"Beer"
"Introduction & Definition"
Beer is the world’s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage; it is the third-most popular drink overall, after water and tea. It is thought by some to be the oldest fermented beverage. Beer is produced by the scarification of starch and fermentation of the resulting sugar.The starch and scarification enzymes are often derived from malted cereal grains; most commonly malted barley and malted wheat. Unmalted maize and rice are widely used adjuncts to lighten the flavor because of their lower cost.
The preparation of beer is called brewing. Most beer is flavored
with hops, which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative, though other flavorings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally be included.
Beer is a portable alcoholic beverage fermented from malted barley and flavored with hops. The alcoholic content is between 3% to 5% and is known to be a very refreshing drink especially in summer.
Types of Beer
Lager : Lager beer is distinguished by the fact that the wort is the fermented by a bottom fermentation type of yeast (i.e..yeast which is introducedat the bottom of the fermenting tanks) and then is stored in refrigerated cellars(lager) at freezing point for a period of six months. The process matures the beer. Lager is a German word meaning ‘store’. Pilsener lager is the limestone caves of pilsen in Czechoslovakia.
Ale : Ale is synonymous with beer except that it is a term used for
ordinary mild beer while better beer is referred to as “beer”.
Porter : Porter is a black beer achieved by roasting malt. It is more
malty in flavor, with less flavoring of hops, but sweeter then stout. This name
originated from the fact that London porters used to drink this beer.
Stout : Stout similar to porter in as much as the malt is roasted. It has a
strong malt flavor and a sweet taste, but is heavier and has a strong hop character
than porter. This is a name given by the Irish and is almost similar to porter.
Draught beer : Freshly gassed beer.
