Extra History第131季

剧情：

Beer has been filling human bellies (and making them regret it the next morning) for roughly seven thousand years now—so long we have to rely on archaeology for its first appearance. And along the way, it's changed drastically, from the communal bowls and straws of Persia, to the chewy, malt-and-berry filled brews that helped medieval monks through fast days, to the industrialized global might of Anheuser-Busch, founded by German-American immigrants in 1852. But along the way, beer has changed us as well. From serving as a clean source of hydration, to the advent of pubs, to kickstarting food quality laws, it's been with us every step along the way—and may have even, in rise of agricultural cities, helped found civilization as we know it.
