Global technology company <keyword id="1607389" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dyson">Dyson</keyword> on Thursday launched a revolutionary Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic <keyword id="1606234" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Air-Purifier">air purifier</keyword> and heater in India that captures pollutants and destroys formaldehyde, delivering <keyword id="1199338" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="cleaner-air">cleaner air</keyword> to every corner of the whole room.<br /><br />When formaldehyde is present in the air at levels exceeding 0.1 ppm, some individuals may experience adverse effects such as watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, nausea and skin irritation.<br /><br />Formaldehyde is a colourless chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products.<br /><br />Priced at Rs 61,900, the new Dyson air purifier and heater destroys formaldehyde continuously at a molecular level, transforming this harmful gas into small amounts of water and Carbon Dioxide.<br /><br />"Formaldehyde is 500 times smaller than PM0.1, and it is particularly difficult to capture. Our chemist team has been searching for various methods to solve this problem since 2016. We have tested more than 20 different catalysts before identifying Cryptomelane. Our obsessive approach to engineering has led us to take a different approach," explained Dr Nathan Brown, Head of Research for Environmental Control at Dyson.<br /><br />Living in the era of the "indoor generation", we are breathing in more pollutants indoors as we are spending up to 90 per cent of our time behind closed doors.<br /><br />Many everyday household items can emit formaldehyde, including pressed wood products, antiseptics and cleaning agents, carpets, permanent press fabrics, cigarettes, cosmetics, paints and varnishes.<br /><br />Dyson engineers along with SGS China, an independent advanced testing establishment, recently conducted a study on indoor air quality for Delhi NCR homes using Dyson technology.<br /><br />The study found the average quantity of formaldehyde to be 169.1 mg/kg, while the maximum value in a home was found to be 649 mg/kg.<br /><br />"Harnessing Dyson's expertise in chemistry, sensing, filtration and fluid dynamics, Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic machines are engineered to be the total air purification solution for your home -- removing ultra-fine particles, odours, gases and destroying formaldehyde, continuously," said Charlie Park, Global Category Director for Environmental Control.<br /><br />The air purifier automatically senses the indoor air pollution and activates the machine to purify throughout the whole room, capturing 99.95 per cent of ultrafine particles and destroying formaldehyde continuously.<br /><br />Dyson air purifiers can separately display four pollutants -- PM2.5, PM10, VOCs and NO2.<br /><br />A LCD display shows which particles and gases the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic machines are automatically sensing in real time.<br /><br />A unique Dyson algorithm processes the input from three sensors and then displays air quality readings in real time.<br /><br />With thermostat heat control, the machine automatically keeps the room at the target temperature.<br /><br />The heating function will switch to stand-by mode once the target is reached and will switch back on once it senses a drop in the temperature, the company said.<br /><br />The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic air purifier and heater is available in a white and gold colour across online and offline platforms in India.<br /><br /><b>SEE ALSO:</b><br /><br /> <b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/pollution-woes-giant-air-purifiers-to-be-installed-in-east-delhi-soon/articleshow/79193063.cms">Pollution woes: Giant air purifiers to be installed in East Delhi soon</a></b><br />

There is variation, colour, and uniqueness in <keyword id="6355784" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="death">death</keyword> that indoor pollution brings with it. Things that you have fallen in love with and think you cannot live without can sometimes enter your <keyword id="6360041" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="life">life</keyword> to take it… and this isn’t a hyperbole. Look at perfumes, hair sprays, furniture polish, glues, air fresheners, moth repellents, wood preservatives synthetic materials for building and furnishing and you’ll know what I am talking about. Then there is use of chemical products, pesticides, and household care products that help you transform your home into a swachch home but certainly not a safe home. These are all modern day symbols of the immortal art of Da Vinci as our print and AV ads would want us to believe, but they inch us closer to death in more than one way.<br />
