What Is Beer? Types, Ingredients & How It’s Made
Beer is one of the world’s oldest and most beloved beverages — a fermented alcoholic drink crafted from four essential ingredients: water, malted grains, hops, and yeast. These components interact through a time-honored brewing process to create an astonishing variety of styles, from crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to rich stouts and experimental specialty brews. Understanding how beer is made helps you appreciate every pint on your local draft list and the craftsmanship behind it.
