I initially thought there might be some underlying meaning behind the brand name XXXX. But after having a tour in the XXXX brewery in Milton, the spokeperson clarified that, there was nothing behind it.
The beer making process was not very interesting, but I did manage to hold on to two things.
1. Beer was used as a type of distilled water during the nineteenth century when much of the major European cities' water sources were polluted.
2. The four main ingredients to make beer are barley, hops, yeast and water. Sugar is extracted from the barley, hops are added for bitterness, then yeast goes to work and converts much of the sugars into alcohol. While these are the building blocks, many breweries and home brewers add extras to make subtle, or not-so-subtle, changes to their beers.
