Malt drinks are alcoholic beverages made from malted grain, such as barley, wheat, and rye. Ales are a type of malt drink that is brewed with top-fermenting yeast, which gives it a distinct flavor and aroma. Ales are usually darker in color than other malt drinks and have a higher alcohol content. They are popular in many countries around the world and come in a variety of styles, including pale ales, brown ales, and stouts.
