What makes a great tasting beer all comes down to the quality of ingredients used. A cheaper, poorer quality of brew will use less expensive hops in the brewing process and will use a cheaper method of fermentation, processing and even packaging. A higher quality beer will use prime processes of malting, milling, mashing, boiling, fermenting, filtering, conditioning and packaging the product, resulting in a smoother tasting premium beer. The basic components of beer include a source of starch, such as malted barley, which is fermented and converted into alcohol, a brewer&rsquo;s yeast that aids in the fermentation process and a flavoring agent, such as hops.

Russia is also the world's ninth most populous nation with nearly 144 million people as of 2015.
Extending across the entirety of northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans nine time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait.
The nation's history began with that of the East Slavs, who emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century.

Venezuela

Venezuela, officially called the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is a country on the northern coast of South America.

The territory currently known as Venezuela was colonized by Spain in 1522 amid resistance from indigenous peoples. In 1811, it became one of the first Spanish-American colonies to declare independence, which was not securely established until 1821, when Venezuela was a department of the federal republic of Gran Colombia. It gained full independence as a separate country in 1830.
