Beer Poking is an age-old tradition which dates back more than 400 years. It was quite popular in the colonial era where a combination of heat and alcohol was preferred during the cold winters. When Colonial Americans were sitting by the campfires in winter, they had discovered that a fire poker, which looks like a short rod, can be used to warm up their beers... And discovered how this carameliz-es the beer and gives it a creamy richer flavor. In Europe, the process of beer poking is a heritage and usually takes place in early Spring when the bock beers hit the shelves. During the winter, people gather around bonfire for a warm beer poking session. It is a common sight in Northern Europe. It is known as 'Bier Stacheln' which translates to "beer spiking" in Germany Show more
