Beer is a brewed alcoholic beverage common across many cuisines and social settings, available in styles such as lager and ale and often enjoyed chilled or used in cooking to add depth to stews and batters. It is relatively low in energy for a drink, at about 43kcal per 100g, and is mainly a source of carbohydrates with very little protein or fat. Nutritionally it provides only small amounts of minerals such as copper, manganese and selenium, and contains negligible fiber, so it is not a significant source of vitamins or satiety; choosing non‑alcoholic or lower‑sugar alternatives is a common way to reduce alcohol and caloric intake while keeping a similar flavor profile.
