About Beer vinegar
Beer vinegar is vinegar made by fermenting beer or a beer-derived liquid. It is a pourable, acidic liquid, often amber to brown, with a sharp sourness and malt-like or beer-like aroma. Colour and flavour vary with the beer used and the fermentation and maturation process; the name does not specify a single style.
It is used as a seasoning in dressings, marinades, sauces, and pickling, much like other vinegars. It may be sold filtered or unfiltered and can differ in strength and residual flavour. These production differences matter: beer vinegar is not simply beer, and products made from different beer bases need not have the same taste or composition.
