The oldest known brewery still in operation today is the Benedictine Weihenstephan Breezeway in Bavaria, Germany. It’s thought that it first opened up shop around 768 and by 1040 is known to have been officially licensed by the City of Freising for making beer.

Yes, other countries like ancient Egypt, and other early civilizations etc.. made a beer-like malt from various grains, but the common western beer tastes veer towards the flavours of barley and hops.
