'BEER' IS THE NAME USED TO DESCRIBE THE FAMILY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES BREWED FROM MALT AND FLAVOURED WITH HOPS. 

There are two categories of beer: 'Lagers' and 'Ales'. Lagers use yeast that gathers at the bottom of the fermentation tank, while Ales use yeast that gathers at the top.

Ales are also brewed and aged at a higher temperature than lagers to produce a different flavour profile.
