A Brief History Of Beer
The earliest evidence of beer dates back thousands of years, and goes back to ancient civilizations in Egypt, where it was brewed for religious and medical purposes.
In medieval Europe, beer was often much safer to drink than water (the water was often contaminated and led to illness). Monks were the first to discover aging beer in wooden barrels and they became skilled brewers in monasteries.
Large scale breweries were introduced during the industrial revolution, where beer production became more efficient and mechanised. This allowed beer to become more affordable to the masses and allowed beer to become more widely accessible.
Today, there are countless varieties of beer, from light lagers to rich stouts, and beer culture is celebrated around the world. Many people enjoy brewing their own beer at home, and craft breweries have become increasingly popular in recent years.
