There's nothing quite like a refreshing pint of beer, but did you know there is 10,000 years of history in this glass? Beer has been poured since prehistory. Slurped by Hunter- Gatherers & Pyramid Builders, Pharaohs, Vikings, the Inca and the Irish. Chugged from jugs, horns, skulls, steins, and even through golden straws used to pierce through a warm crusty yeast cake. Yeap crusty yeast cake, we’ll get to that.
So what is the history of beer, how did it save humanity, and can a hangover be a religious experience? Well, Let’s Find Out.
This video was researched and written by Deborah Oliveira.

Jorge Washington, eh? 🤭
Feel like you should have mentioned that Europeans had to drink beer because all their rivers became polluted and undrinkable due to using them as trashcans an sewers for centuries
@@frostyalaska6371 poor sanitation and general hygiene, yeah.
You're very good at your job pal. Hope you enjoyed Ireland's victory over Wales with a ruby red ale in hand.
History of different sports would be enjoyable.
Funny, in a lot versions of the Gilgamesh story, Gilgamesh is a tyrant that needs to be taught a lesson. So the Gods created Enkidu to challenge him, but he was wild and uncivilized, so they sent Shamhat to civilize him. She fed him human food and gave him beer, but she also had sex with him for like a week. Scholars debate whether it was the food, drink, or sexy times that turned Enkidu into a human.
"Porque no los -dos- tres"
That was a twist
How about all
yes
Ahhh,... . Those indeed were the good old days!
So, essentially, my ancestors wanted to get drunk and because of that now I have to go to work.
I love how your videos always include proper world history! In South Africa we have an ancient traditional beer called Umqombothi :D
It's amazing how no matter where you go humans found a way to take food and ferment and drink it.
As a German dude, beer is like our holy drink. We’re allowed to drink it at 14 even!
...Flüssigbrot...! 😁
...liquid bread...! 😁
How many drinks a day do you say the average German drinks? I've only been to Germany once, and good lord did I get drunk under the table at some bars.
@@nothanks33 the beer is stronger there
@Brandon Martin at 14, with your parents permission
@@jewishmemesquad8885 that's weird, in most countries there's no age limit for in house drinking with parental consent...
Everyone knows the true history of beer; as told in song
"A long time ago, way back in history,
When all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.
He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
And to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
Tiddly beer beer beer."
❤
@@Pirategod23 A fellow Bards Tale fan or just know of the song from other media?
I would really love to see a video on the Ainu of Japan someday.
Brilliant video btw. Been wondering when you were gonna upload again but every single video by you is top notch so the wait is always worth it.
Thanks. The Ainu are on the list!
@@CogitoEdu so taking a vacation from covering anything directly related to India?
@@CogitoEdu yay!!!
@@CogitoEdu nice
@@CogitoEdu please do one on prejudice in india
Very interesting video and I also noticed the animation is a lot smoother, well done to the creators!
It is getting Kurzgesagt levels of production which is amazing to see.
I am not sure if you are being a little facetious about the origins of agriculture, but I am TOTALLY behind your theory of agricultural revolution. It makes MUCH more sense to assume the motivation of finding pleasure than finding the presupposed superior "civilization" I love it.
Thank you for your comment.
@@biomuseum6645 he's saying that humans would have had to have settled down to create the environment for what we, today, call "civilisation".
And he's saying that rather than people settling down and choosing to be "civilised" for it's utility (how would they even know it would be useful?) They could have settled down to facilitate entertainment instead; not necessarily in the form of beer.
It is an interesting speculation
Yeap humans settled down for a variety of reasons and even after settling down some groups went back to gathering again and others cycled between farming and hunting and gathering. There is no one answer.
@@CogitoEdu at the end they preferred confort and security rather than uncertainity and adventures
Ya'll are ignoring another important motivation: being coerced into it.
Finally a video after 4 months. Love your videos as they cover differnt topics and give details knowledge
Somebody's got to inform those details
Four months of “research”… for science. 🍺 🥴 🍺
“Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.”
