I have a table (dbo.beer) with this data:
BeerID | BeerName | brewer | beerdescription |
----------- | -------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
1 | Becks | Interbrew | Beck's is a German-style pilsner beer known for its golden color, full-bodied taste, and a crisp, clean finish with floral and fruity hop aromas, brewed according to the German purity law |
2 | Fat Tire | New Belgium | Toasty malt, gentle sweetness, flash of fresh hop bitterness. The malt and hops are perfectly balanced. |
3 | Mac n Jacks | Mac & Jack's Brewery | This beer erupts with a floral, hoppy taste, followed by a well rounded malty middle, finishing with a nicely organic hop flavor. Locally sourced two row grain and a blend of specialty malts give our amber its rich taste. |
4 | Alaskan Amber | Alaskan Brewing | Alaskan Brewing Amber Ale is an "alt" style beer, meaning it's fermented slowly and at colder temperatures, resulting in a well-balanced, richly malty, and long-lasting flavor profile with a clean, pleasing aftertaste. |
8 | Kirin | Kirin Brewing | Kirin Ichiban is a Lager-type beer, which means it is fermented at low temperatures and offers a light and refreshing texture with a smooth and balanced flavor. |
