Beer is one of the oldest and most popular beverages in human history, dating back to the ancient Mesopotamians who brewed it from grains, water, and yeast. Beer was considered a divine gift, a daily necessity, and a source of joy and wisdom by various cultures, such as the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and the northern Europeans. Beer also influenced the art, literature, religion, economy, and law of these civilizations, as well as their interactions with each other. Join us as we explore the origins and evolution of beer in ancient times, and discover how this beverage shaped the lives and cultures of our ancestors.