 <br /> You taste, touch, or inhale and you’ll know what I mean when I call them the <keyword id="2750177" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Da-Vinci-of-death">Da Vinci of death</keyword>. Even the smoke from biofuels emits the four dreaded pollutants like the particulates, carbon monoxide, polycyclic organic matter, and formaldehyde… and these aren’t innocent spirals of smoke lending that unique flavour to <em>chapatis and dal</em>. With architects now recommending relatively airtight houses even in India (as we have begun to afford air conditioners and radiators etc) the pollutant level is bound to increase because of the resultant reduction in ventilation.<br />
 <br />
As I sat mulling over these grim facts, my thoughts decided to play a little game on me and asked, ‘Any favourite pollutions that you think should be flogged?’<br />
 <br />
Without wasting a moment, I said, ‘Noise pollution. Political pollution. Indoor pollution.’<br />
 <br />
‘Aha!’ said my thoughts, ‘so you don’t think outdoor pollution is as bad as the three you’ve mentioned.’<br />
 <br />
‘I didn’t say that, did I?’ I said, ‘but I must admit that indoor pollution can induce infections, initiate lung cancer, and even pulmonary diseases like asthma.’ My thoughts then asked me to choose five Bollywood icons and guess how they would react to this simple question: ‘Do you fear indoor pollution?’<br />
 <br />
So, there I was sitting on an inexpensive chair in my sparsely decorated home and zipping over to people like Alia Bhatt, Amjad Khan or Gabbar, Sunny Leone, SRK, and Amitabh Bachchan to hear the famous actors say something in their own way.<br />
 <br />
Well, Alia Bhatt asked me to repeat the question and then clapped her hands and said, ‘I don’t fear anything but do send me an invite for the event.’<br />
 <br />
‘Event?’ I asked, confused.<br />
 <br />
‘Well yes, you did mention pollution and indoor… remember?’ said Alia, cocking her head, smiling, and adding, ‘I think you’re talking about an indoor event and if it is like that AIB Roast, it is going to be fun. Such events must be purified by smiles.’ Well, so that was a rather short interview with Alia and she wasn’t really wrong… we need to begin with a confident smile before we take any action against indoor pollution. Right?<br />
 <br />
Gabbar was in his elements when I met and simply walked up and down the room before asking, ‘<em>Kitne pollution hain</em>?’<br />
 <br />
I said, ‘<em>Sardar</em><em>, ek… sirf indoor pollution hai</em>.’<br />
 <br />
‘<em>Toh</em><em> fir darr kaisa</em>?’ Gabbar roared, ‘<em>mera</em><em> naam le lo aur phir sau saal tak pollushun kuch nahin karega</em>!’<br />
 <br />
I’m sure what Gabbar was really trying to tell me was that no pollutant ever exists without another killer instinct being born. Just search for this solution and indoor pollution will be easy to counter.<br />
 <br />
I found myself with Sunny Leone and she just fluttered her eye-lids and coo-ed, ‘Well, lots of women call me an indoor pollution, and I know I’m deadly. Fear means nothing if you have your own action plan.’<br />
 <br />
That’s it… I murmured and thanked her because she had clearly told me that only a well-defined and technologically sound action plan would help.<br />
 <br />
So, I then hopped over to SRK who just ‘humph-ed and hurr-ed! me aside and then taking off his shirt to show me some flabby abs, said, ‘I don’t fear no one. Indoor or outdoor. Poll or no poll. I shun them all. I have to rush to make another flop… bye!’ Well, I interpret this scurried answer as a warning that indoor pollution isn’t something that must be allowed to stay on and cause all those headaches, dry eyes, nasal congestion bouts, nausea, and fatigue… just act fast! Speed is of essence. Obviously then, indoor pollution must not be your guest for life… it could be devastating indeed!<br />
 <br />
When I asked Sr Bachchan the same question, he replied, ‘Babu ji would have quoted these lines from one of his poems.’ And then he recited two lines before leaving me with my thoughts.<br />
 <br />
ऐसा सुनता, उस पार, प्रिये, <br />
ये साधन भी छिन जाएँगे;<br />
तब मानव की चेतनता का <br />
आधार न जाने क्या होगा!<br />
इस पार, प्रिये मधु है तुम हो, <br />
उस पार न जाने क्या होगा!<br />
 <br />
And Amitabh too had hit the nail in his own special way… and the lines did seem to talk so favourably about the unexpected losses on the other side, that is, if you crossed over to times of severe indoor pollution. The beauty of a great poem is that it interprets every situation the best way.<br />
 <br />
So yes, indoor pollution is indeed something that even the Bollywood icons acknowledged in a different manner… and we ordinary mortals must not really overlook the hazards that it poses.<br />
 <br />