― Martin Luther
That’s the most badass quote of all time omg
Thanks for all this information on our favorite beverages! I've seen your in-depth videos on coffee, tea and chocolate. Now you've done beer. Next you should do wine. Then after that maybe rice-based liquors, like baijiu and sake, potato-based liquors like vodka and rye/barley-based liquors like whiskey and gin. :D
Love a video on Wine History 🍷, Another cool video would be one made about rice, due to its rich History in Asian History and Culture
Intresting fact, Germany has around 7500 beer brands and all of them have different kinds of beers. This adds up to over 22000 different beers, some sources say even more.
Almost certainly more i don't know may brewerys that only have less than 3 beers as would be the average for that number
i would drink each one
it may take a few months but i'll get it done
@@funnyvidstoday101 psssh...months? Lightweight 🤭
That iron cross profile pic is very sus
😂😂😂🤣🤣 bro I'd just cracked open a can when I saw the title😂😂, it's good to have you back
Okay, the Spanish pronunciation of George was hilarious.
I am pretty sure that is not even correct. Unless I am remembering wrong, its spelt Jorge, not George.
@@timothyearhart7778 It is, but the name George is commonly translated to Jorge in Spanish. Also Portuguese but with different pronunciation
I'm a simple Czech, I see a video about beer, I click and like it
God I miss Czech beer, it was my favourite part about living there 😊
@@CogitoEdu I'm glad to hear that😄
A party with a lake of beer and a meat tree forest sounds like the most amazing party ever thrown! I know where I am going if I ever invent time travel.
Great video with very high quality animations. Many thanks!
I not only got to watch it here but I watched it about a week ago on nebula. Love it.
As soon as the video starts: "There's only one accent I can think of that would think of 'generic beer' being that dark"
Thank God you're back, been missing your videos these months.
Probably a small part that may have not made the video but interesting anyway,
Each state in Australia has its own beer and as far as I know they're all lagers, which seems odd for an English colony
That's not that strange if you consider that both Scotland's and England's number one beers are lagers as well, respectively Tennent's and Carling
@@Jokkkkke I did not know that, I always assumed largers were German and Ales English
Thank you :)
@@lachienicholson1510 The past few years England has been going through a revival of “real ales” with traditional and micro breweries expanding into the mainstream. I’d say the majority of people will drink larger and a pub will only have a few taps of ale.
@@gregoryspatisserie9858 love a smooth lager not that bitter ale
What are the odds ? Unbelievable . Your talkin about beer , and here i am drinking beer . Probably just coincidence .
I have been waiting for a new video for ages lol!
As a female brewer from the UK, this is a really interesting video!
An alewife! WITCH! WITCH!
Thank you for your service
Adding the "female" adjective is unnecessary. Typical Brit.
Thanks for the life story, toots
As beer guzzling and brewing beef farmer from NSW Australia, it is a really really interesting video!
@9m:30s when talking about Scandinavian traditions.
The word "Berserker" is actually originated from Scandinavian word "bar särk". Which translates in a way to "No Shirt" or "naked" in English. The berserker fought naked to scare off enemies. And to show how insanely senseless the warrior was disregarding his or her armor.
Vikings used hallucinogens and entheogenic substances. Mostly psychedelic mushrooms. But also flowers, herbs and nuts and berries. But the hallucinogens were used in spiritual rituals. Not with alcohol to induce bloodthirts and rage.
Loved the plug for Rare Earth at the end
Great summary on this topic! Obviously it doesn't cover some things but trying to stick all of beer's history into half an hour is quite a feat. I'll certainly be looking at some of those sources... ;)
Well, I had no idea that beer had such a rich and complex history. Nor did I know about beer's implications for human civilization and history (+pre-history). This video taught me a lot and blew my mind numerous times.
great videos cogito i really like these types of videos were people teach us about the histroy of different things that we eat/drink in our daily like it get us to batter understand the thing and how it is made
Cogito uploaded a new video? That means today is a good day.
I go to the pub to learn about beer but I can never remember anything from it the next day.
Fun Fact: While the opening scene was in development, all the characters were Cogito but bald.
