This- more than the chicken and the egg- is the true question that's baffled historians for generations.

And along the way, we spend time with some innovative brewers, to learn the science and techniques behind actually making beer itself. - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going.   / otrontheroad   Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offther... - 0:00 - Introduction 1:15 - The Biggest Brewery in Egypt 4:05 - What is Beer? 8:20 - The Earliest Beers 13:40 - Master Gao and the Jiahu Experiment 22:16 - Sumerians and Babylonians 25:30 - Egypt 28:21 - Beer Across the Old World 30:45 - The First Social Drink 33:59 - The Battle of Teutoburg Forest 36:55 - Gruit 39:56 - How Beer is Made 44:44 - Hops 48:49 - Beer in the Middle Ages 51:10 - The Oldest Beer Brand 53:37 - Lagers, Ales, and Beer in the New World 57:38 - London in the 18th Century 1:00:44 - A Quick Beer Break 1:03:04 - Revivals and Innovations 1:07:28 - The Bavarian Immigrants 1:10:17 - Beer Comes Back to Asia 1:13:25 - The One in Front of You 1:15:54 - Breakthroughs 1:19:09 - Corporate 1:23:16 - Conclusion 1:24:44 - Game-Changers - Video Credits:    • How to properly pour the perfect pint of beer      • "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Demonstrates How...      • Bia Hơi Hà Nội Và Tinh Hoa Văn Hoá Dân Dã ...      • Aaron Rodgers and David Bakhtiari Have Epi...      • A Night as a Salaryman in Tokyo!      • The Cuckoo has landed: touring Mikkeller B...      • How to put a SHAMROCK on a PINT of Guinnes...      • THE CHINESE DRINKING KING PANGZAI (PART 1:...      • Drinking Made Easy – Portland, Oregon | Be...      • Life in Namibia Owamboland| How to Brew Tr...      • Bia Hơi Hà Nội Và Tinh Hoa Văn Hoá Dân Dã ...      • The BEST Pint of Guinness in DUBLIN! (Part 1)      • The Evolution of Homebrewing Equipment and...      • Peters New Job      • Chemistry of beer, part I: Malt to wort      • How To Brew Your First Homemade Beer      • What is Fermentation and How Does it Work?      • Ballad of Buster Scruggs - Saloon scene      • Hop Picking Upper Broomhall Farm 1994      • Hop Madness 2010: Hop Farm Tours and Homeb...      • Our TOP FIVE favorite aroma hops!      • 17th Century English Ale and Beer Brewing      • 18th Century Beer Brewery Walkthrough      • How to make Traditional Beer| Umqombothi      • The Working Man's Beer
