Rice beer

What is "rice beer"?

Rice beer is a type of beer that is brewed using rice as a primary ingredient. Rice beer is particularly popular in Asia, where it has been brewed for centuries and is a staple beverage in many cultures. The brewing process for rice beer is similar to that of other beers, but with the addition of rice as a key ingredient. Rice is used in place of some or all of the malted barley typically used in brewing, which gives the beer a lighter and crisper flavor profile. Rice beer can vary in color, flavor, and alcohol content depending on the brewing process and the other ingredients used. Some of the most popular styles of rice beer include Japanese sake, which is a fermented rice wine, and Korean makgeolli, which is a milky, unfiltered rice beer that is often flavored with fruit or other ingredients.
