SIX HEALTHY REASONS TO DRINK MORE BEER: healthhacks.be/drinking-more-beer -->
The tie between the spirit and the "spirits" goes back a long way in history:
- St. Patrick used beer to lure heathens to convert.
- Charlemagne encouraged brewing at monasteries.
- Beer was such a staple that the first permanent building the Pilgrims constructed in the new world was a brewery.
- Some researchers argue that the miracle where Jesus turns water into wine originally referred to beer.
