How Beer Saved the World

How Beer Saved the World takes a closer look at the critical role beer has played throughout the course of human history. It explores the most likely origins of the beverage, from its early beginnings to the development of a special type of beer designed for zero-gravity space missions.

Scientists and historians are interviewed to provide a clearer picture of how beer has influenced some of the major events in human history, including the construction of the pyramids in Egypt and the evolution of modern medicine. The documentary also examines how beer contributed to the creation of certain labour laws in America. Furthermore, it challenges the notion that beer is merely an entertainment beverage for the masses by highlighting its deep cultural and historical significance.
