Hops are considered the"soul of the beer" because they give the beer its very specific aroma and its typical bitter flavor. The firm foam crown of a freshly tapped beer is in part due to hops. Without the need for chemical additives, hops preserves beer naturally.

Before barley can be used to make beer, it must be malted. This is done by soaking the barley in water, draining and drying at different temperatures. The intensity of the malt flavor and color depends on how high the temperature is raised during the drying process.
There are more than 50 varieties on the market. Malts range in color from very pale through crystal and amber or even black malts. To brew 100 liters of pale ale, about 20 kg of malt are needed.
