Does beer contain wheat?!


Question:

Does beer contain wheat?


Answers:
"Wheat beer" contains wheat, but most regular beer is malt, barley, corn, hops, and water.

i would have to say yes because it has yeast and yeast is what bread is made out of

No not usually
Malt
Yeast
Water
Hops

Have a look at this link http://www.fosters.com.au/enjoy/beer/bre...

nope!!! Its called "Hops"....... And in Northern Germany, hops are grown as vastly as we out here in the west grow "Wheat"......
Think "Bread" = Wheat
Think "Beer" = Hops

Not normally. Simply put, beer is fermented, hop flavored, malt sugared, liquid. The basic ingredients of beer are water, malt, hops, and yeast. Barley is a basic cereal grain not particularly good for milling into flour and making bread or bakery goods. But it is great for beer.

NO...most beer containes barley,yeast,malt,water and hops.BUT there are beers that do have wheat..mostly german(Hefeweizen} and belgian(Hoegaarden Wit.}

yes.

Some beers contain malted wheat grains.

Generaly no, there are a fw wheat beer on the market though that do contain a certain amount of wheat. Beer by definition is made from barley that has been malted (sprouted) then flavored with hops, many other adjuncts may be added, in american beer these are usually rice and corn, but wheat can also be used.

It depends on the type of beer.

It does only if the recipe calls for it. If the label says "weisen" or "witbier" you can generally be sure that they do. For other beers, especially at microbreweries, it's safest to ask first.
