Watch this video by Ian Collier on how beer is made.
Beer has been drunk since 4000 BC in Mesopotamia. It is made as a sacred beverage from grains but without hops. Centuries pass and beer began to evolve. During the Crusades the Europeans discovered spices and flavored the beverage with cinnamon and laurel. In the 15th century, hops were used as a spice giving rise to the beer that we know today. Today’s best tasting beers have surely come a long way before perfecting its irresistible taste.
