Manufacture of beer

NACE v2.1 Code: C11.05

About manufacture of beer

NACE code 11.05 covers the manufacture of beer, a widely consumed alcoholic beverage that has been produced for centuries. The beer industry plays a significant role in the global economy, generating substantial revenue and employment opportunities. As a key component of the food and beverage sector, the manufacture of beer is closely tied to the broader agricultural and manufacturing industries.

Production process

The production of beer involves several key steps. The process typically begins with the malting of grains, such as barley, to convert starch into fermentable sugars. The malted grains are then milled and mixed with hot water to create a mash, which is then boiled with hops to add flavor and aroma. The resulting wort is then cooled and fermented using yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. Finally, the beer is conditioned, filtered, and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the manufacture of beer include malted grains, hops, yeast, and water. Specialized brewing equipment, such as mash tuns, fermentation tanks, and bottling/canning lines, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting industries, including agriculture 01.11 (Growing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops and oil seeds), packaging 22.22 Manufacture of plastic packing goods, and logistics 49.41 Freight transport by road.

Production outputs

The primary output of the beer manufacturing industry is, of course, beer itself. This product is then consumed by individuals 56.30 Beverage serving activities or used as an input for other industries, such as the hospitality sector 55.10 Hotels and similar accommodation and the food and beverage retail trade 47.25 Retail sale of beverages in specialised stores.
