It's
enjoyed in the best of times as well as the worst.
From its role in the construction of the Egyptian
pyramids to the landing of the Mayflower
at Plymouth Rock, beer has played a pivotal
role in the course of human history.
Whether
you are a fan of the drink or not, there's no
denying that beer brewing is a very big business.
But it's not just the international brewing conglomerates
that are tapping into the market for pilsners,
lagers, ales and ciders. Shifting consumer trends,
coupled with a resurgence of smaller craft brewing
operations, have opened the door for a brewing
renaissance of sorts.
So
raise your glass and enjoy this look at the current
state of beer and its continuing impact on the
global economy.
