My favorite beverage on a hot day is an ice cold beer. They are so refreshing!
Beer is the oldest and most consumed alcoholic drink.
How long ago did people make beer? I heard it was safer to drink than water in many places.
I do not know but I know they are brewed from cereal grains.
Cool, isn't there hops and yeast involved too? It sounds like drinkable bread, lol.
I believe so but beer also has malted barley.
Is that what gives stout the dark color? There are so many kinds, like lager, pilsner, ale.
I am not sure but I do know they add flavor agents such as gruit or fruit.
I like to add an orange slice to my beer for an extra fruity taste. I never heard of gruit before, what is that?
Gruit
Gruit (alternately grut or gruyt) is a herb mixture used for bittering and flavouring beer, popular before the extensive use of hops. Gruit or grut ale may also refer to the beverage produced using gruit.
Historically, "gruit" is the term used in an area today covered by the Netherlands, Belgium and westernmost Germany. Today however, "gruit" is a colloquial term for any beer seasoned with gruit-like herbs.
Gruit was and is a combination of herbs, commonly including sweet gale
point MacArthur says, "[T]he primary reason I don't do a lot of things I could do, including drinking wine or any alcoholic beverage, [is] because I know some believers would be offended by it ...

3. Christians should make a public statement against drunkenness because of the negative consequences it can have on individuals, families, and society
