The Earliest Beer Recipe

Beer brewing dates to almost 6000 BC. However, it was the Sumerians around 2000 BC who really loved the stuff. Their plaques and carvings often center on people or gods drinking from large jars of beer. A hymn to one of their most important goddesses, Ninkasi, is actually a very detailed explanation of how to make beer; this was helpful in a society that was almost entirely illiterate. Want to make some beer but can’t read the recipe? Just start reciting the hymn and you’re set. Beer was so important that the average Sumerian couldn’t be bothered to stop drinking it for anything apparently, as there is a carving of a woman drinking out of a beer jug in the middle of sexual intercourse. That’s some dedication to your booze.

    • this is from the discovery channel show "how beer saved the world" or something like that. the show talked about how if it wasn't for beer we wouldn't be where we are today. personally i find that to be nonsense. they said if it wasn't for beer there would be no pyramids.

      i personally think people made up all this nonsense to ignorant college kids could watch it while doing keg stands.

      @remanns: keggers are the epitome of stupid rowdy young adults, they make we want to kill myself. just saying.

      [ Beer or Chicha was very important for Incan festivals. They had large breweries devoted to making enough of the stuff. ]
