might say that it's not about the taste being good. That's the kind of people that usually end the parties first.
I don't know the process of beer brew. I have read the article and I know what and how, but it is still hard to imagine that I could do it.
I don't drink beer often, I rather try not to drink, but once a week I think I drink one beer.
I don't know about process of brewing too much... only what my friend told me. You have to remember about temperature, time and any other factors to make a good beer.
It's hard to say but I think that 2 beers per weak is good average. It depends on situation and my free time.
2) Did you know the process of brewing?
3) How often do you drink beer?
1. My father tried to brew a beer but he used a special syrup which was a mixed of diffrent kinds of hops. Maybe it was a shortcut in brewing a own beer but I have to say that it was quite tasty and we have a satisfaction that we can share our own beer with our friends.
2. I already said that I don't know much about the process of brewing but I am concious that it is not so easy to made a tasty beer.
3. It is hard to say but I think that on average I drink one or two beers per week. :D
2. More or less, because my friend tried once to make his own beer... aaand he failed(yo Fabian :D).
3. Not that often. Maybe 2 beers for a week or even for two weeks. I drink more beer only on some bbq's.
No I don't.
2) Did you know the process of brewing?
I do, after reading this article.
3) How often do you drink beer?
I don't like taste beer, so I drank 2-3 bottles in the entire life.
I do. I was on tour in a brewery in Lviv and Check Republic but for sure my knowledge is not enough to brew it by my own.
Beer is generally the only type of alcohol which I drinking so I can say that much often than other alcohols :)
I don't know anything about this, that's why I thought about using ready solutions. Some companies sell prepared products, I mean all the equipment you need to brew a beer. It's the best option for newbies like me.
I drink beer too often. Most of the time two or more times a week ~6-10 bottles per week.
Nah, but I always wanted to try. I imagine it requires a lot of time and space to store these barrels, which always discouraged me from brewing some.
2) Did you know the process of brewing?
Well, I've heard it multiple times, but in my opinion I'm not interested enough to remember all the details and it all just fall apart in my memory. Thanks for refreshing this knowledge.
3) How often do you drink beer?
I had this time when I drunk beers each and every day for a quite long period of time, but finally I'm over it. Currently I tend to drink some kraft beers from time to time, just to chill with something cold, sour and delicious.
I am not a beer person, and it is hard for me to say exact amount. It depends on the weather and my plans. Usually I could say that I am drinking about 3-4 bottles per week ( not always).
1) Have you ever tried to brew beer?
Yes but I hate it.
2) Did you know the process of brewing?
Yes, in Kiev we have factory "Obolon" that make a lot of beer not only for Ukraine but also to export.
3) How often do you drink beer?
I don't drink beer.
Unfortunately no but my friend brewed beer few times and it was absolutely outstanding.
2) Did you know the process of brewing?
After reading this article, yes ;)
3) How often do you drink beer?
Maybe twice a month, max 4 bottles.
2. As i'm close with those friends, yes.
3. Im not surprised with those numbers at all but, im not this kind of a person. I'm drinking hardly any alcohol. It is usually caused by my lazyness and willingnes to drive. So when you see me you know i can't drink coz i'm with a car. Or maybe i'm with my gf then i'm free to do whatever i want.
How often do I drink beer? I think about once-twice per 2 weeks, usually during football matches or when I go out with my friends.
Barely. But I think that in the nearest future I will learn much more about it. I hope it is a simple process.
2 times a week. But I do drink it because of the taste, not because of the alcohol in it. To be honest beer could be without alcohol - for me it wouldn't make any difference.
Not fully, but I know some part of the processing what beer needs. At first you need to harvest barley from which most of the beer is made, than you malt it, boil and ferment it, with other ingredients, last stage is to bottle it wait some time and drink.
As a huge beer lover, I think I drink beer every day, maybe with some exemptions. It is already became a habit.
Not that often. I guess once per month, usually even less. I dont like beer that much in general)
I'm abstinent so i don't drink alcohol. That's why I also haven't tried to brew beer. I read about how to brew beer in articles earlier on this blog.
On the last question i answer up.
