It is well known that beer was created by the earliest civilisations and has been a large part of human life since ancient times. New studies seem to indicate, however, that the society was formed as a result of beer instead of beer brewing is derived from the birth of the society. It is a "chicken or the egg" question for the thirsty philosopher-which came first?
The increase in agriculture
Both civilization and bridging can be attached to one of the most important events in human history-the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture. Most archaeologists have assumed that the cereals have grown as a food but it might actually be that they have grown more for use in brewing than as a meal options.
One of the things pointing in that direction is the great effort to make edible grains. There are a lot of work for little reward. Add to this the fact that agricultural societies were very religious and held celebrations throughout the year and you have a recipe for early brewing.
In fact, ancient ritual celebration was part of what made society grows and beer were probably present as a religious element, as well as a social tool. You must remember that the celebration in early cultures were much more significant than modern "parties". They were used to create support for the various factions and create liabilities. For example, if you were invited to someone's celebration, then you were honor-bound to do the same for them.
Did beer civilization?
While the beer did civilization, it seems really helped its development. There are also some suspicion that the beer brewing actually predates the rise of agriculture that would make it one of the major factors in the eventual development of resident cultures and their corresponding interactions with each other. Therefore, while beer probably isn't alone in changing how ancient cultures lived. the beer process have a huge impact on the birth of civilization.
It was not our beer
Of course, if you could somehow transport you back in time to meet these early brewing would probably identify the product. In fact, there are very few similarities between ancient and modern beer than the use of cereals and the presence of active yeasts. If you would want to try a sample of it, it would likely be banal, vattniga and unenjoyable.
