It all started during the Sumerian Era where the first recipe was in the form of a poem. The ” Hymn to Ninkasi” where they celebrate the Sumerian goddess of brewing. The brewing tradition was then carried on to the Eyptian Era. Beer was then one of civilization’s favourite and safest drink. Back in the days, water was not safe to drink as compared to alcohol where is was sanitized for safe consumption.
In the 16th century, Germany came up with the “Beer Purity Law”, also known as Reinheitsgebot. This purity pledge indicated that beer brewed must only contain a few ingredients which would be: water, hops, malted wheat, malted barley and yeast.
