As you know, the aristocrats were the greatest connoisseurs of alcoholic beverages. After all, only they could afford to try a sufficient number of them to make a conclusion for themselves which drink is preferable and in what situations. At the secular evenings hosted by Nicholas II, as in any rich house, there was a bar where there were bottles with a wide variety of drinks. But at the balls there was always a table with treats (light sandwiches) and vases with alcoholic cocktails.

Nicholas II learned to drink cocktails on one of his trips abroad and sometimes did not even hesitate to personally prepare one of them, and this cocktail always included beer. The emperor consumed this rather weakly alcoholic drink in small doses, since in high society there was an opinion that beer was a drink for less noble people and workers.

But nevertheless, many representatives of the wealthy class allowed themselves a similar weakness: drinking a mug of chilled beer is still better than water or coffee. It is nicer and you get drunk less quickly from it than from wine. For this reason, beer gradually began to occupy an important place in the preparation of the "signature" cocktail of Nicholas II, because almost everyone drank them at evenings, and in this situation it was not necessary to inform some people that the zest of the cocktail they drank is in the beer it contains. Moreover, besides the emperor, only a few people knew the recipe. Subsequently, beer became an increasingly popular drink not only among men, but among women, who were able to appreciate all its advantages.

After one of the battles, Wellington could not deny himself such a little as a glass of beer. But he preferred to drink this drink from a mug specially designed for this. And each time, sipping beer, the commander remembered how much time, effort and money he had spent to finally get this miracle - a mug in which the frothy beer became even tastier. And if you also get a suitable snack, then a holiday for the soul is guaranteed.

In history, there is a mention of how one glass of beer almost became decisive in the fate of the famous English naval commander, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson.

When Nelson was in command of the Albermarle, he nearly lost his life. The ship was about to leave Quebec and was already at anchor in the harbor. Nelson's friend, Alexander Davison, walking along the shore, to his surprise saw that Nelson, who, in theory, should have already been on the high seas, had just disembarked from the boat. Davison asked what the matter was, and Nelson, slightly embarrassed, replied that he would not leave Quebec until he drank beer from a mug given to him in 1800 during the victory over the French fleet by the admiral of the French flotilla. The mug was exquisite: cast from glass, it resembled a beer keg in shape, with a beautiful curved handle, embossed walls, which depicted the sea and several ships.

- If you do it, - the friend answered in horror - you are lost.

Davison knew that English bars were full of people who disrespected English people using French subjects.

Nelson disobeyed his friend's advice and headed to the nearest bar. The bartender, pouring beer into Nelson's mug, discreetly poured poison into it. The admiral drank his beer and headed for the exit. An hour later, "Albermarle" was already on the high seas. At first, Nelson did not understand why he was feeling so bad, every minute he was getting worse. If not for Davison, who came to the rescue in time, the life of the brilliant Admiral Nelson would have ended there.

In honor of the victory in one of the most important battles, Suvorov was invited to a party at the palace of Empress Catherine. During the feast, he especially liked the beef dish with a side dish, the name of which he did not know, but the taste of this culinary miracle impressed him. At the table, conversations were held not only about the outlined prospects for the victory of the Russians in the war, but also on other, more peaceful and pleasant topics. But as soon as the rules of etiquette allowed, Suvorov paid tribute to the Empress and left the hall.

Walking down the corridor with the intention of leaving the building and going home to rest, he met several people dressed as servants. To his logical question: "Do you need something?" he was told that they wanted to see the greatest man in the country. So an easy conversation ensued, during which Suvorov discovered that among these people there was a cook and it was his dish that he liked so much. Suvorov did not fail to take advantage of this opportunity and, deciding to find out the secret of this dish, asked the cook for a recipe for its preparation.

Everyone knows how reluctant the chefs are to discover their own secrets of cooking, but in this case the culinary genius could not resist and said that all that was needed was to add a certain amount of beer to the garnish. Indifferent to food up to this point, Suvorov first ordered the chef to cook beef according to his signature recipe and add beer. But, in order not to reveal the trusted secret, Suvorov personally bought a bottle of the required beer. Since then, the great commander Suvorov has repeatedly tasted this culinary miracle and every time he thanked the cook, who revealed his culinary secret to him. But at the same time, I did not forget about the beer itself, because not only can you use it in food, you can also drink a mug. Beer is good both as a drink and as a component of the culinary arts.

Traveling around Europe, Peter I was very homesick for truly Russian beer with a slightly different taste. But this did not prevent him from enjoying a foreign drink from time to time. Once, there was no snack at hand, except for nuts, which Peter received recently as a gift from an Italian. He had to eat nuts on beer. Surprisingly, such an appetizer went well with beer, and since then, even in Russia with nothing but toasted nuts, he did not drink beer.

