Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from malted grains, hops, yeast, and water.
The grain is usually barley or wheat, but sometimes corn and rice are used as well. Fruit, herbs, and spices may also be used for special styles. Ales encompass the broadest range of beer styles including bitters, pale ales, porters, stouts, barley wines, trappist, lambic, and alt. The British Isles are famous for their ales and it is a popular style with homebrewers and micro-breweries. Pilsner beer originated in the town of Pilsen, now in the Czech Republic and was the first non-cloudy beer.
