    I found the following answer on wikipedia.com


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer


    Beer, generically, is any alcoholic beverage produced through the fermentation of starchy material and which is not distilled after fermentation. The process of beer production is called brewing. Because the ingredients used to make beer differ from place to place, beer characteristics such as taste and colour vary widely, and consequently its type or classification.

    One of the oldest beverages man has produced, dating back to at least the 5th millennium BC and recorded in the written history of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the character of beer has changed drastically over the millennia.

    There is also this quote found on: http://www.beer-lover.com/

    He was a wise man who invented beer.
    -- Plato

    Plato lived from approximately 427-347 BC

    As you can see from the dates, beer has been around for millenia and is mentioned in ancient Egyptian history.
