Beer is a relatively simple drink. Almost all beer contains only four ingredients, which are barley, water, hops and yeast. The different styles of beer are produced by variations in the four stages of the brewing process and the amount of each ingredient used. While beer has been made from many different grains through the ages, barley has proven to be the world's most valued brewing ingredient. In fact, the word beer itself probably comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word baere, meaning barley.
