    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.

                                      He may also have invented the sparkling drink - joda.

                                        Well, then you go find the quote then instead of being a douche bag.

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

                                          Beer is mentioned in the Bible in a few places; it certainly pre-dates Germans, French, British (even Belgians and Czechs, those master brewers), etc.
