Europeans first to get beers in

Article Abstract:

Max Nelson, a classicist at the University of Windsor in Canada, told the inaugural International Congress on Beer in Prehistory and Antiquity, held in Barcelona, Spain, that the modern pint of beer was invented in ancient Europe , rejecting the most widely accepted theory that beer developed from ideas put forward by Mesopotamian brewers not long after barley was domesticated 10,000 years ago. Nelson noted that the beer that we drink today does not come from an unbroken link with the Middle East and that the next decade is likely to see an explosion of evidence about the history of brewing around the world.
