      Ben Franklin was quoted as saying that Beer is proof that god love us and wants us to be happy. (maybe slightly misquoting here).

        In Canada, beer and god are both based on faith. Canadians just believe that what they are served is beer :rolleyes: [just doing my bit of racial jokes this morning]

              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.

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

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