Beer

Beer, one of the world's oldest and most popular alcoholic beverages, is crafted through the fermentation of cereal grains, typically malted barley, with hops, yeast, and water. The process, known as brewing, involves converting the grain starches into sugars, which the yeast then consumes, producing alcohol and carbonation. Hops, the dried flowers of the hop plant, are added for bitterness, flavour, and preservation. The resulting beverage comes in a vast array of styles, from light lagers to dark stouts, each with its unique flavour profile influenced by the specific ingredients and brewing techniques used.
