Making beer is like making music
I don’t claim to have anywhere near the talent that musicians have however I think that the analogy holds. When listening to music I think its the small subtleties that make a song what it is. Its not always the hard driving guitar that makes the music but rather what it is you hear in the background. Or the combination of all the instruments being played together at the right times. Or sometimes it is just that guitar hitting you in the face. Man sometimes that it.
Beer is similar. Sometimes its about laying flavors, the crystals, munich’s, the base malts. Its about that that subtle hit of coriander in the background of the wit. It about the balance between the hops and malt. And yes sometimes it about getting smacked in the face with the hops.
In both cases making music and beer isnt hard. Making good Music and Beer is difficult.
