WATER It is pure, with an optimal composition, slightly mineralized. The identity and quality of the beer are marked by the characteristics of the water. YEAST This microscopic element is responsible for transforming the sugars in the must into alcohol during fermentation. MALT Provides beer with the essential nutritional elements that make up its body, foam and color. It is obtained by the germination of barley grains, which are moistened until reaching their optimum point; then the process is slowed down by reducing their humidity until they dry. The degree of subsequent roasting of the malt will influence the final color of the beer. HOP This flower of Asian origin is the soul of beer. It is largely due to its aroma, bitterness and sensation of freshness. It is a plant that began to be used in its production in the 9th century with the function of sanitizing and preserving beer. © Mahou San Miguel Legal warning Legal conditions Privacy Policy Cookies policy Contact us Visit our factories Web map Committed to society Mahou San Miguel recommends responsible consumption FOLLOW US ON
