    It might have been Adam. After all, he needed time off from Eve. Adam may also be credited for inventing the first pub.

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

        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.

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

                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.

                                          He may also have invented the sparkling drink - joda.

                                          Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
                                          Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...