We need to be aware of the issues surrounding indoor pollution… and even other forms of pollution, of course. I mention the indoor form because most of us tend to spend a lot of time indoors and so cannot afford to let it destroy our lives. And, by the way, did I mention that pollutants exist in micron sizes so you cannot actually pick them up and put them in a recycle bag. These micro-sized monsters need specialised busters… though you can reduce your exposure to pollutants if you know what to do in certain cases.<br />
 <br />
It will be helpful to know that broken CFLs releases mercury, a neurotoxin in the air… so the best action is to simply open the windows and let fresh air come and clear the environment.<br />
 <br />
Your gadgets have plastic parts… and plastics made with polyvinyl chloride emit phthalates that may lead to hormonal abnormalities and reproductive problems. Plastics also release polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which are flame-retardant chemicals known to cause neurobehavioral changes. So what does one do? Simple. Encourage adequate ventilation until the chemical odour goes away. Be regular in vacuuming around computers, printers, and televisions.<br />
 <br />
Even glues and adhesives aren’t as virtuous as they seem with their relationship with acetone or methyl ethyl ketone that irritates eyes and affects the nervous system. Rubber cement has n-hexane, a neurotoxin and adhesives are known to have toxic formaldehyde. The secret of escaping these hazards is to encourage a fair degree of ventilation in the house.<br />
 <br />
Kitchen with their platoon of stoves, heaters, and fireplaces can have an abundance of carbon monoxide that can cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and even death in the absence of proper ventilation. Nitrogen dioxides and other particulates, doctors say, can cause respiratory disorders and inflammation of the eyes, nose, and throat.<br />
 <br />
Isn’t all this serious enough? Isn’t it time to realise that pollution is much more than just exhaust fumes on busy traffic congested roads. It is right there inside a home that you have been thinking of as a safe haven all this while. Pollution isn’t just in the Ganges or existing only as garbage piles on the slopes of pristine mountains—it is right under your nose inside your house. Yes, pollution is surely transforming this world into a global garbage can, but if you do not allow your awareness instincts to act right, your home will be a stinking source of illness and disease even before any other form of pollution overwhelms existence. Therefore, it is time to sit up and say: indoor pollution is a reality and I want our think-tanks to serve us a solution. Prevent your home from becoming a Da Vinci of death!<br />

I hadn't arranged a guide and had no plan beyond my first few nights at a hostel. To many, my trip seemed insane, but I was committed. </p><h2><div type="image" title="The vistas on a multi-day hike to the Shimshal Pass, not far from the Chinese border." height="2614" width="3486" msid="100102331" hostid="261"></div></h2><h2><strong>Why Hunza Valley? </strong></h2><p>My 2021 journey brought me to Hunza Valley for a reason. I'd head it was well known as the safest destination for <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Life/Hunza-Valley-women-challenge-Pakistani-patriarchy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">solo female travelers</a>, largely due to its <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/high-up-on-a-pakistani-mountain-a-success-story-for-moderate-islam/2015/07/22/f0b878d2-2572-11e5-b77f-eb13a215f593_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liberal culture toward women</a>.</p><div type="image" title="Woman walking Hunza Valley" height="4854" width="6472" msid="100102550" hostid="261"></div><p>Hunza Valley is a remote area in Northern Pakistan. The Gatorade-blue rivers and snow-capped mountains make Hunza a popular tourist destination. The local community is known for its hospitality, and I immediately felt at home – something I'd never felt in big-city America.</p><p>The community is welcoming of outsiders — respecting and taking care of guests is a core value here. Before 9/11, there were droves of foreign travelers coming to Hunza, and many locals and their families worked in tourism, so I was welcomed readily. </p><div type="image" title="The Karakoram highway that cuts through Hunza" height="3648" width="4864" msid="100102551" hostid="261"></div><p>Hunza is home to a <a href="https://www.thejuggernaut.com/ismaili-muslims-pakistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">majority Ismaili community</a>, a liberal sect of Islam. Teens hang out in mixed groups, women own restaurants and shops, and it's common for girls to receive higher education.</p><p>I settled in Hunza and have lived here for nearly two years.