Is it possible to learn the basics of beer in 2 minutes? Yes it is!
All beers have 4 main ingredients: malt, hops, water, and yeast. Malt is also known as the grains that make a beer and ultimately contributes sweetness and bready, toasty, or roasted flavors. Hops provide bitterness to balance sweetness from malt and can also provide various aromatics and flavors. Water makes up 90% of beer, proving its worth in the equation. And finally yeast is what actually makes the beer into an alcoholic beverage. There are two types of yeast and each contributes different character to the resulting beer.
There are 4 countries to study when you want to learn about beer styles: Germany, Belgium, England, and the Unites States. Almost every beer style in the entire world comes from one of these four countries. Finally, to taste beer, make sure to look at it, smell it, sip it, then think about it. Congratulations! That's what you need to know about beer to get started!

The main fear I have with American beer is that it will eventually get homogenized like every other American product. Chains sell the same blinking hamburger wherever you go. Fifty states mean up to fifty opportunities to create regional takes on food and beer. Would be nice to travel the states and experience something new at each stop.

? Macro & micro brewers?
