Adjuncts
& Flavorings |

Fruits and spices are
key ingredients in some beer styles. While fruit
beers and herb beers are often listed as style
categories unto themselves, fruits and spices
are sometimes used to contribute to the flavour
and aroma profile of other styles. Vegetables
have also been used in beers. Honey, molasses,
candy sugar, or other fermentable sugars may be
added to impart their distinct flavours to a
beer. While not an ingredient per se, some
brewers have experimented with aging their beer
in barrels previously used for bourbon or other
distilled spirits, imparting the flavour of both
the wood and the spirit to the beer.
A
number of traditional beer styles are brewed
with spices. For example, Belgian witbier is
brewed with coriander, Finnish sahti is brewed
with juniper berries, and traditional beers in
Britain are brewed with honey and spices. Also,
some strong winter beers are flavoured with
nutmeg and/or cinnamon, while ginger is a
popular flavouring for a range of beers. Many
commercially available pumpkin ales are made
with pumpkin pie spices without any actual
pumpkin. Spices may be added to the wort
during the boil or spices or spice extract may
be added at any time during fermentation
depending on desired results. Spices used in
brewing include:
Allspice
Anise
Cinnamon
Clove
Coriander
Ginger
Hot
pepper
Juniper berries or
boughs
Licorice
Nutmeg
Orange or Lemon
peel
Spruce needles or twigs
(see spruce beer)
Yarrow Other, less common
flavourings include chocolate, coffee, milk,
chile peppers and even oysters.
Fruits
have been used as a beer adjunct or flavouring
for centuries, especially with Belgian lambic
styles. Cherry, raspberry, and peach are a
common addition to this style of beer. Modern
breweries may add only flavoured extracts to the
finished product, rather than actually
fermenting the fruit.
Contemporary
breweries produce beers flavoured with tequila
from blue agave nectar, a
tequila-flavoured beer popular among German and
French youth, and pumpkin-flavored beers brewed
seasonally in the autumn in North America.
Chile pepper is used to flavor pale lagers.
One of the most popular American chile beers is
produced in Taos, New Mexico; made with New
Mexico roasted green chiles. And a brewery
in Arizona features the only internationally
marketed chile beer.
Sahti - from Finland; a
distincly 'banana' tlavor, due to the
yeast

Greetings!
Seasonal merchandising of
flavors leads us also to thoughts
of beers, brews and ales - crisp, light,
refreshing, and euro styled individual hand
crafted brews with hints of flavor from the old
world like honey, orange, citrus and the
unique ideas of taverns and brewpubs that
serve hand
crafted, custom batch Flavored
Ales! KegTrader now offers brews from many
of the leading brewers in the largest, fastest
growing region of Brewers Guilds in North
America, by their brand and special flavors...
or we can Private Label for your Special
dine-in restaurant or chain
brand!
KegTrader knows the
trend, and we have an entire history of brewers'
flavors and adjuncts most used as fruits, herbs
and spices; Blueberry, Raspberry,
Marshmallow...
Because we
have flavors that stem from a 37 year history in
research on every flavor, from the leisure
destination, amusement park and candy store
markets, we know the flavor trends by
culture, for your best beer and Ale service and
sales.
As delivered right
from the case, six pack, bottle, Keg or
Bottle... we have the flavored ales that go
beyond just basically affording a
slight color hue, perhaps a sweetness or essense
from an extract. Our ales and smal batch beers
for our
reselling clients feature so much
more niche and nuance of flavor, an attribute life
experience, rather than just being
"sweet" or more "essenced".. as the one
time flavor contribution one off.

Award Winning Flavors
since
1984
Having served
all of the clients in foods, fun foods, fair
foods, beverages, food and beverage service
equipment manufacturers, I heard the mission
statement, the specs, the pitch and the
comparable from each and every one. Then I met
Al Weist.
Al had come
from an ingenious family background and lineage
of German Pastry Bakers... his mother, his
mother's mother.. four generations in fact of
stealth 'in the blood' genetic knowledge of
fruits, flavors, spices, additives,
stabilizers and more.
Al had created the first syrup, due to its
unique patent formula blending, that actually
flowed into and suspended into the cut of the
shave ice crystal - yielding a fluffy, tender,
instant frozen concoction texture, that would
eat like a sherbet - yet could only be described
much like a frozen cotton candy... that then
collapsed and disappeared in the mouth with
instant cooling freshness, but featured a
solid, highly defined frozen dessert taste all
the way down to the last
bite.
Understanding his genius, creating the first
Gourmet Shave Ice Syrups, we became fast pals
and a great team. We used to talk about what
typical concessionaires, snack bars and
restaurants would serve up as
"Strawberry". We'd say "That AIN'T
Strawberry! - That's.... just RED!"
We promoted over 327
flavors, bang dead-on the money.
Disney Parks was amazed, and started the
line. As did Busch Parks... at the time
obviously owned by Anheuser-Busch.
Winning numerous Awards,
and conspiring to move into
flavored waters, coffee syrups, for years
we've enlisted a hunt for wineries and
breweries, knowing that our famous taste
and formulas would leap upon the springboard for
flavored wine coolers and of course, Flavored
Beers and Ales.
Making two
small changes to the formulas for options
on secondary or post batch, and now located
in the heart of the fastest growing region
in America for Craft Brews and Microbreweries,
we're pleased to represent the finest of
flavored and award winning micro brew ales and
beer beverage for export sale. Whether
you're importing one of our fine partner
Microbrew label brand ales or having us Private
Label the brew for your brand named restaurants
and stores, contact KEG Distribution for
the finest, "most
favored" Flavored Ales; for
export or large fast food chain tavern /
pub chain orders.
