How Many Brands Of Beer Are There In The World?

Beer is the oldest among the alcoholic beverage in history! The origin of the ale dates back to grain fermentation and indulgence in ancient Egypt. Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented starches. The base grain could be barley, wheat or cassava. The ingredients include water, malted barley, wheat or cassava, hops and yeast. The yeast plays a major role in the fermentation process.
