The chemical evidence of the first beer has been dated as being from the time 3500-3100 British Columbia, and it has been found in Iran. In Europe, beer also has a history dating back to 3000 years before Jesus Christ. Initially, the beer was produced for domestic use, but by AD 600, the beer was exported by monasteries in Europe. In the Middle Ages in Europe, beer was consumed with almost every meal. Surprisingly, in England during this period, the amount of beer consumed an average of sixty gallons per person each year.

In the thirteenth century, Germany was able to make beer and jumped for the first time began to be exported in drums in large quantities. Hops in beer last longer, but when the content theitr was ordered by the law in England and other countries in the 1300s, it was designed with fierce opposition from those who felt the bitter taste of the distorted beer. The hops are still used today to give beer its distinctive aroma. It is the female cones of the hops used in brewing.

In medieval times, beer was brewed primarily in the operations of the house, but by the fifteenth century, small commercial breweries have begun to appear.

The yeast was added when it was discovered in the 1850s. The industrial revolution has changed everything about beer. The hydrometer (1770) and a thermometer (1760) have both been invented and revolutionized the process of making beer. Pale malt became the first malt used because it increased yields.

Beer today, especially in America, is the result of a significant consolidation of companies in the beer after the Second World War. Some large companies took over all the small brewing company and all types of beer, beer and light pale lagers, wheat beers and darker.

In the 1980s, microbreweries have begun to return with many areas of origin once again producing beers. The beer industry is one that seems impervious to the vagaries of the economy. The demand for beer has remained strong since literally the beginning of time, and shows no signs of abating in the twenty-first century.
