Where did our modern innovations of civilization & language come from?

Beer



The Egyptian pyramids were built on beer. Stonecutters, slaves and public officials were paid in a type of beer called 'kash' – which is where the word 'cash' originated.

Furthermore, the advent of this beer economy created modern mathematics, as ancient peoples were forced to keep track of this new beer-based bartering.

Much later, tea & coffee created the first globalized economy.

But it's good old beer that invented modern man.

No wonder our world is so farked up... it's just a keg party that got out of hand.

Kinda makes me feel better somehow...

All the more reason to become a home brewer. I've been home brewing for about 10 years and judging homebrew contests for the past 5. It's a great hobby, you meet all kinds of great people and you're learning an important survival skill.

Home brewing is something to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon or with fellow brewers. I feel a certain feeling when brewing, kind of like "this is the way it's supposed to be," making and drinking beer.
