Beer
Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from four primary ingredients: water, malted grains (usually barley), hops, and yeast. The process begins with mashing the grains to extract sugars, boiling the mixture with hops for flavor and aroma, and then fermenting it with yeast, which converts sugars into alcohol and carbonation. Different styles of beer vary in taste, color, and strength, largely influenced by the types of grains, hops, and yeast used. Beer has a long history and is enjoyed in various cultures worldwide, often associated with social gatherings and celebrations.
