September 7th is National Beer Lovers Day in the United States.

Yet another day celebrating the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world, beer. Indeed, beer is one of the most popular drinks. Or, rather, more those who drink beer than the drink itself.

Beer is one of the oldest drinks in the world as well and it comes in an enormous range of types, colours and strengths. One of the oldest writings in the world, the Code of Hammurabi, have laws regulating beer and serving it.

Beer is made from cereal grains, with many different types of grain used, which are fermented to create alcohol and carbonation. Other ingredients may also be added to give beer different flavours. Today, beer has three measurements to classify it; bitterness, colour and strength.
