Beer: It's made us what we are today

From Gizmodo:
"Charlie Bamforth, a British academic who holds the most fabulous of titles—the University of California's Anheuser Busch Endowed Professor of Brewing Science—claims that without beer, we would be without computers, the iPod, Silicon Valley and the space program."

And people generalize beer drinkers as pot-bellied, NASCAR watching, Billy Bobs. Without beer, they would be sitting in the dark in a goat skin tent somewhere. Ungrateful, that's what they are.
