In the alcoholic beverage industry, congeners are substances produced during fermentation other than the desired type of alcohol (ethanol). These substances include small amounts of chemicals such as methanol and other alcohols (known as fusel alcohols), acetone, esters, and aldehydes (e.g., acetaldehyde).
