Beer

Categories: Food
  • Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world. It is brewed by fermenting a starch (such as barley or wheat) and steeping it in liquid infused with hops. In January 2009, beer makers reported that the industry was being impacted by the world-wide slow down in demand as a result of global economic problems. The greatest drop in demand was noted in the United States and Europe.FOX News: Beer Sales Go Flat... (January 16, 2009)
  • Beer Styles

    Beer can vary based on the yeast and fermentation process. Ale is brewed with what is known as a top-fermenting yeast at a higher temperature to induce quick fermentation. This produces a beer with a fruity, aromatic flavor.

    Lager is produced in the opposite way, through a slow fermentation process at lower temperatures. This produces a beer with fewer flavors and more of a crisp taste.

  • Bestselling Brews

    Budweiser is the top-selling beer in the world, while Bud Light holds that distinction in the United States. Bud's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, is one of the world's largest brewers, though InBev and SABMiller hold the top two spots.
