Beer is a favourite drink of many people around the world. Beer, as beer is known in English-speaking countries, is an alcoholic beverage made from barley, hops, water and yeast. It is characterised by its typical golden colour and can taste, which it gets from the hops. Although there are many varieties and types of beer, they are all produced using this basic process.

Beer is not used exclusively as an alcoholic beverage. Its unique taste and characteristics can be found in many other products and foods. It is used as an ingredient in baking, for example in the production of certain types of bread, where it adds a specific flavour and creamy texture. Beer is also often used in culinary applications, particularly in meat dishes, where it helps tenderise meat and adds a unique flavour. In addition to the food industry, beer is also used in cosmetics. The substances contained in beer, such as vitamins and minerals, have a beneficial effect on the skin and hair. Examples include various shampoos or face masks made with beer.
