Beer barley - Beer barley

Japanese: ビールムギ - びーるむぎ
Beer barley - Beer barley
A biennial grass of the grass family cultivated for use as an ingredient in beer. It is also called two-rowed barley. In principle, barley ears have three spikelets on each side of the ear, but in two-rowed barley, the two spikelets on each side are degenerate. This results in two rows of grains, one on each side. Generally, the grains are plump and productive, making them suitable for use as an ingredient in beer. Other requirements for beer include a uniform, bright color, a high germination rate, and a low protein content. In Japan, beer barley is grown under contract with brewing companies.

Japanese:
ビールの原料とするために栽培されるイネ科の二年草。二条オオムギともいう。オオムギの穂は,原則として,3個ずつの小穂が穂軸の左右に交互につくが,二条オオムギでは3個の小穂のうち両側の2個が退化している。このため左右に粒が1列ずつ,2条につく。一般に粒が豊満で実りがよく,ビール原料に適する。このほかビール用には,色沢よく斉一で,発芽歩合が高く,タンパク質含量が少ないなどの条件が要求される。日本ではビールムギは,醸造会社と契約栽培されている。