The general perception that people have different tastes can be attributed to beer as well. After all, it is not for nothing that every person drinks this alcoholic drink with one and not another snack. It is known such a fact that the famous navigator Columbus preferred in this case an appetizer made from fish. This is not at all surprising and quite natural, given his love for the sea. But of all fish appetizers, he preferred the sweetish carp meat most of all.

The daughter of the famous writer Margot Hemingway loved all types of dark beer, but especially porter. Even before the beginning of her career as a top model, at a party with her friend Margot was sitting and savoring porter, when suddenly a young man came up to her and said: “You drink beer so beautifully, and I love you for a long time ...”. Then Hemingway always recalled this incident with a smile. But in the future, due to the strict requirements of the diet, Margot very rarely indulged herself with her favorite drink.

American actor Clark Gable sometimes liked to sit at the bar with a jar of his favorite ale. Clarke once told the press that the first thought about the opportunity to act in films flashed in his head when he was in his youth sitting in a bar and drinking this very ale. He believed that he owed a little to this drink for his popularity and film career.

A very funny incident happened once with the famous singer Edith Piaf. It happened before Christmas. On the eve of the holiday, Edith grabbed a bottle of her favorite porter, known as the finest Irish beer, on her way home. But she did not succeed in drinking beer, comfortably sitting at home in front of the fireplace, since she had to use the bottle as a means of protection. Arriving at her house, Piaf noticed a suspicious type at the garage gate who was trying to enter the room. Sneaking up to him, the singer was not taken aback, hit him on the head and called the police.

Alexander Dumas the father was a great gourmet. Once in a restaurant, when he was celebrating his friend's birthday in a large company, he was served a dish that the writer had not yet tasted. It was unusual in taste and color, but also contained pieces of boiled crayfish, rice and some fried onions. Dumas liked the food very much, and he asked the garcon who was running by:
- What is this divine dish?
Bowing, the garcon answered with a smile:
- Beer soup, monsieur.

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, a singer of Russian "noble nests" and "superfluous people", once hosted his admirer, the daughter of a German fish merchant. She brought him a bouquet of white roses and a basket, the contents of which remained a mystery to Ivan Sergeyevich, because the young lady had left it in the hallway. When the writer saw off his admirer, he secretly looked inside, fearing a catch. He saw several bottles of an amazing, as Turgenev later found out, dark beer and two sturgeons.

Leo Tolstoy, although he preached a correct way of life, loved to drink a mug or two of light beer at dinner, combining it with dried roach. His secretary somehow sarcastically asked:
- How can you drink beer with your convictions?
Looking from under his eyebrows, the writer replied:
- They say about me that all my life I was a fox, and pretended to be a hedgehog. Let this statement at least slightly correspond to the truth.

The beneficial properties of beer can sometimes determine fate. As you know, Bruce Lee, a famous actor and martial artist, grew up as an extremely sickly and frail boy. In addition to traditional milk, Chinese doctors recommended that he drink beer. The results were not long in coming.

Mario Lanza, the great tenor, was a big beer lover. During his life, he drank a considerable amount of this divine drink. Moreover, like all Italians, he loved to seize him with real Italian pizza. Such a "diet" contributed to the increase in weight, but the singer was not at all embarrassed, since being overweight contributes to better sounding of the voice and its greater power.

Everyone knows that the great Russian Tsar Peter I was very fond of sitting with the Germans over a glass of good and good beer. Therefore, Peter eagerly went to visit the Germans, especially since it was the Germans who were always considered the best brewers. And when Peter was going to Germany, he always took gifts with him. And the Germans, in turn, treated the great sovereign to real German beer.

Once, during the next such gathering, a very funny story happened. One sly German asked a question to the Russian sovereign, clearly intending to test him for quick wits: they say, why the foam in mugs with beer is different in height, someone has less, but you have more.

To this, Peter, taking a sip of beer, calmly gave such an answer, from which the Germans clutched their bellies with laughter. This is what our sovereign said: "The height of the foam in my mug shows how much more beer you will pour me next time." The Germans burst out laughing together and sent the servant into the cellar for another keg of fresh beer.

The Austrian Habsburgs, the famous dynasty of archdukes, and later Austrian emperors, did not neglect, among their great state concerns, such a seemingly simple and ignoble business as brewing. In their estates, the breweries produced a variety of beers. Some of the finest beer was even delivered to the Viennese court.

