beer and cider
Beer and cider are popular alcoholic beverages made through fermentation. Beer is brewed from grains like barley or wheat, hops, water, and yeast, resulting in a variety of flavors from bitter to sweet. Cider is made from fermented apple juice (or other fruits), offering a range of crisp, fruity tastes. Both beverages contain alcohol produced when yeast consumes sugars during fermentation. They can be enjoyed cold and come in many styles, from light and refreshing to rich and complex. While they share similarities, beer and cider differ mainly in their ingredients and flavor profiles, reflecting their unique production processes.
