What beers do not contain corn or by products?

It's not as simple as just saying "these beers don't have corn." Here's why:

* Corn in brewing is complex: Corn is often used in brewing, but not always as a primary ingredient. It's used for:

* Adjuncts: These are added to lower the cost of the beer and can be rice, corn, or other grains. Some beers will specify "adjunct-free" if they don't use any of these.

* Fermentation: Some yeasts used in brewing prefer corn-based sugars.

* Labeling varies: Not all beers list their ingredients in full detail. Some might use "malt" which could include corn, rice, or other grains.

To find beers without corn, you'll need to look for:

* "100% Malt" or "All Malt" beers: These are a good indicator, but not a guarantee.

* "Adjunct-Free" beers: This specifically indicates the beer is made with no additional grains beyond the base malts.

* Check the ingredient list: Look closely for any mention of corn, corn syrup, or corn-based products.

* Ask the brewer: If you're unsure, contact the brewery directly.

Some popular styles known for not using corn as an adjunct:

* Lagers: Traditionally, lagers are brewed with just barley malt.

* Ales: While some use adjuncts, many craft breweries focus on all-malt recipes.

* Stouts and Porters: These beers typically have a strong malt profile that may be made with just barley.

Remember: Always check the label or contact the brewery to confirm the ingredients.
