One more fun fact for everyone, the act of smashing your vessels together as a cheers is thought have come from Frederick Barbarossa, who would purposely slosh his drink into the tankards of those drinking with him so that if he was poisoned, the whole table would also be poisoned.
Even though I don't really drink alcohol myself, this has been a very fascinating series! Beer is a drink that truly has shaped human history as we know it. :)
Fun fact about Carlsberg: Jacobsen the founder, was obsessed with making Bavarian beer, but the yeast was impossible to get in Denmark. So the story goes that he went to Bavaria and bought some yeast and hid it in his hat with ice. Every hour he would have to get off the train and change the ice. People will do a lot for beer. Or so the story goes
Bit of a missed opportunity here: beer brands have some of the oldest trademarks, registered and otherwise, in the world. Pilsner is possibly the oldest registered trademark, dating from 1859. Bass Ale is the UK’s first registered trademarks from 1876.
@@Ambiorix33 Good point, but registered was the keyword. While brand names have been around since antiquity, an official government registry for those identifiers started in the min 19th Century.
“Louis Pasteur is one of the greatest scientific minds in Europe, and he’s turned his attention towards two things: Beer, and VENGEANCE” I like him already
The fun thing I find about brewing is just how scientific you can take or just toss stuff together to see what happens. I have been brewing mead for a couple years now as a hobby and when picking up supplies last week of course got chatting with the store staff and mentioned this series as something to check out.
Anheuser-Busch is now known as part of the name AB InBev, one of the biggest producers in the world due to being bought by the InBev group in 2008, itself a merger between Interbrew (Belgian) and AmBev (Brazilian) since 2004. Its sheer size might make something to delve into the Lies-episode, as it has not been without controversy (Anti-trust laws in Europe, surprisingly low taxes locally, etc.)
Wtf. Here in France we get told at our youngest age how Pasteur invented pasteurization, disproving that living things just spawn out of nowhere. Big national hero here.
Had to create a class about beer for my English teaching job and man, this video series was determinant on the elaboration process, thank you so much for it!!!
@@extrahistory nice video and here s in my country Croatia 🇭🇷 we are drinking beer too its Ožujsko pivo, Karlovačko pivo, Osječko pivo, pan pivo and Vukovarsko pivo and prvo hrvatsko pivo 🥰😇🇭🇷
This was so awesome! Kinda wish there was a final episode on the craft beer revolution that started in the late 70s, but that might be too recent for you all; anyways really enjoyed these episodes!
This series has been so much fun to watch! And not just for me. I got my mom in on the fun around episode three. She has worked for Anheuser-Busch for the past 20 years as an IT specialist and was the one who originally convinced me to that history/chemistry class about beer. That class kicked started my growing fascinated with chemistry and now I'm an Analytical Chemist for a Flavor Company that partners with several major breweries. Funny how things worked out that way. And I owe it all to that odd class about one of the world most fascinating of drinks. So, raise a glass with me; as we toast the long and wild history of beer.
Meanwhile, I'm disproportionately happy that the Polish community in Harbin got a quick mentioning at 1:50. Not many people know about it, even in Poland.
I live near a brewing company that from what I learned was the first one to start brewing after prohibition ended, the owner of the company was in Washington DC when legislation was repealed and notified his company to start brewing again. I don't think its very popular outside of New York but I really love my Saranac.
You have to tell the tale of the Peter Hand Brewing Co. in Chicago. It developed Meister Brau, the top selling brand in Chicago in the 60's. It was very innovative. It developed the first Draft Beer in can, using Millipore filtration instead of pasteurization. Then it developed Lite Beer, which was lower in calories and directed at the female market. Peter Hand over-extended itself financially, and went bankrupt. THEN....Miller Brewing Co. of Milwaukee swooped in and bought the formulas and brands for canned draft beer, and Lite Beer. And thus was born Miller Draft Beer, and Miller Lite. Innovative marketing made those brands big winners, and made Miller the biggest brewery in America. I know all this is true. I worked at the Brewery every summer going through college.
This is mostly correct, however Hand didn't develop the light beer recipe they used. They bought it/got it from Rheingold (look them up sometime, a super interesting brewery and a significant pioneer in mixed-race advertising), a brewery out of NYC after they tried marketing it as a Diet Beer called Gablinger's, and it failed about as hard as "Diet Beer" probably sounds like it would in the 60s. Meister Brau Lite though was the first real attempt to take it national though
@@brenanconroy4052 I was a bottler at the Meister Brau Brewery when they introduced Lite Beer. I had not idea they got the formula from someone else. Never heard of Gablinger's. It was when Miller got hold of it, though, that they made marketing history. They had Mean Joe Greene say "Less Filling", implying you could drink more of it. Then it became a top selling beer in the US.
As a life long teetotaler, all the various descriptions through this history of beer series actually makes alcohol sound tasty. I've only sampled things like Miller and pilsners, not finding bitterness to my liking.
