What's on the ingredient list of a good beer?

First of all, we have to start with the German 1516 Pure Brewing Method, which is a method of brewing beer entirely from water, malt (barley malt, wheat malt), hops and yeast only. Therefore, the pure brewing method is also a standard for testing the quality of beer. Germany's Erdinger beer and Czech Republic's Budweiser are typical representatives of the pure brewing method, and the raw materials column on their back labels are definitely the above mentioned ingredients. Then international brands like Budweiser, Heineken, Tiger, Carlsberg, etc., who set up branch factories in China and produce their beers in large quantities, the raw material column on their back labels would be like this: water, rice, malt, hops, yeast. They have added rice, why add rice, because the cost of rice is much lower than the cost of malt, and raw materials to add rice will cover the bitter taste of hops, suitable for the taste of the majority of people, this kind of beer is known as "industrial beer", taste and grade than the pure brewing method of beer worse. Finally, we Chinese people usually drink with meals, snow, Qingdao ice pure, Suntory, (3-5 yuan / bottle), these beers are not only rice in the raw materials column, but also added "starch"! The taste of this type of beer can be seen. I just help you differentiate between good and bad beer from a broad category, in fact, there are thousands of kinds of beer in all countries of the world, such as Belgian beer (Fuchsia White, White Bear), now popular in all countries of the craft beer, are very good beer.
