All Alcoholic Beverages are the result of fermentation with the use of yeasts (with either mold or bacteria to help convert what the yeast cannot digest into sugars and other things that yeast needs to survive). The big difference between them is how they're processed afterwards. Beer will be served or contained as-is, or be filtered and/or pasteurized to improve clarity and shelf life. Spirits are generally distilled, aged, and optionally filtered afterwards.
