All right — what do you need to get this beer going? All beer is made with just four base ingredients: malts, water, hops, and yeast. It's the specific kind and amount of each ingredient, and how you mix them together, that give us everything from the palest of pale ales to the darkest of stouts, and all the beautiful beers in between.