</p><h2><strong>Many Westerners I've spoken with have trepidations about Pakistan</strong></h2><h2><strong><div type="image" title="Shea sits with locals in a small seaside village on the border of Sindh and Balochistan in the far south of Pakistan." height="3448" width="4597" msid="100102553" hostid="261"></div></strong></h2><p>Hunza itself could not be safer. I don't worry about locking my bike, or even my doors. I've never witnessed a crime of any kind, nor any of the terrorist incidents the US State Department warns travelers of.</p><p>Barely a day after I'd arrived, I found myself lost on a 5-mile trek I set out on alone. Wandering, I ran into a young male shepherd. He insisted on showing me the route back and carrying my bag.</p><p>I kept waiting for "that moment" for which all solo female travelers are on high alert — but it never came. The shepherd was polite and helped me safely find the trail.</p><div type="image" title="Hunza valley in Northern Pakistan" height="1066" width="1422" msid="100102555" hostid="261"></div><p>I think I felt more comfortable in Hunza than I did in Miami for several reasons: The local cuisine shared many similarities with my Polish grandma's recipes, I experienced daily peace, and being surrounded by 20,000-foot peaks made me feel like I positively was on another planet.</p><div type="image" title="Traditional spread of Hunza foods." height="1405" width="1874" msid="100102558" hostid="261"></div><p>I didn't have great WiFi for the first few months of living in Hunza, which was stressful at times. I've since found work-arounds, but it's not simple. </p><h2><strong>The biggest issue is that electricity comes on for </strong><strong>only </strong><strong>around 5 or 6 hours a day, primarily at night</strong></h2><p>I knew Northern Pakistan didn't have great electricity from my 2019 trip to other mountain valleys. Regardless, I always travel with a power bank.</p><p>I remember times when the electricity wouldn't come on as planned and I'd forgotten to charge my devices properly. I found it incredibly stressful, especially if I had a lot of work.</p><div type="image" title="Cycling in the Hunza Valley" height="1410" width="1884" msid="100102560" hostid="261"></div><p>Once, while on a road trip through Upper Chitral, another mountainous region in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, my power bank fell in water and wouldn't turn on.</p><p>I was in an area even more remote than Hunza and knew the power bank likely wasn't sold anywhere in Pakistan. The bank amazingly came back to life, but I did end up breaking another one a year later.</p><p>When these things happen, it makes me miss conveniences like Amazon, but a company called Daraz does manage to deliver plenty of items to Hunza within two or three days. </p><p>Power banks and other electronics can also be sourced from other countries via Packr, an app I've used several times to receive items from the US.</p><p>Now I have a permanent home, I've arranged more long-term solutions. </p><p>I bought a $35 UPS car battery at a local market, which keeps my WiFi router and basic lights working 24/7. I also have two 26,800-mAh Anker power banks as backups, the 2nd of which I purchased after that road-trip scare.</p><h2><div type="image" title="Car battery for back up electricity." height="5304" width="7072" msid="100102562" hostid="261"></div></h2><h2><strong>How I live and work in Hunza Valley</strong></h2><p>One month of accommodation costs between $150 and $250 on average — a far cry from the $1,300 I paid in Miami to share an apartment with roommates.</p><p>My life in Hunza began in Gojal, the local name for the northern portion of the region. When I arrived, I stayed in hotels. Nowhere I stayed cost more than $15 a night, and if I got a long-stay rate, they averaged closer to $8 a night.</p><div type="image" title="Gate to a house in Hunza Valley" height="7477" width="4987" msid="100102564" hostid="261"></div><p>Hunza was slightly more expensive than I thought, especially before I found permanent accommodation. </p><p>I was shocked by how expensive some hotels were. Budget options are available, but a large portion of Hunza's tourism caters to the wealthy sector of the domestic market.</p><p>This experience has positively influenced my career as a freelancer. I've had my stories published in major media outlets. I also run an Instagram account and a YouTube channel focusing on life here and helping travelers plan their trips.</p><h2><div type="image" title="Shea speaking at a tourism event in Hunza" height="2274" width="3024" msid="100102569" hostid="261"></div></h2><h2><strong>I now live in Aliabad in central Hunza, the largest town in the district </strong></h2><div type="image" title="Samantha Shea and her boyfriend sat outside their house." height="1737" width="2316" msid="100102572" hostid="261"></div>I met my now partner, Fareed, in a local coworking space a few months after I arrived in Hunza.

