8 Amazing Beer Facts
1. The first recipe for beer dates back to ancient Egypt. In fact, an ancient Egyptian prayer known as “The Hymn to Ninkasi” serves as a way of remembering the recipe.
2. Over 35 billion gallons of beer are sold each year. Compare that to around 46 billion gallons of bottled water being produced each year and you realize that we drink nearly as much beer as bottled water.
3. Drinking beer is not the sole cause of a beer belly. Being a lazy loser and doing nothing all day are causes of a beer belly. The term beer belly comes from the notion that beer makes us fat.
4. A labeorphile is a person who collects beer bottles.
5. A meadophile is a person who studies beer bottles.
6. In the late 1800s, brewing interests began to dominate the British parliament. This dominance is sometimes referred to as Beerocracy. The Beerocracy gained its money and power from the ownership of breweries.
7. Beer companies spend close to $1 billion a year on US advertising.
8. The first beer cans were produced in December 1935.

December 23rd, 2008 at 10:48 pmA beer belly is caused by beer. There’s a huge difference between having fat on your abdomen, and having an actual beer belly. Your stomach forms a hard, almost bone-like coating when you have a beer belly. This article sucks.
