                  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.
