What is Beer?

Beer is an ancient fermented beverage made from fermented grains and hops. Common grains include barley and wheat, but nearly any grain can be used for beer brewing. After a couple of months of fermentation, the beer is ready to drink and is effervescent from the process. Beer varies in its colors and flavors. Lighter beers tend to be a golden/yellow color and have a mild taste with the characteristic malty bitterness that comes with beer. Darker beers may be opaque and deep brown with robust and rich flavors. Herbs, fruits, coffee, and chocolate are some examples of flavors added to beer for flavor enhancement.
