Description
Do you know how beer has shaped culture and the world around us? Humanity’s love of beer has influenced us for 13,000 years. Priests used it in religious ceremonies, it served as payment for workers building the pyramids and it provided a safe source of liquid at a time when drinking water could be fatal. The world’s first refrigerator was also built because of beer. Beer helped scientists discover bacteria, while brewer’s yeast may one day help solve climate change. This book explores how the desire for the perfect pint has influenced the development of civilisations, scientific discoveries and political decisions. It also visits famous beer destinations, including Munich’s Oktoberfest, the legendary Carlsberg laboratory and St. Louis, the home of Budweiser.
