Beer
A History and Tribute
DVD
An original production published by
The Classic Archives! |
| As a wise man once said,
"Mmmmmm, Beer, it's nature's fruit juice."
Beer is the world's oldest and most
popular alcoholic beverage. Some of the earliest known
writing refers to the production and distribution of beer.
It is produced by the fermentation of sugars derived from
starch-based material — the most common being malted barley;
however, wheat, corn, and rice are also widely used, usually
in conjunction with barley. Less widely used starch sources
include millet, sorghum and cassava root in Africa, potato
in Brazil, and agave in Mexico, among others.
This DVD aims to explore our culture
around beer, and the manufacture of. You will see
films about underage drinking, about the brewing process,
some advertisement examples, and some of the dangers of
drinking and driving. A good overall overview of
beer's place in our society. A must have for any beer
lover!
