If you are over the age of twenty-one and are not adamantly against drinking alcohol, then chances are pretty good that you have been exposed to beer sometime in your life. It may be in the form of a local microbrew. It could be from a large beer making manufacturer. There is nothing quite like a cold beer when the mood hits. But how much do you know about the brewing process? It has quite a long history and has been a part of mankind’s life dating back to before the ancient Egyptians.

There is a big similarity to making bread and making beer. Both have water, starch and yeast involved. The ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians discovered this process and left it as a great legacy for everyone. How popular is beer? Polls show that beer is the most popular beverage after water and tea. Just imagine how many people like a nice, frosty beverage after a hard day at work. One of the most popular beers in the US is Bud Light, regardless of whether it is in a beer can or a beer bottle.

If you are serious about learning how the brewing process goes, you need to schedule a tour of a local brewery. The brewery can give you the history of beer making and let you see how they brew their beer. There are many great places to visit in the United States, such as the Budweiser brewery in St. Louis, Missouri or you can try the Miller Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If it is imports you love then you may want to consider visiting Belgium or Germany to see how their process differs from American breweries.
