Beer is a sparkling refreshing drink with a characteristic aroma and a pleasant bitter taste. The basic raw materials for beer production are brewer's malt, brewer's yeast, hops, and water. It has been determined that beer can have a positive effect on the health of the consumer. As a biologically balanced drink, beer is a rich source of nutritionally and pharmacologically active ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, so it is rightly often called "liquid bread." Before placing on the market, beer is subject to mandatory quality testing in terms of physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters, residues of plant protection products, biocides or contaminants, and sensory evaluation, following applicable regulations. The connection between beer flavonoids and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease has been discovered.
