Running Hot + Cold.

Temperature plays a significant role in the production and enjoyment of beer. From the weather that affects the growth of ingredients to the brewing process and the climate in which it is consumed, temperature influences every aspect of beer. Heat is used to manipulate ingredients, such as reducing moisture in hops and creating different flavors in malt. Temperature also affects the fermentation process, with yeast operating more efficiently at higher temperatures. Additionally, the temperature at which beer is stored and consumed impacts its freshness and carbonation. Refrigeration has become common, but in the past, people made efforts to keep beer cool, as warmer temperatures result in lower carbonation levels. Different seasons and temperatures also influence the types of beers that are traditionally enjoyed, with darker, richer beers being favored in the fall and winter. Overall, temperature is a crucial factor in the production, preservation, and enjoyment of beer. [Extracted from the article]
