A Brief History and Facts about Beer
Beer traces its origins back at least 5,000 years to the Middle East, where it became an integral part of early civilizations.
In ancient Sumerian and Egyptian cultures, beer was even used as a form of currency. During the Middle Ages, the introduction of hops by monks transformed the brewing process, helping to create the beer we recognize and love today.
Over the centuries, beer has become deeply woven into the cultural fabric of many societies, and it remains one of the most-consumed beverages worldwide.