As a Belgian, I'm quite sad we didn't make this entire video series even once. Belgium is one of the most famous beer brewing countries in the world, yet we're not even mentioned? That's just sad. :-( You could've mentioned the Belgian beer styles, or the Lambic or Kriek bier or the Trappist. Nothing? :-(
funny thing is, the last company he mentioned got bought out by Inbev in 2008. Making the Belgians the (silent) kings of beer :p so besides the cultural aspect the economical part was also missing :p
My theory: Belgium beers are so good that those who drink it don't want to stop. And so they have no time left to meaningfully impact history. No revolutions, no major immigration to the USA, etc.
@@I0H0II0H0I I know right ! More than one in four beers sold in the wolrd are Inbev's! It's amazing that they didn't even mentionee it, not even as a foot note
It might be interesting to do a follow up video on craft beer and it's explosion in popularity. Craft beer uses small batch sizes plus modern scientific beer to create a significant amout of variation. It was popularized as a rejection to macrobreweries that often made low-quality, mass produced beers. I think it would be important to add because craft beer went from virtually unknown to being in every grocery store within the last few decades.
I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and craft beer, wine, and "pipeweed" are cultural staples. I like to think we are the closes thing to a real life Shire, Tolkien himself would be proud. See ya'll at the tavern!! 🍺🍻
I wish you expanded a bit more on the Budweiser controversy. How they stole the name from a popular beer from Europe, trademarked it forcing the already established brewery to start selling their’s under a new name or not at all in the USA.
In the present day, the Micro-Brewery craft beer holds sway. I love my local beer, from Cincinnati’s Brink brewery to Columbus’s Wolf’s Ridge Coffee Cream Ale.
As a life-long resident of the Greater Milwaukee Area, I feel the need to plug our tourism industry just a bit; A ton of the breweries here offer tours of their facilities. So if you're ever in the neighborhood, check them out!
another small fact, during world war 2, beer was one of the few things that wasn't rationed in Briton, therefor being one of the drinks that allowed them to keep going
"We haven't talked about the United States much in this series, partially it's because for thousands of years it didn't exist. *Amazing, I know.*" This part of the video, and specifically the end, is the most I've laughed from one of your videos in a short while. They way you delivered the end part really hit me and had the laughter rolling out of my lungs.
You missed a big one: Ronald Fisher of the Guinness brewery in Dublin revolutionized the entire field of statistics - inventing the t-test, which gave rise to the statistical tests still used in experimental research today. He is the 'Student' in the Student t-test (Guinness would only let him publish his statistical papers on the condition that he not use his real name, so competitors wouldn't realize it was his scientific testing that was giving rise to consistency in Guinness stout. So he published under the pseudonym 'A. Student'. )
Its crazy to me that i worked with nearly every beer company in this video since the company i worked for is the leader in bottling and works with basically every company that fills something in bottles
One thing I liked about this series, was how you managed to get in all of the introductions to the major modern brewers we know today. I had fun trying to guess the company prior to you guys announcing which company it was despite me knowing litterally nothing about beer, or alcohol itself (I rarely drink, and if i do i prefer ciders anyway)
I kinda feel it was a shame you missed the part when Anheuser-Busch sued the Budweisser brewery in Budweiss for using their name and lost since they basically stole the name so they had the bribe the original Budweisser with an unknown amount to change their name to Budvar. I have no idea how they thought going to court over that was a good idea but it is comedy gold. :)
I commented last time about Guinness, But Sapporo has to be my second favorite. I like Heineken but only the canned kind, the bottled kind in the US has an off taste.
Im surprised you didn't mention that the town of Budweis in the Czech Republic also has it's own version of Budweiser (called Budweiser Budvar) and they had a trademark dispute with the American beer company
Ah international trade disputes. Always funn... That reminds me of a fun little tidbit: Did you know that you won't find any Pilsner beer in switzerland? There's a agreement between switzerland and then czechoslovakia that switzerland won't use the Pilsner brand name, and czechoslovakia won't use the Tilsiter brand name for cheese. That probably made czech brewers and swiss cheese makers happy, but I doubt that swiss brewers and czech cheese makers got much out of that deal...
The genuine shock I had when I realized my ancestors on board the mayflower freaking landed just because they were out of beer! I literally said “America was always full of a bunch of alcoholics” Truly had an ancestor on board
Not mentioned is that before prohibition passed in the USA, New Jersey produced nearly 1/4 of the world's hard apple cider. However, because of prohibition, it has been killed and hasn't recovered. College students from one of the southern colleges in Jersey (Rowan or Rutgers) are looking into bringing back hard apple cider.
I doubt you could distinguish any of those beers in a blind taste test, as they're all just cheap, crappy pale lagers. Japan has a great microbrewery scene; I'd suggest trying Hitachino Nest or Yo-Ho.
Fun fact. Couple of the Breweries that still exist in Wisconsin made it out of Prohibition in clever ways Leinenkugles Brewery in Chippewa Falls switched completely over to soda/soft drinks While Point Brewery in Stevens Point WI actually dropped the beer label and continued to sell it as beer nationally lol Wayne Wheeler would’ve sent the lions on that one 🤣

Wtf. Here in France we get told at our youngest age how Pasteur invented pasteurization, disproving that living things just spawn out of nowhere. Big national hero here.
