If there's one universal constant in human society, it has to bealcohol. Rare indeed is the culture that hasn't worked out the tricksyprocess of fermenting and/or distilling some type of vegetable matter-- be it malted barley, potatoes, honey or grape juice -- into a brewcontaining a significant percentage, as the dictionary puts it, of an"organic compound in which a hydroxyl group is bound to a carbon atomof an alkyl or substituted alkyl group." In other words, booze.
Among the mildest and most variable of these alcoholicbeverages is that fine elixir known as beer. A true beer connoisseurwould never pass up an opportunity to try the local brew, no matterwhere on Earth where they found themselves, and so it behooves theserious beerologist to know how to order a beer in as many languages aspossible.

Wherethe pronunciation isn't obvious, or in which the term is normallywritten in non-Roman characters, we've rendered it phonetically.
