How
We Brew the Beer
| In a nutshell, beer is a fermented or fermenting grain beverage. Every Steelhead location brews its own beer fresh, to serve on the premises. Barley is taken from a huge grain bin outside, milled to grist, mixed with warm water, and left to set for an hour. During that time, the grain starches are converted to malt sugars. Then the sweet liquid is strained out, moved to the kettle, and boiled with hops, which provide a bitter balance to the beer. | After the boil, the bitter liquid is cooled, and fresh yeast is added. Now it is called beer. The fermenting beer is conditioned and aged in a tall cone-bottomed tank, and then it is filtered and moved into a serving tank in a refrigerated room. The beer you hold in your hand was served fresh from the tank. Our brewers are proud of their craft and hope you will enjoy the fruits of their creativity. |
