Beer is one of humanity’s oldest prepared beverages, with origins dating back over 7,000 years. Archaeologists trace its beginnings to ancient Mesopotamia, where early civilizations fermented grains to produce the first brews. The Sumerians even worshipped a beer goddess, Ninkasi, and carved recipes into clay tablets. From there, beer spread through Egypt and Europe, shaping culture, trade, and daily life for millennia.

Today, beer remains the world’s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage. It’s especially popular in countries like Germany, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Belgium, and the United States, where beer culture is deeply rooted in tradition, festivals, and innovation. The Czech Republic consistently ranks as the world’s top beer consumer per capita, while the U.S. leads in sheer production volume, with thousands of breweries across the country.
