You can add different flavors to it such as mint, citrus etc. This is a very cheap beer to brew.

The second choice can be Lagers Most of the lagers have a crisp taste and can range from very light to very dark as per the brewing process. This beer goes well with spicy, Indian and Mexican foods.

The stouts are third in place Stouts are very dark full-bodied type of beer and have a flavor very similar to the coffee. They can be brewed in other flavors like sweet, bitter, milk, and even oatmeal. Chocolate Stout is a safe beer to brew by the beginners.
