The wort which is formed by after process of malting is boiled for about an hour while other spices such as Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are added to beer. Then Hops, green cone-like fruit of a vine plant is added to provide some bitterness to the beer with balancing sugar and providing flavor. Hops also act as natural preservative for beer.

After waiting for weeks you got an alcoholic beer, however it's still flat and uncarbonated. The process of carbonating may be like soda (artificial) or naturally carbonate via yeast which produces CO2. Now enjoy your delicious drink.
