Isn't it the oldest recipe recorded?

by Anonymous 6 days ago

Not exactly, but it is very closely tied with the recipe for bread, and the two are forever intertwined. Which makes sense because it is a way to use bread byproducts and preserve calories from bread making for longer term consumption.

Not sure if it's a joke, but I've heard a theory that bread was actually invented as a portable beer starter

And a theory that the process of making beer forced people to live in groups that led to towns then cities..

It is. and it was apparently by accident too. Though way back then it was sorta like a sludge then the way it is now.

I agree with your feelings about beer.

My opinion is far more unpopular: I think beer is disgusting. I'd prefer to take a shot or two then drink Gatorade or Coke. Anything but that yeast water.

If I have to choose any alcohol, I would choose a glass of fresh beer 🍺

I had a college buddy who was convinced beer and alcohol were the reason civilization took root and flourished.

Did your college buddy happen to teach at UC Davis?

Actually, I was wrong about beer. Fruits ferment naturally, hence discovered. Beer comes from cereals/grains and does not naturally ferment, therefore invented

I think beer tastes sour and musty so I would definitely have to disagree.

IIRC from world history in HS, alcohol(beer specifically) is a major reason why humans became sedentary and stayed sedentary in the first place. Had to grow the wheat/maize and then ferment it and then do it all over again when you drink it all.

Not even just that, beer / meade literally saved mankind, multiple times throughout history.

I dunno. Beet has caused a lot of problems.

Don't forget about pickles and mead! It's all about the fermentation

It brings people together for a good time. It also drives alcoholics to beat their families and drinking and driving is the leading cause of death for many demographics.

You should see if you can find How Beer Saved the World. Or something like that. It was a History Channel Doc from like 2010. It's incredible. Fake history but the history in choose to believe

Not sure the greatest seeing it does more harm than good but it is an interesting one

That's fair.

Alcohol is such a powerful thing. I've legitimately had some of the best times of my life drunk, but it also ruins lives, destroys families, results in huge numbers of deaths, is dangerous in the immediate and long term. It's just so awful and yet so beautiful at the same time.

Great doesn't inherently mean good, at least traditionally. Hitler and Stalin did great things, but definitely not good things

Absolutely not. Hard disagree.
