What is the history of beer? How old is beer?

A brief history of beer:

a) Beer originated in ancient Egypt 4000 6000 years ago.

of the Nile.

b) Characteristics of the original form of ancient beer:

i.Cloudy sake made by natural fermentation with yeast in the air. (present-day Belgium.)

Germany) iiNo hops.

And with different kinds of spices and herbs. You can add sugar, lemon, and self-drinking.

c) The first countries to use hops were Egypt and Germany, and it was not until the fifteenth century that it was determined that beer should be hopped.

d) 1850 During the 1880s: Pasteur of France established the physiological view of microorganisms, concluded that the essence of fermentation is a chemical change carried out by microorganisms, and founded the Pasteur sterilization method.

e) Denmark in 1878.

Hanson's established a pure culture method for brewer's yeast, and the freezer began to be used.

f) Beer is the most produced alcohol, with the largest in the United States (23 million tonnes-year) and the most consumed in Germany (180 litre-years).

Beer is the oldest alcoholic beverage of mankind and is the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea. Beer was introduced to China in the early 20th century and is a foreign alcohol. Beer is based on the English beer translated into Chinese "beer", called "beer", which is still used today.

Beer is made from barley malt, hops, and water as the main raw materials, and is brewed by yeast fermentation, which is a low-alcohol liquor full of carbon dioxide.

At present, most of the international beers are added with auxiliary raw materials. Some countries stipulate that the total amount of auxiliary raw materials should not exceed 50% of the amount of malt. In Germany, except for the export of beer (German:

Bier) does not use auxiliary ingredients for beer sold in Germany. In 2009, Asia produced about 58.67 million kilolitres of beer, surpassing Europe for the first time to become the world's largest beer producer.

In 1900, Russian technicians established a beer workshop in Harbin, China, for the first time, and the Chinese began to drink beer. In 1903, the British and Germans built the Anglo-German Brewery in China, which was the predecessor of the Tsingtao Brewery.

Records of beer can be traced back to 3,000 B.C. in Mesopotamia, where beer was called kas, or "what the mouth craves", made by crushing beer bread baked from malt flour and mixing it in water, and then fermenting it naturally with wild yeast.

The Sumerians stumbled upon the fact that when wild barley and wheat were soaked in water, they would become a slimy paste, and in the open air, yeast would naturally ferment and produce foam, and the color would gradually deepen, and those who drank it would feel delicious. In order to be able to drink this delicious liquid regularly, the Sumerians consciously harvested wild grains in large quantities and kept the seeds, experimenting with artificial cultivation.

The ancient Egyptians too, beer was paid as a reward to the workers who built the pyramids. Both Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations had beer before the invention of writing, and it is not clear which was the place of origin.

The Mesopotamian Plain is a two-river basin in the Middle East, also known as the Plain of the Two Rivers. It is an alluvial plain located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The plains of the two river basins stretch from the northwest to the southeast, resembling a crescent moon and are known as the "fertile crescent".

In ancient times, agriculture was developed in this area, and the convenience of irrigation, rivers and canals, and fertile land. When the glaciers receded about 10,000 years ago, patches of weeds appeared, first in the "fertile crescent zone", where humans began to discover that some weeds could grow larger ears and more starchy grains for consumption, namely various grains, including wheat, barley, and oats. In these original barley-growing areas, the earliest beers were found, such as the Sumerian stone carvings of beer brewing and drinking scenes, and the remains of beer around the Egyptian pyramids.

In fact, in the past half century, many discoveries have been made around the research on the origin of agriculture, which also confirms the hypothesis that the beginning of agriculture and even the birth of urban society or human civilization are indeed related to beer.

Beer was first recorded in ancient Babylonian sacrifices and has a history of more than 8,000 years. Humans have been using grains to make alcoholic beverages for more than 8,000 years. The oldest alcoholic document is the sacrificial beer made by the Babylonians from clay tablets around 6000 B.C.

The earliest evidence of human beer consumption appeared in northern China 9,000 years ago. At that time, the raw material for making beer was not malt.

Made with hawthorn, Chinese wild grapes, rice, and honey, this ancient beer is the oldest known brewed drink in history, older than wine.

Beer has a history of more than 100 years. Tsingtao Beer is one of the oldest and most famous beer brands in China, founded in 1903.

With a history of 6,000 years, it was the Sumerians who lived in the Mesopotamian region who brewed the original beer from barley malt as a sacrifice to the goddess.

In August 1903, the first brewery built with European technology was born in the ancient land of China, the Qingdao Company of Germanic Beer Joint Stock Company. It's been about 107 years now.
