This is a little high on the Beer Nerd scale but it is a really interesting paper. This was tweeted out by @Beeronomics earlier today and is from the April 2012 issue of American Association of Wine Economists. A quick 27 page write up on how beer helped create what we know today as Belgium. Just another bit of evidence that fermented beverages are the driving force behind civilization. Article HERE. Drink Better.
