Karaoke defined by the Cambridge dictionary refers to a form of entertainment, originally from Japan, which recordings of the music but not the words of popular songs are played so that people can sing the words themselves.


Origin and Etymology of Karaoke

Japanese, from kara empty + ōke, short forōkesutora orchestra


 A TYPICAL KARAOKE NIGHT


How Karaoke was Born

Karaoke was born in a night amusement quarter at the end of the high economic growth period in Japan. Back then, customers listened to popular songs via wire broadcasting, request favourite songs by telephone, and the wire broadcasting company put the songs on the air. Such a system continued for quite a while.

As such karaoke appeared on the scene for example holding a microphone and singing a song to the accompaniment of an "orchestra," you can feel like a professional singer. If other customers give you a big hand, you feel all the happier. Karaoke has thus stimulated people's desire to sing. It is expressed corporate soldiers living in a stressful society, there is no other entertainment that can make them feel so refreshed. 
Consequently, karaoke immediately spread from Kansai all over Japan.

History of Spirits

Rum – is a spirit distilled from molasses or sugarcane juice.

Types of Rum

  • White 
  • Golden 
  • Dark 
  • Spiced 
  • Flavoured

Vodka – a spirit distilled from barley, corn, ray, potatoes. It originated in Russia. The term vodka is derived from the Slavic word Voda (water)

Types of Vodka

  1. Neutral vodka – distilled from grains or potato juice. 
  2. Flavoured Vodka – using natural flavoured material 

Scotch/Whisky – a general name for liquors of not less than 80% proof, distilled from mash grains. Whisky is a drink distilled from the fermentation of malt. Malt is any grain that has been allowed to germinate, particularly barley or rye, and then dried. The process by which it malt is made is called 'malting'.

Whether it is spelled 'whisky' or 'whiskey' usually depends on where it was made. For example In Scotland, Canada, Japan and other parts of the world, it is spelled without the 'e', while in the US and Ireland it is more commonly spelled with an 'e'.


Whisky of one type or another is made all over the world, but to be called Scotch Whisky it must be made entirely in Scotland. 

The main differences between types of whisky are down to three things: the grain used; the production process; where the whisky was made; and how long it was matured for.

Types of Scotch/Whiskies


  • Single Malt – This is a whisky from a single distillery made using only malted barley, water and yeast. 
  • Blended – A blended Scotch Whisky is made by mixing together Single Malt Whiskies and Single Grain Whiskies. 
  • Bourbon - Bourbon is an American whiskey made from malted grains that are at minimum 51% corn. 
Two types of Bourbon:-

1. Straight - This a bourbon from one American state, for example Kentucky,who has been aged for at least 2 years and doesn't have any additives such as flavouring or colourants. 
2. Blended – A blended bourbon can include other spirits and flavourings, but must be a minimum of at least 51% straight bourbon.

Tennessee - essentially the same as bourbon. The only distinction is the inclusion of charcoal filtering in the post-distillation process.

Rye - primarily made in North America. In the United States, it must be fermented from a mixture of malted grains that is at least 51% rye.

Flavoured - whiskies with a single added flavouring but without additional sweetener.


Whisky Liqueurs - any form of flavoured whisky with added sweetener, traditionally served as an after-dinner drink. Whisky liqueurs fall into two broad categories: those made with cream and those made without.

Beer Dispenser - Can improper pouring of a Draught Beer ruin your experience?

Proper serving of draught beer is intended to have a “controlled” release of carbonation to give a better tasting and sensory experience. The evolution of CO2 gas during pouring builds the foam head and releases desirable flavors and aromas.



Technique when Pouring

1. Hold glass at a 45º angle, open faucet fully.
2. Gradually tilt glass upright once beer has reached about the halfway point in the glass.
3. Pour beer straight down into the glass, working the glass to form a one-inch collar of foam (“head”). This is for visual appeal as well as carbonation release.
4. Close faucet quickly to avoid wasteful overflow.


Hygiene when Pouring

 In no instance should a faucet nozzle touch the inside of the glass.

  • Nozzles can cause glassware breakage
  • Nozzles can transfer contamination from dried beer to glassware.

In no instance should the faucet nozzle become immersed in the consumer’s beer.

  • Nozzles dipped in beer become a breeding ground for microorganisms.

Importance of one-inch foam collar.

  • While retailers struggle with customers whom demand their beer “filled to the rim,” brewers prefer beer poured with about a one-inch collar of foam (“head”).
  • A one-inch head maximizes retailer profit, as foam is 25% beer. Filling glass to the rim is really over-pouring.




Beer Tips - Did You Know?

Beer Expiration Dates

A common rule of thumb among beer experts is that American beers are fresh for 4-6 months. Experts also say imported beers last longer; 9 to 12 months. Some beers, like those with high alcohol content, can last years, if you know how to store them properly.

Most beers have some kind of code or date on the package. Bud and Coors beers have “born on” dates, which make it easy to add four to six months in order to determine the date of expiry. For example, Sam Adams beer has an expiration date, which will tell you when your beer will be the freshest.
  

Rules of Thumb For Storing Beers

  • Most beers that improve with age need to be stored at least one year, but some can be aged for up to 25 years. 
  • Most experts agree that beer should be stored upright, not on its side like wine.
  • One argument for why beer should be stored upright is that the yeast needs to fall to the bottom of the bottle. 
  • Storing beer on its side may create a yeast ring. This ruins the beer since the yeast will not settle after this happens.

Conditions that will deteriorate your beer

  • Light and heat are beer’s worst enemies. 
  • Direct sunlight, as well as artificial, fluorescent lights can lead to “light-struck” beer in under a minute. 
  • Light-struck beer is skunked beer. While brown bottles are the most protective of beer, clear and green bottles are very susceptible to light. 
  • Storing beer in dark or shaded areas or even wrapped in brown bags will protect its quality. 
  • Heat will also deteriorate beer. Warm temperatures make the yeast in the beer more active, which is why storing beer cold is the best way to keep it fresher longer. 
  • This rule applies to all beer, whether storing it for a week or for a year.
