Originally posted by vanderveldea wheat beer, look tasty! Later on I plan to have a Bavarian Weihnachtsbier, they are more full bodied and stronger than a traditional pilsner/lager, very tasty 😀
I had one in "Berliner" bar, Friday evening, before the gig in vicinity.

Actually the title of this thread says "yeast white beer".
Wheat beer is a beer, usually top-fermented (lagers are bottom fermented), which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat relative to the amount of malted barley. The two main varieties are Weissbier and Witbier. 😀
Germany makes some truly awesome beers which is in part due to the brewing process. They favour what is called a decoction mash, that is the pulling and boiling of certain portions of the malt to impart a more robust flavour. Mostly done away with because modern malts are so well modified by the malt companies, still it is used by traditional breweries. It served well in a time before thermometers and the enzymatic processes were fully understood.

[b]Well, beer is not really my "thing".
Beer is 92% water and contains among other things, amounts of magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, and vitamin B’s
there are less carbs in beer than in Orange juice,

For very nearly the same calories, beer is practically nutrient-free, whereas OJ has easily 2x to 2.5x the RDA of Vitamin C and one-fifth the RDA of Vitamin B1.
Beer has anywhere from 5 to 11 grams of carbs per 12 oz serving.
OJ has anywhere from 24 to 29 grams of carbs per 8 oz serving (because that is mostly sugars).
So I don't drink OJ, either.
