Beer is the world's oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drink; it is the third most popular drink overall, after water and tea.

The production of beer is called brewing, which involves the fermentation of sugars, mainly derived from cereal grain starches—most commonly from malted barley, although wheat, maize (corn), and rice are widely used.

Most beer is flavoured with hops, which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative, though other flavourings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally be included.

The fermentation process causes a natural carbonation effect, although this is often removed during processing, and replaced with forced carbonation.

Some of humanity's earliest known writings refer to the production and distribution of beer: the Code of Hammurabi included laws regulating beer and beer parlours, and "The Hymn to Ninkasi", a prayer to the Mesopotamian goddess of beer, served as both a prayer and as a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate people.

Brewing is the production of beer by steeping a starch source (commonly cereal grains, the most popular of which is barley) in water and the resulting sweet liquid with yeast.

It may be done in a brewery by a commercial brewer, at home by a homebrewer, or by a variety of traditional methods such as communally by the indigenous peoples in Brazil when making cauim.

Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that emerging civilizations including ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia brewed beer.

Since the nineteenth century the has been part of most western economies.

A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.

Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature).

Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration.

A people is a plurality of persons considered as a whole, as is the case with an ethnic group or nation.

Collectively, for example, the contemporary Frisians and Danes are two related Germanic peoples, while various Middle Eastern ethnic groups are often linguistically categorized as Semitic peoples.
