ABV (Alcohol by Volume) indicates the percentage of alcohol in the beer. Most beers range from 4% to 7% ABV, though some specialty styles can go much higher.
IBU (International Bitterness Units) measures the bitterness from hops. Higher IBU = more bitter.
Beer is best enjoyed fresh. Hops fade over time, affecting flavor and aroma, especially in IPAs and pale ales.
Serving beer at the right temperature enhances flavor and aroma. Too cold mutes flavors; too warm brings out off-flavors.
Pro Tip: If beer comes out too cold, let it warm in the glass for a few minutes.
Proper glassware enhances aroma, controls carbonation, and showcases the beer's appearance.
Craft beer comes from small, independent breweries that focus on quality, flavor, and traditional brewing methods.
Craft Beer:
Macro Beer:
Both Have Their Place: Craft for flavor exploration, macro for easy drinking and budget-friendly options.
General Rule: Plan for 1-2 drinks per person per hour for the first 2 hours, then 1 drink per hour after that.

The main difference is the fermentation process:
Ales: Fermented at warmer temperatures (60-75Β°F) with top-fermenting yeast. Result: fruity, complex flavors. Examples: IPA, pale ale, stout, porter.
Lagers: Fermented at cooler temperatures (45-55Β°F) with bottom-fermenting yeast. Result: clean, crisp flavor. Examples: pilsner, helles, bock, American lagers like Budweiser.
Neither is "better" - it's just personal preference and style!
Beer freshness varies by style:
Always check the "bottled on" or "best by" date on the package. Store beer cold and upright for best results.
