ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Malzbier

Alright kiddo, let me explain what malzbier is for you!

Have you ever had a drink that was sweet, but not too sweet like soda pop or juice? Well, malzbier is kind of like that. It's a drink that comes from Germany and it's made from barley- which is a kind of grain that's used to make bread and other foods.

Now, normally when you make a drink from barley, you use it to make beer- but malzbier is special because it's a non-alcoholic drink made from barley. It's kind of like a beer without the alcohol.

Malzbier is brown in color, and it has a really rich, malty flavor. That might sound kind of weird, but it's actually really good! It's a little bit like eating bread, but in a drink form. Some people like to drink it really cold, and some people like to drink it at room temperature- it just depends on what you like.

So that's malzbier! It's a sweet, non-alcoholic drink made from barley that's popular in Germany. Maybe when you're older, you'll get to try it for yourself!
