I want to do a brewery tour on my next vacay, A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer.

Brewery tours are really fun! It's neat to see how the facility is divided into sections, with each section dedicated to a certain step in the brewing process. It's fascinating!

It amazes me that brewerys have existed since 2500 BC beer goes way back!

It sure does! I'm ever grateful to ancient Mesopotamia brewers for developing beer! I wonder what theirs tasted like? Probably nothing like beer today!

Before brewerys production of beer took place at home and was the domain of women, as baking and brewing were seen as "women's work"

I'm glad they don't see it that way anymore! Western economies have relied on breweries since the nineteenth century!

Yes, I read  the oldest, still functional, brewery in the world is believed to be the German state-owned Weihenstephan brewery
