- Kentucky_Common_Beer abstract "Kentucky Common Beer is a once-popular style of ale from the area in and around Louisville, Kentucky, that is rarely brewed commercially today. It is a distinct beer style that originated in Louisville and was popular in the area from the 1850s until Prohibition. Along with California Common Beer, it is one of only two types of beer that are known to have originated in the US. Locally known as Dark Cream Common Beer, Cream Beer or Common Beer. Like cream ale, it was consumed fresh, usually as draft beer. In 1913 it was estimated that 80% of the beer consumed in Louisville was of this type. Many local breweries made this style of beer exclusively.It was usually made with barley, approximately 25 to 30 percent corn, and a percentage of rye with some artificial coloring, caramel, or roasted malt to give it a dark color. It had an original gravity of 1.040-1.050, an average bitterness of 27 IBU. Brewers basically inverted a bourbon grain bill, conducted a sour mash (similar to bourbon) and instead of distilling the mash, they ran off the sweet (and sour) wort and boiled it with hops. When cooled, brewers yeast was pitched and within a few weeks they had a very interesting beer style. When made properly, the beer is an easy-drinking, slightly sour brown ale. Before modern refrigeration, most breweries depended on ice stored from the previous winter for producing beer. The Louisville area usually did not have the weather conditions to produce enough ice for this. With an influx of European immigrants into Louisville during the mid 19th century, there was an increased demand for beer in the area. Common Beer was fermented at higher temperatures like an ale, but was aged for a very short period of time (only to reduce carbonation) if at all before being consumed, thus eliminating any need to keep it cool. Incidentally, this kept overhead costs down and made it an inexpensive to purchase, so it was very popular among working-class people. There is some evidence that partial sour mashes were used to lighten the body.".
