Nowadays, “forecast of taste” or “visualization of food additional values” have been gaining momentum in the food industry, which is conducted using analytical equipment and metabolomics profiling in many cases. Five beers (lager beer, lager beer containing rice, ale beer, low-malt beer, and non-alcoholic beer) were analyzed for classification. Shimadzu GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS were used for the analysis of hydrophilic metabolites in the beers that could strongly affect taste. We confirmed that beers could be classified from our work.
