Companies in the Malt Beverages (Manufacturing) industry are involved in the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic malt-based beverages. This includes beer, malt liquor, and malt-based soft drinks. The process of manufacturing malt beverages involves several steps, including malting, brewing, fermentation, and packaging. Malting involves soaking and germinating grains, typically barley, to produce malt. The malt is then mixed with water and other ingredients, such as hops, to create a wort. The wort is then fermented with yeast to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide. The final step involves packaging the beverage in bottles, cans, or kegs.
