How Beer Saved the World

Post by kingsbrew »

Did anyone catch this show Sunday night on Discover channel. It was very interesting about items that were developed for beer that have influenced our world. I especially liked the Egyptian beer that contained the "newly" discovered antibiotic, tetracycline.

If you missed it keep an eye for a rerun. It is worth a watch, or at least recording to watch when you have time.

Recorded it cos I saw it was gonna be on while I was out. Pretty interesting stuff. Also saw there was a "history or brewing" on history channel, but missed it. Maybe see if it's on hulu or available for download

Maybe the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others.

The one the thread is made for is the name of the thread. I can't exactly remember what the history channel one was called. A quick google search could yield the result I bet tho!
