Beer has a pretty long history and a tasty one at that. It is one of the most consumed alcoholic drinks around the world and is loved by those who appreciate their drinks. You can also find some of the best beers served at a Gold Coast bar in the Backbone Bar in Tugun.

First discovery

The first discovery of beer dates back to just a few years ago when the first barley beer residue was left around 3400 BC. This was found in a jar at an excavation site known as the ‘Godin Tepe’. However, many people believe that beer exists in different forms.

There wasn’t any exact date or time associated with beer discovery. However, one thing is for sure: men in ancient times loved their beer a lot. The Babylonians have almost 20 different recipes for beer. The Egyptian Pharaohs demanded to be buried with cats, and some of the workers who built pyramids were paid in the form of beer. That says how valuable and loved beer was in ancient times.

The very first recipe formed of beer initially originated from a poem that is 3800 years old. This was found in the ancient Sumer, now known as Iraq. However, the perfect beer recipe might come from a quality Gold Coast bar like Backbone Bar, as it tends to be a favourite place for beer lovers.

How has beer become one of the most consumed drinks?

People considered drinking alcohol much safer than water in ancient times, so consumption was high. Babylonians drank their beer using a straw. The beer they drank used to be much thicker, and it was full of grain. The beer quickly became one of the most rapidly and quickly developing drinks, which many people considered the safest and the favourite drink of that time.

By the 16^th century, Germany’s “Reinheitsgebot” announced that everything except water, hops and barley from acceptable ingredients would be consumed, and nothing else.

The ancient Egyptians stabilised their beer and liked adding flavours like wild herbs, olive oil, and dates.

Cultivation of beer

For centuries and centuries, beer cultivation in Europe increased, but it mostly relied on being mixed with herbs, spices, and things referred to as gruit. It is nothing like what is served at any good Gold Coast bars, as things were different back then. Around the first millennium, hops were used in beer, also exported by Germany in the 3rd century.

Many centuries have passed, and beer has faced criticism over the years and has risen again. Backbone is a Gold Coast bar and serves the many beers that can’t be criticised, but the beer’s history is interesting to look into more.

The Backbone Bar is a fun Gold Coast bar, a relaxed, family-friendly place. They offer great craft beers on tap as well as in a bottle or can. One can always enjoy a good beer here and spend the night.

Conclusion

A Gold Coast bar like Backbone is great for serving good and fresh beer. It was considered a favourite in ancient times, especially mixed with many other ingredients. Over the years, beer has had quite a long journey and has finally reached an era where a wide range of adults appreciates it.
