A History of Barley and Brewing
The Grain That Changed History
Long before anyone understood yeast, enzymes, or fermentation, humans discovered something magical — wet grain could turn sweet. And when that sweet grain was left to sit, it began to bubble and transform into something new: beer.
The journey from raw barley to malted barley is one of the oldest human inventions, shaping civilizations, economies, and — eventually — the craft beer you brew at home.
