Water
Beer is composed mostly of water. Regions have water with different mineral components; as a result, different regions were originally better suited to making certain types of beer, thus giving them a regional character.
Starch Source
The starch source in a beer provides the fermentable material and is a key determinant of the strength and flavour of the beer. The most common starch source used in beer is malted grain.
Hops
Flavoring beer is the sole major commercial use of hops.The flower of the hop vine is used as a flavoring and preservative agent in nearly all beer made today. The flowers themselves are often called "hops".
The basic ingredients of beer are water; a starch source, such as malted barley, able to be fermented (converted into alcohol); a brewer's yeast to produce the fermentation; and a flavouring such as hops
