INGREDIENTS
 History of Beer
The intoxicant known in English as `beer'
takes its name from the Latin `bibere'
(by way of the German `bier') meaning `to
drink' and the Spanish word for beer,
cerveza' comes from the Latin word
`cerevisia' for `of beer', giving some
indication of the long span human beings
have been enjoying the drink. Even so, beer
brewing did not originate with the Romans
but began thousands of years earlier.
PPN (Pre-Pottery Neolithic) 8500 BC to
5500 BC
• There is some evidence that beer was
produced at Göbekli Tepe.
• The earliest clear chemical evidence
of barley beer dates to about 3500–3100
BC, in the Zagros Mountains of
western Iran. It is possible, but not
proven, that it dates back even further; to
about 10,000 BC, when cereal was
first farmed.
5000 BC Modern day in IRAQ
• The workers in the city of Uruk (Iraq)
were paid by their employers in
beer. During the building of the Great
Pyramids in Giza, Egypt, each worker
got a daily ration of four to five litres of
beer, which served as both nutrition
and refreshment that was crucial to
the pyramids' construction.
 Summerian
The original brewers were
women, the priestesses of
Ninkasi, and women brewed
beer regularly in the home as
part of their preparation of
meals.
Some of the earliest Sumerian
writings contain references to
beer, examples include a
prayer to the goddess Ninkasi,
known as "The Hymn to
Ninkasi", which served as both
a prayer as well as a method of
remembering the recipe for
beer in a culture with few
literate people.
2500 BC, Syria
The Ebla tablets, discovered in 1974
in Ebla, Syria, show that beer was
produced in the city.
7000 BC, China

A fermented beverage using rice and fruit

was made in China.

3000 BC
Beer was spread through Europe
by Germanic and Celtic tribes and it was
mainly brewed on a domestic scale.
1516

• William IV, Duke of Bavaria, adopted

the Reinheitsgebot (purity law),
perhaps the oldest food-quality
regulation still in use in the 21st
century, according to which the only
allowed ingredients of beer are
water, hops and barley-malt
