Do beers ales lagers contain wheat?

* Wheat beers *do* contain wheat. They're often made with a high percentage of wheat, giving them a distinctive cloudy appearance and a light, refreshing flavor.

* Ales can contain wheat, but they are not required to. Many traditional ales are made with barley only. However, some beers, like a Witbier, are ale styles that use wheat.

* Lagers can also contain wheat, but again, it's not a requirement. Most lagers are made primarily with barley. However, some lagers, like Hefeweizens, are made with a significant amount of wheat.

So, while some beers in each category contain wheat, it's not a universal ingredient in all beers of those styles. To know for sure, check the label!
