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 saccharification of starch and fermentation
of the resulting sugar. The starch and saccharification
enzymes are often derived from malted cereal grains,
most commonly malted barley and malted wheat. Unmalted
maize (US: corn) and rice are widely used adjuncts
to lighten the flavor and because of their lower
cost. The preparation of beer is called brewing.
Most beer is flavoured with hops, which add bitterness
and act as a natural preservative, though other
flavourings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally
be included...
