What does BEER mean in Scrabble?
noun
An alcoholic drink made from fermented malt and flavoured with hops.
Beer ranks among humanity's oldest brewed beverages, with evidence of production stretching back thousands of years to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. The English word traces to Old English beor, and today it covers everything from pale lagers to dark stouts, varying by grain, yeast and brewing method from one region to the next. Pubs, breweries and home brewers alike treat beer as a craft as much as a beverage.
