BEER

• Beer is the oldest and most widely
  consumed alcoholic drink in the world, and the
  third most popular drink overall
  after water and tea. Beer is brewed from cereal
  grains most commonly from malted barley, though
  wheat, maize (corn), and rice are also used.
  During the brewing process, fermentation of
  the starch sugars in the wort produces alcohol and
   carbonation in the resulting beer. Most modern
  beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness
  and other flavors and act as a natural preservativ
  e and stabilizing agent. Other flavoring agents
  such as gruit, herbs, or fruits may be included
  or used instead of hops. In commercial brewing,
  the natural carbonation effect is often removed
  during processing, and replaced with forced
  carbonation

Brewing

• The process of making beer is known as brewing. A
  dedicated building for the making of beer is
  called a brewery, though beer can be made in the
  home and has been for much of its history. A
  company that makes beer is called either a
  brewery or a brewing company. Beer made on a
  domestic scale for non-commercial reasons is
  classified as home brewing regardless of where it
  is made, though most homebrewed beer is made in
  the home. The purpose of brewing is to convert
  the starch source into a sugary liquid
  called wort and to convert the wort into the
  alcoholic beverage known as beer in a
  fermentation process effected by yeast.

Serving

• Draught
• Draught beer from a pressurized keg using a
  lever-style dispenser and a spout is the most
  common method of dispensing in bars around the
  world
• Packaging
• Most beers are cleared of yeast by filtering when
  packaged in bottles and cans.

• Temperature
• The temperature of a beer has an influence on a
  drinker's experience warmer temperatures reveal
  the range of flavors in a beer but cooler
  temperatures are more refreshing. Most drinkers
  prefer pale lager to be served chilled, a low- or
  medium-strength pale ale to be served cool, while
  a strong barley wine or imperial stout to be
  served at room temperature
• Vessels
• Beer is consumed out of a variety of vessels,
  such as a glass, a beer stein, a mug,
  a pewter tankard, a beer bottle or a can or
  at music festivals and some bars and nightclubs,
  from a plastic cup. The shape of the glass from
  which beer is consumed can influence the
  perception of the beer and can define and accent
  the character of the style.

• Beer is sold in jugs and jars it might likewise
  be accessible on draft, especially in beer shop
  and bars.
• The blending business is a worldwide business,
  comprising of a few overwhelming multinational
  organizations and a large number of smaller
  producers extending from beer shop to local
  bottling works.
