Introduces the Beer Lover's Guide to Europe
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) - While Irish beers might be taking center stage this week, the whole of Europe is a brew lover's delight. With more than 2300 breweries, the continent offers an endless array of beer styles and flavors. To help travelers drink like a local, even if they are just passing through an airport, Cheapflights.com, the online leader in finding and publishing travel deals, offers the Beer Lover's Guide to Europe.
"Travel is about expanding our horizons and, often, our palettes," said Andrea Mooney, site editor for Cheapflights.com. "As you travel around Europe, you can find a diversity and complexity of beer options, particularly if you are armed with a little history and insider information. Our beer guide makes it easy to find and order a local beer that suits your tastes and gives you the real flavor of a region, even if you are only there for a 45-minute layover."
Cheapflights' Beer Lover's Guide to Europe breaks down the beers of six countries: Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom (including Scotland) and Spain. After a quick introduction to beer landscape of a country, the guide dives into the brews to look out for and even regional specialities.
Here's a sample to help those heading to Ireland to celebrate St Patrick's Day:
Irish Beer: Traditionally, until well into the 18th century, Ireland only brewed ales with no hops as hops aren't native to Ireland until stouts, which are dark malty beers, overtook ales in popularity. The most universally famous is the unique tasting black stout invented by Arthur Guinness in 1778 in Dublin. More recently, lagers have dented the market dominance of Guinness, and Harp Lager, brewed in Dundalk, is sure to available at the airport.
