In honor of Brew Week we post this homage to that which we call beer. Beer ranks as the third most popular beverage in the world after water and tea. It is one of the oldest and most popular alcoholic drinks. The famed legal text, The Code of Hammurabi includes law pertaining to beer. The oldest evidence of beer goes back 13,000 years ago. This evidence is from the Natufi people in what is now Israel. The Epic of Gilgamesh from 2,000 years ago mentions beer in the text. People in Athens Ohio student apartments tend to consume large quantities of beer.

We call the process of making beer brewing. And we call that building a brewery. The ingredients for beer are water, a starch (usually malted barley), yeast, and flavoring such as hops. Though there are many types and styles of beer, the tenets of brewing are shared across cultures and nationalities. In the United States we have both imported and domestic beer. We craft domestic beer in the United States and imported beer is made outside the United States. Typically, imported beer is more expensive than domestic beer. They sell both kinds of beer at a bar or store near your Athens Ohio Student Apartments.
