Facts: Beer
1.) The oldest known recipe for beer dates back to around 1800 B.C. This ancient recipe provides a fascinating glimpse into the early origins of beer production. It reveals that even in the distant past, people had mastered the art of brewing, utilizing ingredients like barley, malt, and yeast to create a fermented beverage. (I would have been screwed in Ancient Times. I can't handle wine and beer makes me violently throw up. Even an ounce and I am throwing up.)
2.) In ancient Babylon, if a brewer made a bad batch of beer, they were drowned in it as a punishment. To maintain high standards, a severe punishment awaited those who produced subpar beer, which leads us to some fun facts about beer. In a rather macabre practice, if a brewer made a bad batch, they were subjected to a punishment that matched their offense: they were drowned in their own flawed creation. Despite the harsh consequences, it is fascinating to see how seriously beer quality was taken throughout history. This harsh consequence emphasized the significance of brewing excellence in ancient Babylonian society. (Harsh, but understandable. They didn't distill or purify water. So, a bad batch could lead to more than the brewer's life.) *all fact were copied from the Amazing Facts website*