Beer, one of the oldest drinks of mankind, besides many useful qualities, also has antiseptic properties. This was discovered by the German microbiologist, Nobel laureate Robert Koch. The great researcher proved that bacilli die in beer in a few hours. Czech professors, Koch's colleagues, Glava and Thomaer, generally saw beer as a cure for cholera. It is not for nothing that the devastating cholera epidemics in Europe almost did not affect medieval brewers.

The great German healer of the 16th century, Paracelsus, a naturalist and chemist who made an invaluable contribution to the development of medicine, experimentally discovered the wonderful qualities of beer. Experimenting, he created beers infused with herbs, and investigated their effect on the human body in various diseases. Paracelsus treated liver diseases with fern beer, and upper respiratory tract diseases with sage beer.

In the stagnant Soviet times, the quality and type of beer depended on many conditions. Once our well-known writer Venedikt Erofeev, still a young and promising author, was late for the Moscow-Leningrad train and popped into the restaurant car almost on the way. Having bought a ticket from the head of the train, he stayed in this restaurant car and after a while heard in the office room how the barmaid was persuading someone: "Yes, he's good, he's good, you'll see - he's good!" As it turned out, it was about him, about a random passenger. At the next station, several crates of beer were brought in, all the doors were closed, and the entire staff of the restaurant was busy putting the bottles in a vat of water, peeling off the old labels and gluing on new ones. The old prices were 28 kopecks, and the new ones were 36 kopecks. And, according to Erofeev, in order to prove that "he is good" and will not betray the participants in the illegal operation, he did it together with everyone.

The great German Otto von Bismarck, the first Reich Chancellor to unite Germany, was a great connoisseur and lover of beer. There was a small brewery on his estate in southern Germany. The renowned politician and statesman, being there from time to time, sipped his own fine beer with pleasure.

Edward IV, the first of England's York dynasty kings, was no stranger to the art of brewing. He was very fond of the famous English beer, or, as the English call it, ale. During his reign, despite the ongoing war of the Scarlet and White Rose, brewing production began to develop especially intensively and bring considerable income to the royal treasury. It was in those distant times that the wonderful English traditions of brewing and consuming this drink were born, which exist to this day.

Despite the fact that almost every adult has tried beer at least once in his life, and many drink it regularly, we do not know much about this popular alcoholic drink. Next, we propose to expand your own a little, learning interesting facts about him, which will come in handy in the company of friends.

Beer and facial hair

Thick facial hair can make it difficult to drink beer. It can also be used to brew beer. A brewer in Oregon actually discovered a way to make a frothy drink from yeast harvested from his own beard. While this may sound pretty nasty, it works. After all, most of the world's yeast is harvested for fermentation from rotting rocks. Why can't they ferment in a beard?

Lather on top of the glass is discouraged by many beer drinkers as it complicates the drinking process and looks unappetizing for some people. However, foam is a very important part of the beer. The frothy "head", as it is called, is formed from a complex reaction of carbon dioxide and has a lot to say about the quality of a beer. Many famous beers, including Guinness, have a thick head. Its absence may mean that the beer is probably stale and tasteless. The “Holy Grail” of foam enthusiasts is the so-called “Brussels lace” - the perfect foam that does not settle and forms a lace pattern in the glass after it is empty.

Marijuana and beer

Not many people know that marijuana and beer are actually quite close cousins. The flavor in beer, hops, is a member of the hemp family, which (as the name suggests) also includes hemp. Although they are plants from the same family, they share many genetic properties.

Dead animals and beer

Taxidermy is definitely one of the few things not associated with beer at all. At least that's what most people think. But the British brewery BrewDog clearly disagrees and released the strongest beer in the world at 55 percent in 2011. And its main feature was that each bottle of the drink, which was called "The End of History", was placed inside a stuffed animal (the cork was sticking out of its mouth).

The oldest beer in the world

While there is a lot of information about beer drinking throughout history, real recipes for ancient beer are hard to find. In 2010, the remains of a shipwreck were found near Finland. A real treasure was found in the hold of the ship - the oldest drinkable beer in the world. It tasted like burnt cork and had a sour taste (the latter was attributed to the fermentation process, and the actual taste is supposed to be much more palatable). Now they are going to start producing a new brand of beer according to this ancient recipe.

Michael Jackson and beer

When discussing Michael Jackson, most beer drinkers don't mean the king of pop at all. They talk about the British Michael Jackson (1942-2007), a scientist who researched beer and came up with new recipes. Jackson (who earned the nickname "The Beer Hunter") was a writer and journalist who singlehandedly saved beer from oblivion in the late 1970s (beer was considered the disgusting drink of the poor at the time). Jackson, on the other hand, always thought that beer is an important component of culture and without his research, the modern world of alcohol would be completely different.

