Beer Brewing

by Joan Ellis

Beer is one of the oldest beverages in the world. There are
records of the Sumerians, the earliest known civilization,
brewing and drinking beer. The art of homebrewing and its
recipes were perfected during the centuries, as households
were brewing their own beer, using homebrew supplies from
their gardens or farms.

With the move to city life and the beginning of mass
production, home brewing was no longer as common. Only
during the last several decades, home brewing has become a
hobby of thousands, and quite a few have proceeded to
establish businesses based on their microbreweries, selling
their brew to pubs and restaurants in their vicinity.

Have you been plagued by uninformed friends and family members who swear that they know beer better than you?

Well, it’s time to tackle the top beer myths and demolish them once and for all.

Myth number one: Only men homebrew - women don’t drink or make beer.

Not true! Although there are a huge number of male homebrewers and beer drinkers, there’s also a large number of women who do the same - and this number grows every year.

Myth number two: For best results, you must bottle your homebrew inside of green bottles only.
