What These Profiles Represent
For U.S. federal labeling purposes, TTB regulations treat beer as fermented from malt or malt substitutes and define malt beverage classes such as beer, ale, porter, and stout. That regulatory context is useful for labeling review, but DUI Professional keeps the subtype as a database grouping rather than a legal conclusion about any particular product.
Beer history is older than modern brand categories. Britannica describes beer as an alcoholic beverage made by extracting raw materials with water, boiling with hops in usual modern practice, and fermenting; its account ties early beer production to grain-based brewing in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt.
NIAAA uses 12 fl oz of regular beer at about 5% ABV as one common U.S. standard-drink example, based on 0.6 fl oz of pure alcohol. The active DUI Professional Regular Beer profile set is close in serving size but averages 5.60% ABV, 12.01 fl oz, and 1.121 standard drinks, so the page reports those as database averages only.
The active public profile set spans domestic, imported, regional, and craft beer records. Manufacturer and brand summaries below are derived from live producer information counts and official producer or corporate sources; the geographic map uses manufacturer or production-location information, not consumer popularity.