Water and beer

While water is generally quite tasteless, it is actually a very important factor in the flavor of a beer. After all, the main ingredient in beer is precisely water and no ingredients will save the beer if it was brewed with low-quality water. Throughout history, many brewers have established their brews exactly where quality water was available.

Pyramids and beer

In ancient Egypt, there were so many bacteria in the water of the Nile that the locals often drank beer instead of water. This came in handy during the massive construction of the Egyptians. When the pyramids of Giza were erected, workers were partially paid with beer. They were kept constantly lightly drunk, serving beer three times a day. Without this, the workers would surely have rebelled.

Peruvian saliva beer

Chicha is a traditional Peruvian corn beer that is said to have been brewed back in the Inca era. Its secret ingredient was extremely strange - it was saliva. There are many strange bacteria and enzymes in the human mouth. Some of them can actually replace the brewing process. This means that the fermentation process of corn can be activated by chewing it, moistening it in the mouth, and then spitting it out into the beer mix.

The best beer in the world

Beers are extremely difficult to rank. After all, this is purely a matter of taste and some people like one beer, others - a completely different variety. However, when it comes to picking the absolute best beer in the entire world, all beer lovers agree - Westvleteren 12. It is a 10.2% dark beer with a sophisticated, chocolate flavor. And it is produced by a monastery in Belgium.

Five of Christians' most famous frothy drinkers

Christians have a tough relationship with beer. In recent decades, "evangelical camps" have become more inclined to completely abandon alcohol, sometimes equating drinking with sinful behavior. However, the beer theme is slowly making a comeback as a new generation of believers, many of whom grew up in teetotal families, establish their own rules in churches.

Abstinence from alcohol was not always the norm in Christian communities (ultimately, the first miracle of our Lord was the transformation of water into wine). For centuries, alcohol, and especially carefully brewed beer, has been a big part of life for even the most devout believers.

From brewers to regular pub patrons, here are five of the most famous foam drinkers who called themselves Christians.

Arthur Guinness - beer tycoon

The man behind one of the most famous strong beer brands was a staunch Christian. Passionate about preaching John Wesley, Arthur Guinness decided to turn his brewery and brand into a force for good. As Stephen Mansfield recounts in his book The Search for God and Guinness, a beer tycoon whose drink became a safe alternative to the strong liquor prevalent at the time in England and Ireland, founded the first Sunday schools in the Kingdom and donated colossal sums to help the poor.

The Guinness family also adhered to Christian ethics in business. The workers were paid well, there were various employee benefits, and a lot of money went to charity. During World War II, breweries operated around the clock to ensure that every English soldier had a bottle of Guinness to his table on Christmas night.

Martin Luther: the brewer

The father of the Reformation was known as an avid beer drinker. Sharp-tongued reformer turned out to be a rather expressive writer, so his love for beer, especially brewed by his wife, often slipped through his letters.

When two of his friends graduated from theology school, Luther threw a real party, asking the invitees to bring food, because “we do not rely on beer, which my wife Katie made a fair amount, putting in as much malt as I liked. She hopes you like it when you try it. " Sounds almost like a whole speech.

During one of his trips, Luther wrote to his talented wife in brewing: “It would be nice if you could send me the entire arsenal of my winery and a bottle of your beer. Otherwise, I won't come back until you cook a new one. " His love for beer was evident even in theology. It is Luther who is credited with the words: “Whoever drinks beer falls asleep quickly. While he sleeps, he does not sin. He who does not sin will go to paradise. So let's drink beer! "

Trappist Monks: The World's Best Brewers

For centuries, the Order of the Cistercian Monks of Strict Observance has been known not only for quiet contemplation and dedication to God. They are also renowned worldwide for producing the finest beers. In order to raise funds for the maintenance of the monasteries, some of the monasteries began brewing renowned brands of beer, the recipes of which had been perfected over the centuries.

There are already legends about Westvleren 12, produced in a Belgian abbey: it is produced in very limited quantities, and it is almost impossible to find it. But everyone who has tried it at least once calls it the best beer in the world. Monks, whose principles are contrary to the desire for profit, sell beer for as little as $ 2, but if you find it anywhere in the online store for $ 50, you can consider yourself lucky.