Yayy Cogito is back! And now I want a beer. But I quit drinking 5 years ago and I'm not about to start again now. I still want a beer though. Amazing video as always!
A 1001 ways to die, by a Porter beer flood.
Czech Republic influence on the Pilsner can't be over stated enough.
To quote a little known show "Beer, cause of and solution to all of life's problems"
yey
we got a new vid pls do more cogito i love ur vids.
Covers so much ground in such a fun way! 😄
This video is a testament to the fact that people only become industrious when they want something addicting.
The red dye is from the purple Egyptian barley, an ancient grain grown in the region with high amounts of anthocyanin.
Didn't you mean to say "Slainte?"
YESSSSS It's a good day when Cogito posts.
Wohooooo! 3rd video where Guatemala is mentioned 😋 🇬🇹
Love your channel and as, Berserk sad, this bargain is too good! Support is a must 🖤
Glad you liked it. Guatemala is an amazing country and I'm dying to visit :D
@@CogitoEdu if you ever do, let me know! I'll be glad to be your host! 😃
this is type of content is very high quality why does this only have 50k?
The Reinheitsgebot Law supposedly came into effect to end the use of wheat in beer as too much was being used for beer, resulting in bread becoming too expensive. Although royalty still was still able to get all the wheat beer they desired.
Did someone say beer? I'm in!
Your animation is amazing! And accuracy, wow! You have done a lot of research. For example, even the Chinese characters you used at 9:06 are historically the ancient ones, not the modern ones. Hat off, sir! 🎩👏
Thank you so much 😀I was hoping someone would notice the writing eventually!
Don't know why I care about the history of something I will never ever taste but still interesting cause it's Cogito!
Alright, I'll bite. Religion/culture forbids drinking, or are you just not interested in trying it?
@@curvy4655 firstly, thank you. Secondly, it was a bet I made with my grandparents. I enjoy hanging around a good bar or party though!
@@seandawson5899 Well, can't say I've heard that one before... Still, good luck. Hopefully its worth the sacrifice :D
@@curvy4655 a man can find many vices beyond drinking! Haha
@@seandawson5899 Does the bet survive their deaths?
Hurray! A new video! 🥳
*few sec in* Mad lad is doing lip flaps!🤯
Beer used to be a raw and active food. Nowadays almost every big brewery pasteurized their beers before selling it- to make it durable. But many health aspects get lost and the flavour is not the same anymore.
Well, depends, in Czech rep non-pasteurized beer is kinda common in pubs in larger cities (and it is usually from the biggest brands), I still would not qualify it as food (it is pretty much just tastier version of the same beer). But as guy from Pilsen my opinion might be a bit biased.
@@SC0RCH3er Thanks for the interesting response! The czech beer you can get here in Germany is always pasteurized due to a rule that every imported beer has to be pasteurized.. but also most german beers are, unfortunately. I'll have to visit the Czech Republic!
That whole Ra animation sequence was fabulous
The first 4 minutes of this video are some of my favourite 4 minutes in youtube.
To be fair, this whole video is some of my favourite 27 minutes in youtube.
Beer is so rich in both flavors and history
Fantastic effort, thank you! I love making and drinking beer. There are so many aspects off your story you could make an episode with, prohibition is obvious, but I'm wonder if you could expand on the role of monks and the church in the brewing of beer and wines (such as the fabled tonic wine Buckfast) and how it is not always in keeping with their teaching
Thanks for the video! Next time do one about history of wine. Anyone will be interested, even if they have no idea about it
English "Ale" is reffered to the beer made of a top-fermenting yeasts. There are also bottom-fermenting yeasts used for regular lager light beers, also Czech pilsner or Baltic porter ;) Ale is used in names of beer styles like American Ale, India Pale Ale still nowadays.
Czech beer is the first beer ever!
that ending transition to the sponsor was perfect lol
on 3:11 I saw a tribute to the sid meier's civilization series.
fascinating video thank you
Dude your animations are getting really good keep it up great video mate!
Thanks, will do!
