"Exactly when beer was first brewed cannot be determined.
The oldest proven records of brewing are about 6000 years old and refer to the Sumarians.
The Sumarians discovered the fermentation process by chance. Of course, nobody knows today, exactly how this occurred, but it could be that a piece of bread became wet and was simply forgotten. After a short time the bread began to ferment and an inebriating pulp resulted. The Sumarians were able to repeat this process and are assumed to be the first civilized culture to brew beer. They had discovered a divine drink which they offered to their gods."
