Beer - Is Also Known As "Malt Beverage" and Is Associated

Beer is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from water, malt, hops, and yeast. Malt, derived from barley, provides sugars that are fermented by yeast into alcohol. Hops add flavor and act as a preservative. There are several main types of beer including lager, ale, bock, stout, and light beer, which vary in color, flavor, and alcoholic content. Lager is pale, dry, and carbonated with 3-4.5% alcohol while ale is English-style with a heavier flavor around 2.5-5.5% alcohol.
