Today we celebrate International Beer Day, which is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages worldwide. Apart from being one of the most popular, beer is also one of the oldest drinks.
Studies show that beer is the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea.
The sparkling liquid was first mentioned in a document from the time of the Sumerians - IV century BC. Sumerian beer was called sikaru.
Technology in the ancient Sumerians was used mainly as a way to preserve surplus grain, not as a way to produce beer.
Most likely the ancient brewers were women. They prepared the sparkling liquid on ancient clay tables.
Even the ancient Sumerians knew the healing properties of beer and prescribed the liquid for toothache. Over time, people discovered other healing properties of the sparkling liquid.
Currently, the largest brewery is located in the Japanese city of Matsushiro. The brewery offers a free mug to its customers in case they take shelter in the restaurant during an earthquake.
Three of the four best-selling beer brands are Chinese. Budweiser, Heineken, American and Brazilian brands are also in the top ten for the most bought beers, BNT reports.
The word beer comes from from the Italian verb bibere, which translates as drink. That is why most Slavic peoples call the amber liquid beer.
Today, most European brewers follow the traditions bequeathed by the ancient Sumerians. Beer production is a major craft in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, the Scandinavian countries, Poland, the Czech Republic and Spain.
The marking of International Beer Day was launched in 2008, and traditionally on the first Friday of August various interesting initiatives related to beer are organized. In California, for example, they organize a train trip, which includes a visit to 6 pubs in one afternoon.
