Who can tell me about the history of beer?

Beer first appeared around 3000 BC in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (now Iraq).

This historical fact can be confirmed on the tomb walls of the king's tomb.

According to historical records, the production of beer at that time was just to make bread from malted barley. The bread was ground and placed in an open vat, allowing yeast in the air to enter the vat for fermentation. into original beer.

Due to the contamination of grain residues and bacteria, the taste of wine can be imagined.

In the 6th century AD, the method of making beer was introduced to Germany from Egypt via North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and France.

At that time, beer production was mainly carried out in churches and monasteries.

In order to ensure the quality of the beer and prevent the sour taste caused by lactic acid bacteria, the monastery requires that the equipment used for brewing beer must be kept clean.

In the 11th century AD, hops were used for beer by the Slavs.

In 1516, William IV of Bavaria proposed the world-famous "Beer Purity Law."

In 1480, centered in southern Germany, the following fermentation method was developed. The quality of beer was greatly improved, and the beer manufacturing industry developed unprecedentedly.

In the 1800s, with the invention of the steam engine, most of the beer production was mechanized, the production volume was increased, the quality was relatively stable, and the price was cheaper.

Around 1830, German beer technicians were distributed throughout Europe, spreading beer craftsmanship to the world.
