What is Beer?
Beer, one of the world’s oldest and most popular alcoholic beverages, ranks as the third most consumed drink globally, following water and tea. It is crafted through brewing cereal grains, primarily malted barley, though wheat, corn, or rice may also be used. The brewing process involves fermenting starch sugars in the wort, producing ethanol and carbonation in the final product. Hops are typically added to most modern beers, contributing bitterness, flavor, and acting as a natural preservative. Alternative flavorings, such as gruit, herbs, or fruits, may replace or complement hops. In commercial brewing, natural carbonation is often removed and substituted with forced carbonation.
Ancient texts, like the Code of Hammurabi, which regulated beer production and taverns, and “The Hymn to Ninkasi,” a Mesopotamian prayer doubling as a beer recipe, highlight beer’s historical significance in early societies with limited literacy.
Beer is distributed in bottles, cans, or on draught, commonly served in pubs and bars. The global brewing industry includes major multinational corporations and thousands of smaller producers, from brewpubs to regional breweries. Typically, beer has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 4% to 6%, though it can range from 0.5% to 20%, with some specialty brews reaching 40% ABV or higher.
