Ingredients For Brewing Beer
Water. Ask any beer drinkers what is the most important ingredient in beer making and you will hear things like malt, hops, yeast, etc. They rarely remember the greatest ingredient of all - water. Without a good supply, brewing a good beer is impossible.
Malt. Malt is the body and soul of a brew. It is this partially germinated, roasted grain that provides not only the alcohol but also much of the flavour and nearly all of the colour in a glass of beer. Types of malt are:
Pale malt
Amber and browm malts
Crystal malt
Chocolate malt
Black malt
Hops. The cones of the hop plant were originally added to beer as a preservative. They prevent the brew from going sour and also bring a characteristic bitter flavour and aroma to the drink. Among the 20 over types of hops are:
Bramling Cross
Cascade
Crystal
Fuggles
Goldings, etc.
Yeast. Without yeast, malt, hops and water will never make beer. It is the catalyst that transforms the hopped cereal solution into a potent drink, hiding its magic beneath a living cloak of froth and foam.
Other ingredients. Although the basic four ingredients - water, hops, malt and yeast - are all that you need to brew beer, many brewers add other substances to their receipe, perhaps to produce a distinctive flavour and aroma, or simply to save money. Some of these ingredients are:
Sugar
Flaked maize
Rice
Torrefied wheat
Malt extracts
Roasted barley
Honey
Chilli
Spices
Herbs
Fruits
Type of Beer. The "title" beer runs the gamut from dark, hearty ales to tangy, spritzy gueuzes. The myriad different tastes, colours, flavours and aromas can, to some extent, be squeezed into groupings with similar characteristics and methods of production. The groupings are:

Berliner Weisse
Biere De Garde
Bitter
Black Beer

either that or you are the supreme alcoholic
Am flattered but neither one is correct.
Learnt alot about beer from my book - "Complete Guide To Beer". Personally, am a social drinker and the only time I drank alot was when I was on a 8-week course in Vienna where my course-mates and I frequently pub-hopped and had drank more types of beer, especially Austrian, than what I had had consumed in my life.
