Beer is delicious, but do you know where it comes from?
According to records, the earliest beer can be traced back to 9,000 years ago. The Assyrian goddess of incense in Central Asia, Nihalo, presented wine made from barley. Others say that about 4,000 years ago, the Sumerians who lived in the Mesopotamia already knew how to brew beer. The last record was around 1830. German beer technicians were distributed all over Europe, and then the technology of brewing beer was spread all over the world.
How the specific beer came from is not important anymore. The most important point, I wonder if you have noticed, why most of our common beer bottles are green?
Although beer has a relatively long history, it is not very long to put it in a bottle, about the middle of the 19th century.
At first, people thought that glass had only one color, only green, not only beer bottles, but also ink bottles, paste bottles, and even the glass on doors and windows had a hint of green. In fact, this is caused by the fact that the glass making process is not perfect.
Later, with the improvement of glass technology, although other colors of wine bottles can also be produced, it was found that green beer bottles can delay the deterioration of beer. Around the end of the 19th century, this green bottle was specially produced to fill beer, and it slowly passed down.
Around the 1930s, the big green bottle’s competitor “small brown bottle” came on the market, and it was found that the beer filled in the brown bottle tasted no worse than the big green bottle, or even better, for a period of time “small brown bottle”. Bottle” was successfully promoted to the “starting position”. However, it didn’t take long. Because the “small brown bottle” in the World War II area was in short supply, the merchants had to switch back to the big green bottle in order to save costs.
