The Beer of the Month Club Walks You Through The History Of Beer.
The Beer of the Month Club wants you to know that beer is a fermented malt beverage. The word beer originates in the Latin word "bibere," which means "to drink." Ceres, the Greek goddess of agriculture, is the source of the Spanish word for beer, cerveza. The Sumerians in Mesopotamia were the first civilized culture to brew a Beer of the month. They called it a "Divine Drink" and offered it to their gods. The earliest record of beer is a 6000-year-old Sumerian tablet depicting a group of people drinking, with reed straws, from a communal bowl.
The Babylonians also developed the art of brewing beer, 20 different kinds. A 4000-year-old clay tablet depicts master brewers as highly respected members of 
Babylonian society. In 2100 BC, King Hammurabi of Babylonia , decreed the first written laws, including a daily beer ration based on an individual's social standing. In Babylonia , beer was never sold, just used for trade. If a saloon keeper accepted currency for beer, Hammurabi would order him drowned.
According to a 2000-year-old Assyrian tablet, Noah brought beer aboard the Ark. In the ancient Egyptian culture, there was a specific hieroglyph for "brewer," showing the importance of beer in their daily life. There is a medical document from 1600BC that includes about 700 prescriptions, with about 100 of them containing beer. Then Greeks taught the Romans how to brew beer, who in turn taught the Celtic and Teutonic peoples of Britain and central Europe .