It had no electricity, flooring, or running water. We recently renovated two rooms and added a bathroom with running water and a Western toilet.

Renting might have been cheaper in the short term, but I love having a space all our own.</p><p>A meal at a restaurant is usually between $2 for local spots and $7 for Western fare, but cooking at home is much less expensive and often tastier.

I've even obtained the equivalent of permanent residency. With the money I've saved, I hope to travel to other countries, with Hunza as my base.</p>

I left Miami for a remote village in Pakistan. I have no running hot water and limited electricity &mdash; but my quality of life here is infinitely better.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>All beers are either an ale, lager, or hybrid, depending on the yeast and fermentation method used.</li><li>Ales tend to be more robust in flavor, while lagers are known for being crisp and thirst-quenching.</li><li>From lightest to darkest, the most common <keyword id="6359860" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Beer">beer</keyword> styles range from pilsners to stouts.</li></ul><p>Today, there are over 100 distinct styles of beer available for the sipping - from hop-forward IPAs and rich dessert-like stouts to tart sours and crisp, mellow pilsners. Despite the overwhelming selection, however, experts say you only really need to know the core varieties since there's a lot of overlap between them.</p><p>"Many styles borrow from each other, so understanding a handful of styles can help with understanding a wider range," says Savannah Yeager, manager of <a href="https://www.agricolehospitality.com/eight-row-flint" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eight Row Flint</a>, a beer and bourbon bar in Houston, Texas.</p><p>Whether you're an unabashed beer nerd looking to expand your knowledge or you only recently discovered an affinity for suds, here are some essential terms and styles worth getting acquainted with.</p><h2>Lager vs. ale</h2><p>All beers are classified as either an ale, lager, or hybrid. Which category they fall under depends on the type of yeast and fermentation technique used. </p><p>Some yeast strains are bottom-fermenting and some are top-fermenting, and according to Yeager, this refers to where in the fermentation tank the yeast is working. Top-fermenting yeast is used to ferment ales, while bottom-fermenting yeast is used to ferment lagers.</p><p>"Ales are fermented warmer - closer to room temperature - and usually turn around quicker, whereas lagers go through fermentation a little slower at cooler temperatures around 48 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit," says Erik Pizer, head brewer at <a href="https://milkmoneybrewing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milk Money Brewing</a>. "Ales are usually a little fruitier and rounder on the palate due to the esters that are created during fermentation, while lagers are typically cleaner and crisper from the cooler fermentation and longer storage time."</p><p>Hybrid beers combine brewing practices for both lagers and ales - for example, they may use ale yeast at lager temperatures, or vice versa.</p><h2>Terms to know</h2><div type="image" title="A beer brewer adding hops to a tank" height="1414" width="1885" msid="85258547" hostid="261"></div><p>Yeager advises referring to this glossary of essential beer terms when familiarizing yourself with the styles listed below.</p><p><strong>Fermentation:</strong> The chemical process by which yeast breaks down sugars, creating byproducts of carbon dioxide and alcohol</p><p><strong>Refermentation: </strong>A second fermentation during which yeast continues to work on available or newly introduced sugars in another vessel such as a barrel or bottle</p><p><strong>Mash: </strong>The grain and hot water mixture where complex starches are converted into simple sugars</p><p><strong>Wort:</strong> The sugary liquid resulting from the mash to which yeast is added</p><p><strong>Adjuncts: </strong>Supplementary <keyword id="190344" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="ingredients">ingredients</keyword>, such as fruits or grains, added to the mash to alter flavor</p><p><strong>Imperial:</strong> Originally used to describe beer brewed to be shipped to imperial courts, it now indicates that the beer is stronger than usual</p><p><strong>Session:</strong> Beer with a relatively low alcohol by volume (ABV)</p><p><strong>Mouthfeel: </strong>The physical sensation of the beer in the mouth, encompassing body, texture, and carbonation</p><p><strong>Hops: </strong>Flowers from the humulus lupulus plant that are used as a bittering, flavoring, and stability agent in beer. Depending on the type of hops used, they can add flavors and aromas of citrus, pine, herbs, florals, or tropical fruits.</p><p>Here are a handful of the most common beer styles to know, according to Yeager and <a href="https://www.fourseasons.com/denver/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Four Seasons Hotel Denver</a> bar manager, Andy Carroll.