Yes, beer, by all indications, was not created but rather discovered, thanks to a spontaneous fermentation of grains (or bread dough) that had been soaked by rainwater and come into contact with yeasts present in the environment, producing alcohol.
The first rudimentary beer was made, and since then, it has been appreciated around the world.

The earliest records of beer brewing occur here. It can be said then that the Sumerians were the basis for the learning process and for future production and improvements of the beverage.

Depending on how you dry the grains, you can produce beer with different characteristics. Historically, this phase has defined how the beverage would move forward from that point.

Beer was gaining more and more importance in the culture of civilizations. In Babylonia, its influence was such that it ended up becoming a currency of trade and a definition of castes.

With the Romans, beer gradually lost prominence to wine, which became the favorite beverage of the era. But, at the same time, it remained present within groups that appreciated the beverage and it gained new ground as the empire expanded.

In day-to-day life, women were the ones largely responsible for beer production – both as an artisanal activity and as a commercial one – in bars and breweries. They were the "brewsters", women who make beer.

And then came machines to improve the processes and produce on large scales. With the addition of the Scientific Revolution, it was possible to do more in-depth study of beer yeasts until, in 1876, Louis Pasteur discovered a variety that allowed for the creation of a light, pleasant beer style, which quickly became popular: Lager.

Now is the time of the cup. The wait is over. After completing a journey of millennia to arrive at the current process of careful preparation, which comes from the field to your table, beer can once again do what it has always done: be appreciated.
A toast to this beautiful history.
