Beer. When most of us hear that word it brings to mind images of commercials during sports games, clear yellow bubbly liquid being poured slowly into a frosted glass while some man's voice informs us of how smooth and refreshing it is. For a good number of people this is beer. For a large number of people this is but one type of beer in a world filled with many styles. As one of the oldest beverages in the world it may be one of the most misunderstood. Dr. Max Nelson author of The Barbarian's Beverage a History of Beer in Ancient Europe helps us understand the impact beer has had on us over the ages and how beer is much more than just a one minute ad during a commercial break.
