At A&B Vietnam, every drop of beer is crafted with care, using premium ingredients that meet international standards. From the essentials like water and malt to specialized additives, each component plays a vital role in shaping flavor, clarity, and shelf life. Let’s explore the ingredients of beer that define the quality of our export products.
4 Main Ingredients of Export Beer at A&B Vietnam
Water: 90–95% of Beer Volume
Water makes up the majority of beer and directly affects the taste and quality. At A&B Vietnam, we carefully filter and treat our water to ensure purity and consistency in every batch, providing a clean base for the other ingredients to shine.
Malted Barley (Malt)
Malt is the soul of beer, contributing natural sweetness, body, and color. We use high-quality malted barley that supports the fermentation process and gives the beer its signature richness and golden hue.
Hops
Hops bring balance to the brew, adding bitterness to counter the sweetness of the malt. They also contribute floral and citrus notes while acting as a natural preservative to improve the beer's stability during export.
Yeast
Yeast is the engine of fermentation. It transforms sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide while developing complex flavors. At A&B Vietnam, we select yeast strains that enhance the profile of each beer style, whether it's crisp, fruity, or smooth.
Supporting Ingredients and Additives (Depending on Beer Style)
Enzymes for Enhanced Starch Conversion
To maximize efficiency and ensure consistent quality, certain beer styles benefit from added enzymes. These support the breakdown of starch into fermentable sugars, improving clarity and alcohol content.
Foam Stabilizers and Carbonation Agents
Stable foam is a sign of a well-brewed beer. Additives such as foam stabilizers and carbonation agents help maintain a pleasing head and ensure a satisfying texture with every sip.
Sugar, Rice, Corn
These ingredients are used to lighten the body, add subtle flavor notes, or adjust alcohol levels. They are especially important for creating beer styles that appeal to diverse markets around the world.
CO₂ – Carbonation and Preservation
Carbon dioxide is not only responsible for the beer’s refreshing fizz but also plays a key role in preservation. At A&B Vietnam, we use CO₂ to ensure each can or bottle retains its quality throughout shipping and storage.
How Ingredients Influence Beer Flavor and Style
Each ingredient contributes to the final character of the beer. Water defines the base. Malt adds depth and sweetness. Hops bring aroma and bitterness. Yeast creates complexity. Supporting ingredients like sugar or enzymes fine-tune the style, from light lagers to full-bodied ales. At A&B Vietnam, the careful selection and balance of these ingredients of beer ensure that our export products are consistent, flavorful, and tailored for international taste preferences.
Understanding what beer is made of reveals the craftsmanship behind every A&B Vietnam brew. With high standards and carefully chosen ingredients, we deliver beer that meets global demands and celebrates the art of brewing.
