I dont drink beer, however I was watching the History channel this am. (so you guys can look up the segment under modern marvel brewing) and found out 2 neat facts:

The oldest still running brewery is in Bavaria, it has been in operation since 1042

And in 1814 in London a wooden vat exploded, causing a 25' high stream of beer to flood the streets....8 ppl drowned in beer, and dozens of other ran to collect the free beer!!!

That is all I know of beer as I dont drink much of it, had a Witches Ale once which a honey Ale and it wasn't to awful, but I will stick with my whiskey or Vodka LOL

Just a cpl of thoughts,
