Sugar in Beer

To start our learning process, it’s safe to say that beer does have sugar but not in that sense. As we all know, sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrate and is made up of different types. Beer has two different types of sugar, which are disaccharides and oligosaccharides.


The disaccharides in beer, also known as maltose, are the fermentable sugar that is converted into alcohol during brewing. It takes up to 80% of the beer, while the other 20% is the oligosaccharides.


The latter is a type of sugar that the body cannot digest, so it doesn’t hold as much weight as other types of sugar. However, it contains many prebiotic fibers, which are suitable for our gut.


If you’re checking through the list of ingredients, you may see no sugar there. This might confuse you, but know that the sugar in beer is produced by the barley malt ferment or beer gravity.
