Man started farming barley in Turkey around 10  12 thousand years ago, and  beer soon followed.  It could also be made from wheat or maize or rice.

Wow! That is a long time ago! How has the process of brewing beer changed since then?

Beer is made from sugar, and in the fermentation process converts those sugars into ethanol, which gives beer its kick.

I had no idea that sugar was even present in beer! How many beers are consumer per year?
