History Behind Beer: Recipes Recorded by the Egyptians
No wonder beer is a favorite beverage of people around the world. It has become perfected for centuries. An interesting and informative blog is found on Heartland Brewery. “History of Beer” dates the beginning of beer back to the Egyptians. Reportedly, “beer is the oldest recorded recipe in the world,” with its process being found to date back to “around 5,000 B.C.”
Another possibility is that that beer has a history that goes back to 10,000 B.C. If the residue found in bowls was actually a beer-like beverage, beer was enjoyed many years before first noted. Or, it was just fermented porridge.
The Middle Ages saw an important use for beer. With water contamination being a life-threatening issue, beer was the preferred beverage of choice. The monks of this time period are attributed for beginning the perfection of beer.
It was their innovative processes that included “the introduction of hops, the idea of lagering, and cold storing” which helped to improve the beverage’s flavor. Interesting to know that “Belgian monasteries” are known for their breweries to this day. As we know, beer made its way into many countries, and it eventually arrived in America.
History of Beer in America and the Chilling Process
As the Heartland Brewery blog reports, beer came to America with the first European settlers. Interesting to know that the Pilgrims decided to land because they were out of beer. The first structure was their brewery!
In another article found on 52 Brews, you will discover the Europeans were not the first people to enjoy a beer in America. “The History of Beer in America,” reports that Native Americans also had their own recipe. It was the Europeans who truly moved the processing of beer to an “industrial demeanor.”
When you look at this interesting timeline of beer in America that began in 1587, beer was enjoyed warm. The introduction of lager beer in 1840 excited beer drinkers with “this type of bottom-fermented, cool conditioned beer.”
When was it that a chilling process was introduced to the making of beer? Found on Wikipedia, “Brewery,” “Carl von Linde along with others, is credited with developing the refrigeration machine in 1871.” Thanks to Willis Carrier, the first industrial size chiller was introduced in 1922 that has extended to a multitude of industrial applications.
