Enjoy a flight of beer with these few tips and tricks.

There is an art to drinking beer, especially when it comes to beer flights. First things first, you may be asking yourself “what is a beer flight?” A beer flight is a selection of various types of beer usually served as small portions, between 3 to 5 ounces. Flights of beer are popular in breweries, as they allow customers to try several different specialty beers without buying and drinking a full pint of beer each. Flights provide a unique tasting experience. They’re fun, adventurous and a great way to explore beers at breweries with a range of beer to choose from. Of course, there is a technique for picking beer flights and drinking them. It’s all about the choice of beer and the order in which the beer is consumed.

Picking the Flight

It’s good to choose a flight of beer that is made up of a variety of beers. A selection of beers ranging from light and refreshing flavors to dark, heavier flavors will add adventure and depth to the flight. This vast selection of beers will take your taste buds on a wild ride through the brewing and crafting process of the beer. Obviously, stick to what you know you like but don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to try something new. Ask the brewers questions and get to know the story behind the beer. Brewers may have recommendations for choosing flights so if it’s a good time, pick their brain. Remember, ordering a flight of beer is about the experience. It’s supposed to be a fun and enjoyable journey that challenges your taste buds.


Drinking the Flight

It may sound odd or funny, but there is an art to drinking beer. When it comes to a flight of beer, it’s wise to drink your beers from light to dark, rather than dark to light, because the flavor of the beer will be most appreciated and enjoyed that way. You may be tempted to chug your flight but try not to. The point of a flight is to sip the beer and take note of its flavors. Doing so will make the overall experience much more interesting, valuable and interactive with the people you are with. Lastly, pace yourself. Although a flight of beer is small portions of beer they can definitely catch up to you. Sit back, enjoy the beer experience and have a good time!
