The main raw materials for brewing beer are barley, hops, yeast and water.

（1）Malt is made from barley. Barley is a hard grain that matures much faster than other grains. Because malt made from barley is faster than wheat, rye, and oats, it was selected as the main raw material for brewing.

In general, there are three major beer and wheat producing areas in the world, Australia, North America and Europe. Among them, the Australian beer malt is most favored by beer brewing experts because of its emphasis on naturalness, sufficient light, no pollution and pure variety, so it is also known as gold malt.

（2）Hops are plants belonging to the nettle or hemp family. Wine peanuts have the structure of knots. It is these knots that infuse the beer with bitterness and sweetness, making the beer more refreshing and delicious, and helping digestion.

Different brands choose different high-quality hops. For example, Shihao Beer only uses the "green bullet" hops in the deep valley of New Zealand.

（3）Yeast is a microorganism of fungi. In the process of beer brewing, yeast is a magician. It ferments the sugar in malt and rice into beer, producing alcohol, carbon dioxide, and other trace fermentation products. These trace but wide variety of fermentation products, together with other flavors directly from malt and hops, form the attractive and unique sensory characteristics of the finished beer. There are two main types of beer yeast: "top yeast" and "bottom yeast". When viewed with a microscope, the oval shape of the top yeast is slightly more obvious than that of the bottom yeast. The name "top yeast" comes from the fact that during fermentation, yeast rises to the surface of the beer and can skim on top. "Bottom yeast" is always present in the beer, and finally settles at the bottom of the fermentation barrel after fermentation. "Top Yeast" produces light beer, stout beer, bitter beer. "Bottom yeast" produces lager beer and Pilsner.

（4）Water：More than 90% of each bottle of beer is water. Water plays a very important role in the beer brewing process. In addition to the clean water required for beer brewing, the mineral salts contained in the water must also be removed.

The site selection requirements for the earlier brewery are very high, and it must be a place with clean water. With the development of technology and the maturity of water filtration and treatment technology, the requirements for the location selection of modern breweries have been greatly reduced. It can be achieved by filtering and treating tap water and ground water to achieve almost pure water. Used to brew beer.
