History of beer

Beer may have been known in Neolithic Europe as far back as 3000 BC, and was mainly brewed on a domestic scale.

 

Beer produced before the Industrial Revolution continued to be made and sold on a domestic scale, although by the 7th century AD beer was also being produced and sold by European monasteries. During the Industrial Revolution, the production of beer moved from artisanal manufacture to industrial manufacture, and domestic manufacture ceased to be significant by the end of the 19th century.The development of hydrometers and thermometers changed brewing by allowing the brewer more control of the process, and greater knowledge of the results.

 

Today, the brewing industry is a global business, consisting of several dominant multinational companies and many thousands of smaller producers ranging from brewpubs to regional breweries. More than 133 billion liters (35 billion gallons) are sold per year—producing total global revenues of $294.5 billion (£147.7 billion) in 2006. : wikipedia
