by 3150 b. c. , long before the fire that wiped out tall bazi, the ancient egyptians had progressed beyond home brew: they were maintaining industrial - scale breweries of the sort that were eventually used to supply workers building the great pyramids at giza. beer was such a necessity in egypt that royals were buried with miniature breweries to slake their thirst in the afterlife. in ancient babylon beer was so important that sources from 500 b. c. record dozens of types, including red beer, pale beer, and dark beer .