Samuel Adams: Patriotic Malt

Like many other founding fathers of the United States, Samuel Adams eagerly talked about his faith and often referred to Christian virtue. When he became governor of Massachusetts, he announced the establishment of the Day of public fasting, humility and prayer: “Through true repentance and repentance of the heart, we pray for the forgiveness of sins by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, expecting from the Heavenly Father His grace to help us correct our hearts and lives, may He look it is good for us. " One of the last words of Adams were: "First of all and most importantly, I give my soul to the Almighty Creator, who gave it to me, and let my body take the dust, and I hope for what Christ did for the forgiveness of my sins."

But, perhaps, in addition to the fact that he was a believing founding father of the United States, we know about another of his achievements: beer. The Sam Adams Boston Company, one of the largest beer corporations in the United States, is named after a great family known for their involvement in the development of the beer industry in the New World. Like his father, Adams grew malt for the brewery. An ad, which could be read in Boston newspapers in 1751, addressed small breweries that were offered malt at very competitive prices. Fortunately, Adams turned out to be a talented politician. His beer business went bankrupt shortly after he took over from his father.

Clive Lewis: Bar Goer

The man who wrote the most popular works in the Christian environment found inspiration in the most unexpected place: in a pub. Whether it was a gathering of Inklings (a group of writers in Oxford that also included Tolkien) or just a friendly dinner, Lewis was a regular at the bars. Lewis was also not particularly flattering about legalism in Christianity when it came to practical faith. He wrote: “I am, however, ready to strongly protest against the tyranny and unbiblical isolation of everything that calls itself the Church and declares sobriety to be a prerequisite for membership. Don't they know that Christianity grew up in the Mediterranean, where wine is as much a part of the daily diet as bread? " Lewis acknowledged that some Christians may have good reasons for abstaining from alcohol ("either he is a person who cannot drink wine without getting drunk, or he lives among people prone to drunkenness and does not want to provoke them into vice"), which is actually good. However, he believed that personal convictions could not be blindly implanted on all other followers of Christ.

About beer etiquette Beer should be handled with care, according to the rules. Rinse glasses with cold water before use. "Pouring" and "sucking foam" are things that require high skill.

About beer etiquette

Beer should be handled with care, according to the rules. Rinse glasses with cold water before use. "Pouring" and "sucking foam" are things that require high skill. First, the glass is quickly filled up to half at an angle, and then the beer is slowly poured from a height of about three centimeters into a vertically standing vessel - until a frothy head is formed. By the way, here's a simple beer quality test: the foam should be 4 centimeters high and last for at least 4 minutes. The shape for the beer content is continually being refined. So, it is customary to drink Pilsner from tulip-shaped glasses (300-500 ml), Alt and Koelsh - from small thin cylindrical glasses (200 ml), Weisse - from large cups or very tall half-liter glasses, shaped like a pipe, and Bavarian Pale - from huge liter mugs.
Bari Alibasov: - In moderate quantities, beer is good for health: after all, it even contains vitamins. I love beer. Once he even abused it, especially in the company of "Nanai" who are not indifferent to him. And now I'm not a fan anymore. And America is to blame for this. Having been there, I became a supporter of a healthy lifestyle. The beer belly is not for me.
Valery Syutkin:
- During my school years, I leaned on beer much more. But even now I respect him. I enjoy drinking a glass of beer with spices, say, Japanese cuisine. Whatever you say, beer increases the tone of the body, stimulates blood circulation, and brewer's yeast is, in principle, beneficial to health. On this score, there are many theories: for example, that beer can heal a sick stomach. It is bad when, referring to the wonderful qualities of this drink, they drink it in bulk. And so, little by little - everything is in joy.
Margot, Strelka group: - There is food that does not go well with any other drinks except beer. For example, Mexican food. The full taste of all these "fajitos" etc. it opens harmoniously only with beer. Of course, we take beer with such food. Interestingly, doctors sometimes even advise drinking it. But we don't do beer therapy. And that the so-called beer belly grows from beer is complete nonsense. People who have metabolic problems get better from it. In a normal way of life, beer does not affect the figure at all.
At one time, Hera and I even tried to wash our hair with beer - for greater fluffiness. But we did not notice much difference, so we still take it inside, especially light varieties. True, in England or in Germany this is more difficult: porters (dark beer) are in use there.
Valery Leontiev: - You can't call me a beer fan, but I love beer, especially Russian. Once I even arranged a beer party with my friends: I drove into a supermarket and bought almost all the beer in the world - by bottle. The festival, which resulted in the best New Zealand beer, a certain type of Mexican, and ours - mostly classic brands, lasted for several days. White varieties are especially good. Not to say that he was drinking beer so regularly, but, as a rule, a bottle or two in the refrigerator are in store - just in case. I have heard a lot about the medicinal properties of "liquid amber", but I like beer as such, its taste.
