    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? :)

      Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.

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

                                    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.
