Which country invented beer?
Beer was invented in Egypt.

The origin of beer is closely related to the origin of grain. Around 6000 BC, Babylonians used pottery plates to carve beer for sacrifice. In 4000 BC, there were 16 kinds of beer brewed from barley, wheat and honey in Mesopotamia.

5000 years ago (3000 BC), the earliest ancient civilization to invent beer in the world was the tombstone mural of the ancient Egyptian tomb on the Nile, which proved this fact. There are three prerequisites for artificially brewing beer: first, you must enter the farming society and master the technology of growing wheat (barley); The second is to bake bread; The third is to cultivate beer yeast.

These technologies first appeared in ancient Egypt around 3000 BC, and soon spread to the two river basins. According to the historical records of ancient Egypt, the method of making beer at that time was to make bread with germinated barley, grind the bread, put it in an open jar, and let the yeast in the air ferment in the jar to make original beer.

The taste of wine is definitely not as good as it is now, because of the pollution of grain residues and miscellaneous bacteria. In the second dynasty of ancient Egypt, "beer" and "sweet beer" appeared, and beer has been widely consumed by the general public.
