Are you a beer fan? I prefer the European beverages
No, but OH MY HUSBAND IS!!  It's the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drink in the world - so you have a lot of company!
I did not know that. I wonder where it originated?
Some of humanity's earliest writings refer to the production and distribution of beer - there is even a mesopotamian goddess of beer!  
Wow that's incredible! A variety of cultures seem to have alcoholic gods
ha!  Beer dates back to at least the 5th millennium BC in Iran - was recorded in written history of ancient Egypt even - so it's been a staple for a LONG time
That's incredible. I wonder if the history of wine is similar
I'm not really sure on that, although wine does actually have legal definitions that define syles and qualities of wine.
