Malt beverage

Malt beverage is a type of drink that is made from grains like barley, corn or wheat. Just like how we eat food to give our body energy, malt beverages are made to give our body energy too.

The process of making malt beverage is like making a cake. First, the grains are mixed with water and then heated to help the grains break down into a sugary substance called malt. Next, yeast is added to the malt liquid to make it turn into alcohol. Then, the mixture is fermented which means the yeast eats the sugars in the malt and creates alcohol in the process.

Finally, different flavors like hops and fruit can be added to give it a unique taste. Malt beverages come in many different types, like beer, ale or even malted milkshakes!

But remember, even though malt beverage can be tasty, it is still a type of alcohol and should only be consumed by adults in moderation.