</p><h2>Pilsner</h2><div type="image" title="Two pints of pilsner beer on a wooden table" height="1412" width="1883" msid="85258548" hostid="261"></div><p><strong>Type: </strong>Lager</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>4.5% - 5%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Yellow or light gold. Clear, bright.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Low</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Crisp and usually heavier on the hops than other lagers, giving it a slight spice.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>Named for the Bohemian city of Pilsen in the modern-day Czech Republic, the first pilsner was invented by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll in 1842.</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Refreshing and thirst-quenching with high carbonation, this is the perfect summer beer.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://weatheredsouls.beer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weathered Souls Brewing Company Hardwood Classic</a>, <a href="https://www.greenbenchbrewing.com/our-beers/postcard-pilsner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bench Brewing Co.

Clear, bright.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Light to medium</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Refreshing and ultra-drinkable with soft fruity hops, balanced maltiness, and a clean finish.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>Originally produced in Cologne, Germany in the mid-1700s in an attempt to compete with the wildly popular bottom-fermented lagers that were emerging, brewers top-fermented their beer and then conditioned it in cold cellars. </p><p><strong>Description:</strong> Fermented with ale yeast in cold temperatures like a lager, this hybrid style offers the best of both worlds.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://assemblybrewingco.com/contact-free-pickup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assembly Brewing Kölsch</a>, <a href="https://www.oakparkbeer.com/beers/#beers">Oak Park Brewing Krankshaft</a>, <a href="http://www.coastbrewing.com/kolsch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COAST Brewing Co. 32°/50</a></p><h2>Sour</h2><p><strong>Type:</strong> Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>3 - 5%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Light yellow to orange. Slightly cloudy to clear.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Very low</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Light bodied, tart. Fruit is often added during refermentation or bottle conditioning.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>The first sours were brewed in Belgium during the early 18th century, but they weren't widely available in the US until the 1970s.<br /><strong>Description: </strong>Sour beers get their tart, tangy, and sometimes funky quality from wild yeast and bacteria strains, including Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, and a fungus known as Brettanomyces. Lambic sours are usually fruited, while goses incorporate salt and coriander.</p><p><strong>Examples:</strong> <a href="https://crownsandhops.com/collections/beer/products/blue-peach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crown &amp; Hops The Blue Peach</a>, <a href="https://opbrewco.com/portfolio/cherry-pie-pop-kettle-sour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oak Park Brewing Cherry Pie Pop Kettle Sour</a>, <a href="https://lonepinebrewery.com/beers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lone Pine Brewing Company Raspberry Sparkler</a></p><h2>Wheat Beer</h2><div type="image" title="A pint of beer sitting on a wooden fence post with a beautiful rolling mountainside in the background" height="1352" width="1802" msid="85258549" hostid="261"></div><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>4 - 7%</p><p><strong>Appearance:</strong> Pale yellow to straw. Slightly cloudy.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Low</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Medium-light bodied, high carbonation, and creamy with a slight malty sweetness. Citrusy with very little hops and distinctive flavors of banana and clove.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>While wheat beer as it's known today is usually traced back to Bavaria, archaeological finds have suggested that it first appeared at least 6,000 years ago in what is now known as Southern Iraq.</p><p><strong>Description:</strong> This style encompasses any beer that uses at least 50% wheat in the brewing process, such as German hefeweizens and witbiers. Common adjuncts in this category are orange, lemon, and coriander.