Did we build human civilization for bread… or was it actually for beer? 🍺
In this hand-drawn animated journey, we explore how beer literally shaped human history! From paying the pyramid builders of Giza to medieval witch stereotypes, industrial espionage, and brewing beer on the International Space Station—beer is far more than just a Friday night reward. It’s the engine of our settled existence!
