There was a time when adjuncts in beer were considered taboo. Adjuncts\u2014anything included in beer beyond the traditional four ingredients of malt, hops, water and yeast\u2014were snubbed by many beer lovers. As a result, brewers avoided mentioning them as ingredients.<\/p>\n

The rise of craft beer has changed all that. Today, adjuncts are celebrated.<\/p>\n

As an adjunct, rice has long been used in mass-produced beers to increase the alcohol level while maintaining a light body. Now rice is taking top billing as craft brewers are recognizing all that it can offer.<\/p>\n

Rice as a Brewing Grain<\/h2>\n

There are many rice options to use when brewing beer nowadays, including whole rice, syrup and flakes. Craft brewers are using the ingredients in three different ways: to help in the brewing process itself, to serve as a fermentable source of sugar and to add flavor.<\/p>\n

\u201cRice is an awesome grain that\u2019s versatile and can offer a huge influence of flavors in beer,\u201d says Ben Acord, head brewer at Evasion Brewing in McMinnville, Oregon. Evasion is a gluten-free brewery that uses rice in all but two of its beers.<\/p>\n

Acord started off using rice hulls to help in the mash, which is the mixture of malt or adjuncts and hot water that starts the brewing process. Rice hulls, also known as husks, are the hard outer coating of the grain. Acord used the hulls to create an effective filtering bed so the mash doesn\u2019t get stuck.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of breweries will add rice hulls to aid the process,\u201d says Acord.<\/p>\n

The challenge is getting the right amount of hulls. Too many and they bind together and clog grain handling systems. Not enough and you don\u2019t have an effective filter bed.<\/p>\n

(More:\u00a0Denizens Goes \u2018Bock to the Future\u2019 to Brew Recipe Found in Smithsonian Archives<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now Acord uses malted rice which has the grain and the hull intact. In addition to the hulls, it has the added benefit of available sugar from the malt.<\/p>\n

He cites the best advice he received when he was learning how to brew: \u201cKnow your malts. Make the best base beer you can with the malts you have and whatever hops you put in it will only make that beer better.\u201d So that\u2019s what he does. As an example, Evasion\u2019s IPAs use three different kinds of rice malt in each.<\/p>\n

Acord and many others who make gluten-free beer say products that have come onto the market over the last 15 years\u2014like Eckert Malting and Brewing\u2019s line of rice malts, Briess Malt & Ingredients Company\u2019s rice syrup and BSG CraftBrewing\u2019s flaked rice\u2014are game changers for brewing. The ingredients can replace malt as the sugar source and add flavor.<\/p>\n

Acord references Evasion\u2019s Blonde Ale as the brewery\u2019s best example of how rice influences flavor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Blonde Ale is rice and millet and Saaz hops only,\u201d he says. \u201cThe rice malts really lend themselves to crackery biscuit flavors that meld nicely with the Saaz hops.\u201d<\/p>\n

Black Rice\u2019s \u2018Unexpected\u2019 Umami Quality<\/h2>\n

\"Anderson<\/a>
Anderson Valley’s Black Rice Ale (Anderson Valley Brewing Co.)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Rice isn\u2019t just for gluten-free craft beers; it\u2019s incorporated for flavor in traditional brewing as well. Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville, California, currently makes one rice beer in its portfolio: Black Rice Ale. Brewmaster Fal Allen tried black rice for the first time in 2018 and found its dark and savory notes a delightful surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt had an umami quality I hadn\u2019t expected,\u201d he says. \u201cThe flavors were nutty, smooth and delicious, and I immediately started thinking about how I could incorporate it into a beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

First Allen cooked with black rice to learn more about it. Then he conducted some brewing experiments. He started to make Anderson Valley\u2019s Black Rice Ale in 2018 and it went into cans in fall 2019.<\/p>\n

(Recipe: IPA Risotto)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the unusual flavors, the black rice provides a dark inky color to a light hoppy ale.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has the body of a pilsner and the flavors of a lighter German dark lager,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s an unusual combination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because he uses the rice for flavor rather than as a fermentable, the brewing process isn\u2019t much different than the traditional approach. Instead, Allen\u2019s challenge was finding a supplier.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack rice comes from China and is not a common type of rice,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was once called \u2018forbidden rice\u2019 in China and was originally allowed to be consumed only by the royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similar to Evasion, Anderson Valley uses rice hulls to create a filter bed while rinsing sugar from the grains for the Black Rice Ale, as well as most of the brewery\u2019s higher gravity beers and those that contain more than 40 percent wheat.<\/p>\n

Moody Tongue\u2019s Chef-Brewmaster Pays Homage to Chinese Culture<\/h2>\n

Another new rice beer release is the Toasted Rice Lager from Moody Tongue in Chicago. The lager was originally a 2018 ceremonious release in China during the Chinese New Year and later offered as a limited release at the brewery\u2019s tasting room. As of fall 2019, the beer is available in draft and bottles throughout the United States.<\/p>\n

\"moody<\/a>

Jared Rouben, Moody Tongue\u2019s president and brewmaster, and a Culinary Institute of America graduate, brings his chef\u2019s mindset to the brewing process. He created the Toasted Rice Lager to accompany and as a homage to Chinese food\u2014his favorite cuisine.<\/p>\n

During his travels throughout China, Rouben learned to love the flavors, tastes and aromas of the different regions. He wanted to create a beer that offered balance and didn\u2019t overshadow the food. By using rice, he could elevate an ingredient that\u2019s celebrated throughout Chinese cuisine and keep the beer light and refreshing.<\/p>\n

Toasting the rice creates nutty aromatics.<\/p>\n

(More: Two Ancient American Beers Light a New Path at Dos Luces Brewery<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLight lagers aren\u2019t easy,\u201d says Rouben. \u201cYour beer has to be incredibly right or it\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

He uses rice in the mash and doesn\u2019t encounter any brewing challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do use rice in some of our other beers, but we don\u2019t speak to them as rice beers because they\u2019re not part of the aromatics,\u201d says Rouben.<\/p>\n

All three brewers use whole grains for their beers to maintain the taste of the rice, which, along with the other challenges, are more expensive than other rice forms. They all agree it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing the whole grain has a more traditional taste to me,\u201d says Acord. \u201cBut there are a lot of great beers using rice flakes and syrups.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
