Beer, along with the wheel, ranks as one of the most important developments of the prehistoric era. Just like the pickup truck and the refrigerator hold those honors over the past century.

Weirdest trivia I've ever heard about beer: Ancient Egyptians thought that it had contraceptive properties. Yes, for some reason they thought it was effective as birth control.
