      Chapter 1: The History Of Beer

      Have you ever wondered about the history of beer? Well, this chapter will cover the history of beer from its role in mythology to its birth and growth in popularity throughout the ages. If you have ever had a question about the history of beer, then this is the place to begin!

      Beer in mythology

      The ‘invention’ of beer

      Beer in medieval times

      The migration of beer

      Modern Beer

      Beer in Mythology

      Throughout history, beer has not only played a significant direct role in civilization, but it has also played a role through mythology. A great many cultural groups had beliefs about the role of beer in their own mythological figures. Most recognized of these stories is the story of the Viking Valhalla. The Vikings believed that in Valhalla they would be given access to unlimited beer. They also believed that beer would bestow them with courage and strength that they needed when they ran headlong in to battle. It is not surprising that many of these drunken warriors were slain!

      Speaking of Norse culture, it was also believed in Norse mythology that Aegir, the god of the sea was responsible for brewing beer with his family to provide to the other Norse gods. It was said that the beer was brewed in a large kettle that was brought to parties hosted by Aegir, by Thor. Aegir served this beer with the help of two servants known as Eldir and Fimafeng. The beer was served to the gods whose cups would never be empty because they refilled themselves every time they were reaching empty.

      It wasn’t only the Norse gods who were said to have an interest in beer, in fact the Flemish and the Czech people both credited cultural icons with the creation of beer. The Flemish believes it was their king, King Gambrinus who invented beer, where the Czechs believed that it was their god of hospitality, Radegast who was responsible for the drink’s invention!

      It isn’t only the invention of beer that features in cultural mythology however, many cultures also accredit mythological figures actions with beer consumption, name patron gods and goddesses in the name of beer brewing and dedicated much of their oral cultural tradition to the statement of the origin of beer!

      The ‘Invention’ of Beer

      With so many mythological appearances of beer, it is obvious that beer has been around for quite some time...but where did it all begin? Where was beer invented and how did it come about?

      The truth is, is that there is no date for the invention of beer that we know of. What we do know, though, is that beer appears in evidence
