Crafted Beer vs Mass Produced Beer
What’s better, mass produced or crafted beer?
According to (http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/business-tools/craft-brewing-statistics/craft-brewer-defined) a craft brewer is “small, independent and traditional”. They have to produce less than six million barrels to be considered a craft brewery. Also from a financial point there is a difference to a mass producing beer brewery, an alcoholic industry can only have a maximum of 25% of the brewery. If they own more than this they are considered mass producing brewery because the alcoholic industry is considered to own the craft brewery. Furthermore it has to have “at least 50% of its volume in either all malt beers or in beers which use adjuncts to enhance rather than lighten flavor” (http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/business-tools/craft-brewing-statistics/craft-brewer-defined). Although many people think that there is only “one” beer, most of them never tried crafted beer because they would notice immediately differences in taste compared to mass produced beer.
The history of crafted beer and mass produced beer is pretty different, as you can imagine beer exists a long time and the way of producing in industries is not very old. The first crafted beers were made in Egypt over 4,000 years ago. There are no records how the Egypt people came up with the idea, but according to (www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/beer.html) Osiris an Egyptian god taught the people how the brew beer, it was mostly a female activity and the main ingredient in was “bread made from a rich yeasty dough possibly including malt”, then it was “baked and crumbled through a sieve with water” and the last part was adding flavor and letting it stay in order to ferment. On the other hand the first mass produced beer was brewed about 3,800 years later in 1840 in the Czech Republic when the creator Pilsner Urquell decided to use the new technologies brought by the industrialization to make beer available for every person.
