What is the difference between an Ale and a Lager?
Ales and lagers are two different kinds of brewers yeast. They both make good beers but the ale yeast work better at room temperature and the lagers work
better at cooler temperatures. Lagers take a little longer to ferment because of the cooler temperatures and are typically aged longer as well.
A bottle of Dom Perignon 1985, is it still good in 2005?
Top of the line vintage Champagne (like Dom) have a nice shelf life, if stored properly. There are still vintages from the 60's rolling around out there
somewhere, and connoisseurs are still drinking them, they taste different from the new releases, but that's the intention.
How many Champagne toasts can be poured per bottle of Champagne?
Champagne pours are about 5 ounces if a champagne flute is filled about 80% full, but it is easier to skimp a toast though. The pour can be about 3 ounces.
After the toast there are always dozens of barely touched glasses of champagne laying around. People have a sip, and then set it down and go back to their
other drink.

How long will a keg of beer last?
Real draft beer is not pasteurized and must be kept refrigerated between 35°F. and 40°F. at all times. Above 43°F. a beer will become wild, turn sour
&, cloudy in a few days. Below 43°F. a keg of draft beer should last 20-30 days before it loses its fresh brewery taste and aroma.
What is better to drink beer or liquor as far as calories and getting whatever nutrition is available from it.?
Essentially, the major difference between light beer and distilled liquor is carbohydrates. Distilled liquor also has a lower number of calories,
however it's not significant as the proof level gets higher. Beer has higher levels of sodium, however, if you use diet soda mixers, the sodium in
your liquor drink goes up.
How do you open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew?
"You don't". You really need a corkscrew or other specific cork removing apparatus to get the cork out. In theory you could take a screw driver or some
tool like that and push the cork in to get at the wine, but that would be the most desperate attempt next to just breaking the neck off the bottle.
So the timeless example of wine buyers forgetting a corkscrew is just one of those funny lessons in wine drinking.
How many glasses of wine are there to a bottle of wine?
The standard 750 ml bottle of wine has 25.4 ounces of juice in it. Restaurants by the glass pours will be 6 oz., but for a gathering like a wedding everyone
talks about 5 oz. pours so you can get 5 glasses of wine out of a bottle.
What does "microbrewed" beer mean?
These are specialty beers with more flavor than the mass-produced type. They are made in very small quantities and only available in the local town
where they are brewed. They are all-natural and contain no additives or preservatives.
