Was beer really an accident? We were getting fucked up on fermented fruit for a long long long time before beer was a thing so I guess I always assumed we made that on purpose. But thinking about it I guess it makes sense that it was discovered on accident much like the fermented fruit.

Unlike fermented fruit, beer requires some processing by boiling the mash. I figure if someone was making porridge and forgot about it they'd end up with something beer-adjacent.

Did beer start with women chewing grains and spitting into baskets? No boiling.
