The Tipsy Timeline

Glass Hole: History of Beer Bottles


Listen Later

This is the third part of our unintentional three part beer history series. In other episodes we talked about the history of yeast (see episode: Yeast Is People), we took a look at the discovery of carbonation (see episode: Ancient FOaMO), and now we’re covering…wait for it…bottles! Yes, we answer the question of how and when the first beer was bottled. We look at who invented it and why. How did World War II almost kill beer bottles? And, what does the future hold for our frosty bottles of brew?
