I've seen better heads on a glass of beer. Men invented various medications to treat delusional systems. |

Probably true. Why else would we drink?
Well I wouldn’t be interested in a “kiss of the hops” from a man.
And if you’re like me...not a beer drinker?
My dad explained it to me; women invented beer so that men would talk to them.
I don’t want to know where the yeast came from.
Whatever. I think the real thanks goes to Medieval German monks for their contributions to the development of real good beer.
“...up until 200 years ago, beer was considered a food and fell into the remit of women’s work. It was only then that men began drinking it and it became what is considered a very male drink.”
Please. We HAD to drink back then to make it through the day...considering the Cavemen we were married to, LOL!
Husband? It’s 2010. Beer Me! :)
Academic has claimed...
OK i do not have to read any further...
...and they’re drinking Spaten too. Looks like paradise right there!
Yea, pseudo-scientific revisionist history! Yea!
Up until 200 years ago?
Uh, no. That’s certainly false.
Samuel smith’s brewery in england was founded in 1758 by samuel smith...A MAN! England was exporting ale commercially in the 1700s and earlier to various places...russia, india, etc. These were male dominated ventures.
Further proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Yes, women were frequently the brewers, at least for the stuff drank at home, but to say men didn’t drink beer until 200 years ago is really bad writing...maybe they meant that staring about 200 years ago, beer became seen as a more masculine beverage....There’s huge amounts of history that men drank the stuff all over the beer-drinking parts of the world...(and evidence that at least some of the time, men were professional brewers).
I hate twisted revisionist history...
Wow, that’s sight for sore eyes!
Cheers!
No coyote’s there.
I was looking into a whole different thing about Greek times.
I dont know IIRC but I thought I read beer was considered ack for the Wealthy Men who drank wine.
It was the slaves who brewed and drank brews.
