I really feel betrayed finding out croissants aren't French.
This last one is more of a theory than a fact. Some experts, such as author, beer scientist, and former president of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling Charlie Bamforth, believe that civilization started when tribes of people started settling around their grain rather than chasing animals across continents. "Beer is the basis of modern static civilization. Because before beer was discovered, people used to wander around and follow goats from place to place.
And then, they realized that this grain [barley] could be grown and sprouted and made into a bread and crumbled and converted into a liquid which gave a nice, warm, cozy feeling. So, gone were the days that they followed goats around. They stayed put while the grain grew and while the beer was brewed. And they made villages out of their tents. And those villages became towns, and those towns became cities. And so, here we are in New York, thanks to beer.