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://www.harlembrewing.com/renaissance-wit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harlem Brewing Company Renaissance Wit</a>, <a href="https://www.allagash.com/beer/white/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allagash White</a>, <a href="https://www.hopriverbrewing.com/our-beer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hop River Brewing Harrison St. Wheat</a></p><h2>Saison</h2><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>4.4 - 8.4%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Gold to light amber. Slight haze.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Low</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Subtly sweet, often with spicy and fruity characteristics.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>The name comes from the French word for "season," as this beer originated in the French-speaking region of Belgium, where it was brewed during the cooler months and then stored for drinking in the summer.</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Also known as a farmhouse ale, this beer is known for having high levels of carbonation. Specialty ingredients - such as ginger, coriander, and other spices - are often added. Belgian Saisons are sometimes enhanced with a sour mash or certain bacteria to boost the acidity. American Saisons can range significantly and are very much open to interpretation.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://www.urbanrootsbrewing.com/beer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Urban Roots In &amp; Out Of Focus</a>, <a href="https://togo.holymountainbrewing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holy Mountain Brewing Witchfinder</a></p><h2>American Pale Ale</h2><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>5 - 6%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Orange-gold to copper. Clear to slightly cloudy. </p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Medium to high</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Medium-light bodied. Toasted maltiness with citrus, pine, and/or floral hop aromas and bitterness. </p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>As the name suggests, "pale ale" is an English-style beer that looks paler than other ales due to the different way of toasting malt. American Pale Ales began to emerge around 1980 when American hop varieties were added to the already popular pale ale style.</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Thanks to the use of American hops, especially Cascade hops, these pale ales are characterized by a citrusy punch. They feature a more even balance of malts and hops than India Pale Ales (IPAs).</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://soulmega.com/the-beer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soul Mega Worldwide</a>, <a href="http://www.18thstreetbrewery.com/flagship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">18th Street Brewery Candi Crushable</a>, <a href="https://www.unioncraftbrewing.com/beer/duckpin-pale-ale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UNION Craft Brewing Duckpin Pale Ale</a></p><h2>IPA</h2><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>6 - 8%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Gold to chestnut. Typically clear, but cloudiness is present in some.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>High</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Medium-bodied, strong floral and/or tropical fruit flavors from the hops. More bitterness than American Pale Ales.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>English brewers formulated this beer with additional hops, which were known to act as preservatives so that it would survive the journey to British-occupied India in the late 18th century.</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Double (or Imperial) IPAs have a higher ABV (7 - 9%), more hops, and higher levels of bitterness. Session IPAs have a lower ABV while still maintaining strong hop characteristics. New England (or "hazy") IPAs are typically cloudy, juicy, less bitter, and heavy-handed on fruit-forward hops. West Coast IPAs usually incorporate hops with resinous and pine-forward aromas.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://lordhobobrewing.com/beer/boomsauce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lord Hobo Boomsauce</a>, <a href="https://treehousebrew.com/full-beer-directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tree House Brewing Company Haze</a>, <a href="http://www.finbackbrewery.com/ales.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Finback Rolling In The Clouds</a>, <a href="https://cloudburstbrew.com/beers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cloudburst Brewing Cosmic Lust IPA</a></p><h2>Amber</h2><div type="image" title="Two pints of amber ale with a head of foam" height="1500" width="2000" msid="85258550" hostid="261"></div><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>4.5 - 6%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Amber to copper to slightly reddish. Clear.</p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Medium</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Malty sweetness with caramel and nutty notes. Light-medium hop presence. Crisp mouthfeel with medium body.  </p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>This American Pale Ale spinoff was created and popularized in California and the Pacific Northwest during the 1980s when the method of roasting the malt changed, resulting in lighter amber-colored brews,</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Aromatic and easy-drinking, amber ales are well balanced but lean toward being malt forward.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://www.cigarcitybrewing.com/our-beers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cigar City Brewing Tocobaga Red Ale</a>, <a href="https://bearrepublic.com/products/red-rocket-ale%C2%AE?variant=40200705048727" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bear Republic Brewing Company Red Rocket Ale</a></p><h2>Porter</h2><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>5 - 7%</p><p><strong>Appearance: </strong>Dark brown to black. Clear when held up to light. </p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Medium</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>The roasted malts in this style drive the nutty flavor, with notes of coffee, chocolate, and toffee.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>The porter first appeared in the early 1700s - legend has it that a London brewer named Ralph Harwood created it by blending an older and newer brew together in a barrel, thus creating a beer that was affordable but also had depth of flavor. As it became the go-to workingman's pint, it's believed to have been named after the porters who delivered it to the local pubs (and frequently drank it). </p><p><strong>Description: </strong>Roasty and toasty, but not heavy or thick. Many porters are brewed with adjuncts - like coffee, coconut, or cocoa - to enhance the flavor.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://www.trilliumbrewing.com/beers/pot-kettle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trillium Brewing Company Pot &amp; Kettle</a>, <a href="https://funkybuddhabrewery.com/beer/maple-bacon-coffee-porter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Funky Buddha Brewing Maple Bacon Coffee Porter</a>, <a href="https://512brewing.com/menu/512-pecan-porter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(512) Brewing Company Pecan Porter</a></p><h2>Stout</h2><div type="image" title="Two pints of stout beer next to a bowl of pretzels" height="1412" width="1883" msid="85258551" hostid="261"></div><p><strong>Type: </strong>Ale</p><p><strong>ABV: </strong>5.5 - 8%</p><p><strong>Appearance:</strong> Very dark brown to black. Opaque. </p><p><strong>Bitterness: </strong>Medium to high</p><p><strong>Taste: </strong>Similar roasty notes as a porter but with a creamier mouthfeel and fuller body. Very low hop flavor, if any.</p><p><strong>Origin: </strong>Stouts began as "stout porters" - porters brewed with less water to make them stronger, maltier, and darker. When black malt became available in the early 1800s, brewers swapped it in for brown malt to create a drier beer with a richer taste and smoother mouthfeel.</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>With intense flavors of chocolate and toasted nuts, stouts are a popular cold-weather beer. Many stouts are aged in barrels that previously contained whiskey or bourbon, lending dessert-like notes of vanilla, oak, and spice. Others are brewed with adjuncts, such as oatmeal stouts. Imperial stouts have an elevated ABV (9%+), and milk stouts are sweeter and creamier due to the inclusion of lactose in the brewing process.</p><p><strong>Examples: </strong><a href="https://www.mainebeercompany.com/mean-old-tom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maine Beer Company Mean Old Tom</a>, <a href="https://www.montclairbrewery.com/tap-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Montclair Brewery Jamaican Me Crazy</a>, <a href="https://fatorangecatbrewco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fat Orange Cat Brew Co. All Cats Are Gray In The Dark</a></p><h2>Insider's takeaway</h2><p>The mouthfeel, alcohol content, appearance, and flavor of a beer can vary vastly within each style depending on the brewer's methods and chosen ingredients. Still, knowing whether a beer is an ale, lager, or hybrid can tell you a lot about its characteristics.</p><p>Those who prefer lighter, crisper brews may appreciate pilsners and wheat beers, while fans of darker and richer suds may gravitate toward porters and stouts. Spicy Saisons, malt-forward amber ales, and hoppy pale ales all fall somewhere in between.</p><a data-type="5eac5daf3dac9a175f6b4b32">The best places to buy beer online, from local delivery services to monthly subscriptions</a><a data-type="6042572ddaf40c54e4376964">A beginner's guide to nonalcoholic beer</a><a data-type="605a329ef952ef42ce0ab151">5 healthier alcoholic drinks to have instead of beer and sugary cocktails</a><a data-type="61097986ef8e7903c8610394">How to make a Manhattan and all its variations</a>
