What are the standard ingredients in Beer?
Answer:
Beer has four standard ingredients: malt, hops,
yeast and water. Malt gives beer its flavor, fullness and alcohol content, and it is made from cereals like barley, wheat, oats, maize or rice, of which barley is the most popular.

Hops are vines whose dried flowers not only help preserve the beer, but also add aroma and bitter flavor that balances out malt sweetness. Yeasts convert sugars in the malt into alcohol through the process of fermentation. Beer is 90% water, and water quality affects final flavor: hard water is good for light ales and bitters, and soft water for mild ales and stouts.
