"I do not know the beer - not knowing pleasure!" Folk wisdom is very, very ancient Sumerians.

Date of creation and invention of beer about the same. The ancient peoples of Mesopotamia as early as the tenth century BC We know 70 different recipes barley drink. In Babylon, the king was a law Hurapi guarding the quality of the beer. For his watering brewer facing the death penalty: it drowned in a vat of intoxicating potion own cooking. The ancient Romans believed a beer gift of Ceres, the goddess of fertility and praised him in the hymns and odes. Scythian nomads had no idea of ​​the hymns, but the beer, however, was cooked better educated Greeks and Romans, as evidenced by the memories of the ancient Greek traveler Oracle. In short, the history of world civilization was not one of the people, not mastered, to a greater or lesser degree, art brewing (The only exceptions are avstaliyskie Aborigines and their island neighbors who soulfulness beer together with friends prefer some simple joy cannibal feasts.)
To taste beer ancestors with modern drink is not more similar than the bow and arrow with a Kalashnikov. No golden liquid with a mild grain spirit or snow-white foam caps ... so sticky muddy Vodice with the thick smell of sour dough. Even the bitterness of this beer - and that was not.

Bavarian hops
 - Notes Bitter beer, as is known, gives the hops, and in Europe about him never heard until the IX century. Put beer in all the small stuff: heather, laurel, broom, wormwood yes ivy. The first cultivation of hops do Bavarians. Since then, and he began the great glory of the Bavarian beer.
 - According to a German legend, the intoxicating drink invented the fairy king Gambrinus - the patron of brewers. He even had a real prototype - Duke Jan Primus, a passionate lover of beer. The composition of the "right" of beer (barley, hops, water) has been set, "Beer Purity Law" adopted in 1516 by the Bavarian Duke Wilhelm.
 - In Russia, beer was brewed very strong. Foreigners noted that the Russian beer is not popesh not upivshis drunk. Ivan the Terrible monopolized brewing, banning its production at home. Only two hundred years the peasants were allowed on major holidays (four days in the year) to brew beer for home consumption.

Not drinking sake and benefits
 - By definition, beer - drink low-alcohol, tonic and refreshing. Beer stimulates the appetite and improves digestion. Even in ancient times it was marked by its healing properties. Warm beer soothe toothaches and sore throat removed. Warriors rubbed beer weary legs in the campaigns. Beer otpaivali physically and mentally exhausted, were treated with the liver, kidneys, and even taken as a preventive measure against cholera.
 - Up to the middle of the XIX century in all hospitals in Europe to patients prescribed medication drink beer, and Russian doctors have traditionally administered the drink as a tonic.
 - Today, the benefits of beer argue. Some argue that beer prevents the formation of kidney stones, improves the immune system, restores the intestinal microflora, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Others say that beer - the cause of excess weight, reduce male potency and the development of cancer.
 - About potency conclusion was made only on the basis of statistical data that the Germans and the Czechs suffer from impotence 7-9 times more often than other people. Without any hesitation accused of the national drink - beer. They accused without proof, without any actual evidence.
 - In overweight beer and did not obey. As it does not exceed calorie fruit drinks and carbonated water with sugar (except for some dark varieties with high density). Another thing that forfeits Coke or barely drink a couple of glasses and beer and three liters in quantity leaks unnoticed.
 - And another thing: drink a beer is traditionally a good snack. Fried pork legs, peas with bacon, sausage, or sausage and bacon - a great snack to beer and, at the same time, the bombing of sculptural forms.

More beer, good and different
 - For real beer need three ingredients - water, barley and hops. Water in beer is about 90%, and therefore plays a major role. What makes it softer, more "soulful" beer.
 - Barley first converted into malt, i.e. germinated. This accumulates in the grain of different kinds of sugar, which is then fermented by yeast.
 - Barley may be partially replaced by other cereal raw materials such as wheat, as in the German "Weissbier" and "vayzenbire", or even, as in "vayzenmalze." Wheat beer is a two-stage technology (the second stage is carried out after filling). The result is a stunning drink with a light velvety taste and muddy sediment on the bottom of the bottle.
 - In general, the yeast sediment indicates liveliness and natural drink. This applies not only wheat varieties. For example, the classic barley beer Belgian monks "Shimei" also poured on old technology, no filtering.
 - In addition to wheat, malt to blended rice, oats, maize, millet, rye, potato flour, sugar. These additives, according to experts, & quot; It does not change the essence of the drink, but only adjust flavors & quot ;. For the production of dark beer roasted malt added to the sugar contained in it turned into caramel. The bitterness of the beverage is determined by the number of hops. The less it is, the sweeter beer.
 - In addition, all breweries have their personal secrets of getting the original flavor of the beer. Some malt beer fermented sourdough whiskey - then gets a taste, characteristic of British ales. Other technologies are on ice-rifing, in which the beer matures well chilled. This gives a completely unique flavor.
 - Produced and dietetic beer - alcohol-free, low-calorie, diabetic. Of course, it noble, but, in truth, a beer without a degree, both with and without the natural sugar-already not beer and carbonated drink that imitates the taste of the beer. These connoisseurs of such a product does not recognize: it is better to give up the beer at all, than to be content with his poor excuse. Nevertheless, always nice to have a choice, even if not quite equal.

Beer table
 - As you know, the main thing in beer - good company. And good food. (All there chips and snacks, hungry ever invented by the Americans to always something to chew, to beer to have nothing.)
 - Beer table should be solid and stout, strong economy as a German burgher. Women are recommended to drive away from him and call out only in cases of absolute necessity - for washing dishes, for example.
 - Drinking beer must long, so long as it does not end, not only in the refrigerator, but also in nearby stores. Just as ancient drink knights and monks, nobles and commoners will open to you in all its golden splendor and richness of flavor foam. Because it's not a beer-drinking and drinking, lifestyle and a good reason to meet.
