Abstract

Currently, in the beer market, the most critical type of consumer is growing, interested in the entire manufacturing process and demanding a superior quality of the liquid to be consumed. Craft beer is known for having a higher quality than the others, because its production is on a smaller scale, they tend to be more demanding with the choice of raw material. Its consumers seek to taste new flavors and aromas. Starting with the analysis of the raw materials, we have: water as the main constituent; malt, the most used being barley malt; hops, responsible for the aroma and “bitterness” of beer and yeast, with its great importance in the fermentation stage. The brewing production process goes through the following stages: malt milling, mashing, filtration, boiling, fermentation, maturation, clarification, pasteurization and then bottling, passing through quality control. The main types of beer are the larger type and the ale type, and what differs is the type of fermentation.
