Beer is the world’s favourite alcoholic drink, consumed in almost every country where alcohol is legal. Begetter of pleasure, sociability, and companionship. It’s not just the taste and diversity of beer, or the buzz it bestows that makes it so extraordinary but it’s also beer’s superpower as an egalitarian refreshment that knows no borders. It is a uniting force and friendship builder, and the way to start a party. That’s how it has been for thousands of years ever since that first person sampled a liquid containing fermented cereal sugar and saw stars.
