In Episode 54 of the 5 Minute History podcast, we take a look at the long and fascinating history of beer, one of the world's oldest and most beloved beverages. From its origins in ancient civilisations like Mesopotamia and Egypt to its development into the many styles and brewing techniques we know today, beer has been a constant companion throughout human history. Join us as we explore how beer evolved from a simple drink made from grains to a global industry, shaping culture, social traditions, and the way we enjoy our favourite brews.
