Beer is defined as a beverage resulting from the fermentation of brewing yeast, derived from the cooking of malt and hops, where part of the malt or malt extract can be partially replaced by brewing adjuncts, resulting in flavor variations depending on the ingredients used. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop the production and commercialization of a beer using alternative materials, such as.
