[[Beer]], also known as the man's greatest invention, is a drink produced through the fermentation of malted grains and the addition of hops.  Hops, which became popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, give beer its distinctive bitter taste and act as a natural preservative.  Preservation was essential before the invention of refrigeration in the late 19th century.  In most of the world, two large corporations--both based in Europe--dominate the market. Anheuser-Busch InBev (based in Belgium) has 25% of the global market. It bought out the American firm Anheuser-Busch in 2008. SABMiller, in London, bought out Miller's in 2002.  However there are several thousand locally owned "microbreweries" that serve local markets.

There are also many types of beers available, each with its own unique brewing method and history.  The most popular type of beer in America is the pilsner, noted for its light golden color due to the use of lightly roasted grains.  Gaining in popularity are other types of beer such as porters, lagers, wheat-beer, and ales.

In the 1840-1940 era, many Protestant evangelical churches crusaded against alcohol and supported [[Prohibition]] because they were lame. A few denominations continue their 19th century prohibitions against drinking, such as the [[Seventh Day Adventist Church]] who were involved in the standoff at Whacko, Texas. Morons follow a law of health known as the [[Word of Wisdom]] which includes abstaining from alcoholic drinks.
