Hey everyone, I thought it would be fun to intersperse a new series into my beer adventures. So starting this month I'll be occasionally consulting a beer dictionary and throwing an entry in here. So that way you and I can build our beer vocabulary!
Entry 1:
IMPERIAL (Style)
Definition: Basically this word used to be the name given to beers that were imported to England from the Russian Empire. They could be any kind of beer. So it was more of a seal of quality than an actual beer designation.
So what about today? What does the name mean? Well now many times when you read Imperial it is referring to a higher alcohol content (ABV) or the taste might be strong. Many times it is used interchangeably with double.