Here in the Philippines the word for beer is "serbesa", the local spelling of the Spanish "cervesa". The English word "beer" is also used here. Of course, the favorite beer here is a mid color corn lager called "Red Horse", made by the San Miguel Breweries. It has quite a kick, as it is 6.9% alcohol/volume. It's my daily beer! San Miguel also makes "Pale Pilsen" which is bitter and made as the name suggests in the Pilsener style. it's only 5% alcohol/volume. As well as the large breweries like San Miguel and Asia Breweries (their strong beer is called "Tiger Black"), there are also craft breweries. One of them has a beer called "Engkanto". That's the local spelling of the Spanish "encanto" which is "charm or enchantment", and there is a strong local belief in spirits called "engkanto" (male) and "engkantada" (female) that are found in forests and trees and rocks and streams and are known to enchant people, either bestowing good fortune, or playing tricks or causing harm. Maybe that beer is enchanting!
I think another important note to add that wasn’t mentioned here is that beer and other alcoholic beverages like wine were so popular in say the medieval times and before because of the fact that alcohol kills bacteria, so you could store it without it going bad, unlike water. The same is true about coffee and tea having to be boiled first. Having beverages like this allowed for safe consumption when ye old watering hole was always a gamble for diseases such as cholera. Loved having a pint to this video though. Raise a glass to all of human history!
The beer civilization connection may be accurate as the first evidence of brewing exists before evidence of agriculture.
The mighty Cogito returns!
Now this gets my watch time
Fun fact...Japanese sake is brewed like beer, which is fermented from rice sugar-starch! Making it a clear beer and not a wine🍻
Absolutely loved this video! Thanks for the hard work making this, it really showed!
I genuinely appreciate historical educational content like this on youtube
Finally got to watch this had to wait due to life but so glad
Savannah, GA also dyes the river green for their St. Patrick's celebrations
Welcome back cogito
You forgot the monks that created booze that ended the plague. Kinda a big marker in history.

Lov ya work
As a german and a beer lover, i would love to drink all kinds of Beer from ancient times. And i say Prost to all beer drinkers here
u have the cutest infographics
This is "a history" of beer, but not "the" history of beer.
Oh man Cogito uploaded a new video, amazing, whats more is that in 1 month extra credits will also release a series on beer
This is so interesting! I've been home brewing for 3 months now and it's fascinating to learn about it's history as well as to experiment with the brews and enjoy what I've made!
The berserkers part prolly influenced the witcher 3 games in the Skellige Island mission.
I just love the animations. The ducks building a huge duck was hilarious and cute
BEER for life, craft beers are the way to go for the future of beer🍺.
Chicha is a thing where I come from. I’m not from South America though. Central America. Honduras. Maya culture. We make ours with corn and pineapple. Mostly pineapple. Anyway, if packs one hell of a punch. The hangover is pretty epic too. It’s very popular among the country people. Takes about a week for it to ferment properly. It’s very easy to prepare though. You get some pineapple chunks, some water, some pineapple skins, a mixture you get when you boil, cool down and subsequently blend corn, and some sugar. Put it all in a jar, cover with a clean cloth, set in a dark cool place for about a week and you’re ready to rock ‘n’ roll!
Dangin heckin I missed you!
Brilliant video man
This video while drunk is amazing
DONT THINK YOU CAN HIDE THE AOE INFLUENCE FROM ME, COGGED MAN!

I like your cheeky take on things, subscribed.
Hence the tee shirt "Will Work for Beer."
Yay your back
Love this channel
11:00 lmao the mid west word for beer is bud light
Stein is the german word for stone
A lot of effort to make long form videos like this! Well done!
That part about Incan central planning was very interesting! Especially all those canals and everything they built on that system. I guess when everyone can access all the beer that’s plenty motivation to improve their productivity!
I love to learn like this 😅
Regarding the word for beer in spanish, many countries in hispanic america ended up receiving a lot of migrants from various european countries that added a lot of words to colloquial speech that led us to incorporate, among many other words, the term "Birra" in some american countries.
In the end it all came around for the spanish language.
This channel is underated
Another suggestion, perhaps you could do a video on the mystical practice of Islam called Sufism 😀
18:33 I`m confused, is there an ancient pound value?
