Innovation in the beer market focuses on research into the different ingredients that make up this popular and sought-after beverage. Some of these innovations have focused on the use of autochthonous ingredients, which bring added value to products, reduce production costs and environmental impact, and provide beers with special organoleptic characteristics. This study focuses on the use of autochthonous ingredients from the Community of Madrid and the design of four recipes that are suited to these ingredients and consumer demand. In terms of the ingredients used, the micromalting of barley grown in the CM was carried out, while hops (Cascade variety for bittering hops and wild hops Rayo verde Tajuñ:a and Torreta Tajuñ:a for aroma) and yeast strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae G 520 and G 354) were selected from previous studies, which were also sourced from the CM. For the barley malt, parameters such as protein content were determined, which was at the maximum limit but did not affect the final quality of the beers. The content of &alpha:- and &beta:-acids in the hops was also determined, being higher in the Cascade variety. Different physicochemical analyses (GC, aromatic compounds, bitterness, colour, SO2, polyphenols, and antioxidant capacity) were carried out to determine the quality of the beers obtained from the four recipes designed, as well as tastings by a panel of experts and consumers. Finally, two recipes were rated the best by a panel of experts and consumers, where the cereal, hop, and fruit flavours stood out for their aromatic profile.
