#HistoryOfBeer #Mesopotamia #AncientBrews #BeerLovers #BrewingHistory #BrainBeatsWelcome back to Brain Beats! Let’s raise a glass to one of humanity’s greatest discoveries: beer. Where did it start? Well, that’s where things get foamy.

About 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians in Mesopotamia were brewing up a storm. Their beer was thick, unfiltered, and more like drinkable bread. It was so important they wrote hymns to their beer goddess, Ninkasi.

Meanwhile, Egyptians brewed beer from barley and emmer wheat, fueling pyramid builders and doubling as currency. Imagine getting paid in six-packs instead of coins.

But plot twist: Neolithic China has us all beat. Archaeologists found evidence of fermented rice, honey, and fruit dating back 9,000 years. Turns out beer might’ve been invented there first—and independently.

Today, the legacy lives on. Egyptian-inspired beers like Saqqara, Chinese rice-based huangjiu, and Mesopotamia’s brewing methods all shaped the styles we love.
