Beer has been one of the staples in alcohol consumption since the earliest civilizations. In the present day, beer is more popular than ever and shows no signs of decreasing in production volume and revenue generation. Some of the most popular craft beer types utilize fruit raw materials in their production, including wheat beers, porters, high gravity beers, stouts and Lambics. There have been multiple sources published over the decades focusing on beer brewing and brewing science, many of which do cover fruit fortifications and craft beer production. Due to the increasing popularity of fruit-fortified craft beers, an updated singular source is needed focusing on the use of fruit raw materials in the brewing process for various types of craft beer. Fruit Fortification of Craft Beer extensively outlines the use of fruits in the brewing and malting processes for all types of popular craft beers, outlining the latest technological and processing advances. Various fruit material additives are covered as are their specific uses in the brewing process, their characteristics and processing methods. The main types of craft beers which utilize fruit additives are covered including their chemical profiles and nutritional aspects. A major aspect of this book is the linking of the past and the future, examining how fruit has been used in beer fortification since ancient times and how the technologies and processing methods have advanced with the increasing popularity of locally-brewed craft beers. In focusing on these advances, this work brings fruit fortification in craft beers up to the present, providing an in-depth source for researchers and brewers. .

Beer is made up of various bioactive substances containing antioxidants and specific ingredients with potentially beneficial effects on the human body if consumed in moderation. During the production process, the addition of hops, cereals, and malt leads to an increased content of naturally occurring antioxidant compounds in beer, mainly phenolic compounds. This book presents information on the history, compositional analysis, and brewing process of craft beers. It covers aspects of fruit fortification to different craft brewed beers and how it will enhance the nutritional composition, antioxidant properties, color, and sensory attributes of beers. The alcohol industry continues to grow quickly worldwide, and this book provides relevant research literature about recent studies and experimentation in beer, which will be helpful to students, researchers, industrialists, producers, and many others. The incorporation of fruits for the fortification of beers is a topic of interest, resulting in the need for more innovative and effective methods and steps in the production of newer variants of beers.
