      There was a discussion on the Germans, French and the British below. My question (maybe controversial) - Who invented Beer? :)

      Well, truthfully, I don't know. But I sure would like to shake his/her hand for all of the enjoyment I have experienced tasting that amazing beverage. :)

                            That's proof that Beer's been around since the 19th century.

                              Yeah, but I didnt Wiki it. Its obvious beer was first brewed where cereals were first planted, and thats the Iraq/Iran region. Its like wine. You need grapes first.

                                        Canadian (and American) beer is like sex in a canoe: f-ing close to water.

                                        What's the difference between Canada and the US you ask? In the US "Moosehead" is a beer, in Canada it's a felony.
