Don't you want to know... The Discovery of Beer?

Let's go way back to the dawn of time in this post, and talk about how beer is discovered.


History is plain boring, to me, maybe not to you, but to me. I've never once attended my history classes and during the O'levels my teacher doesn't even know who is this gangster taking her history paper. So I'm gonna summarise it so much, you have the rough idea how it is from, and we can all go fly kite later.


Beer brewing was started around 6,000 years ago by the Sumerian tribe, from Sumeria. Nobody knows how they start to know this beer brewing process, but what's interesting is they actually had a hymn, called "Hymn to Ninkasi", the hymn is also the recipe of making beer. What about Ninkasi? She is the goddess of beer, who provided the world the secrets of making beer, and she looks like er... this, with a fucking fermenter on her head.

"Satisfy the desire, Sate the heart."

(It's not really a fermenter on Ninkasi's head, just in case you're retarded and you believed what I said earlier.)

With pictograms (those pieces of earth which those ancient people likes to scribble on), they showed bread being baked and crumbled into water, making a mash, which is then made into a drink which makes people feel, "exhilarating, wonderful, and blissful!" It could be that a piece of bread or grain became wet and a short time later, it began to ferment into a pulp.

But nonetheless, to me, a beer goddess should at least look like some hot chicks, like these.

"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me."

So that's all for the history of beer that we need to know, not too much that you can hold a lecture on history of beer, nor too little as well. At least when people ask you, "Hey dude, how beer comes from man?" you can give them a satisfactory answer, which of course, let them know that you meant business.

So cheers guys!
