A wide-ranging study of beer from its origins 10,000 years ago to the present develops our sense of shared humanity at the same time as stressing local difference and historical change. Beer is rooted in local geography, environment, culture, social structure, politics and religion. It also tells a story of human ingenuity, innovation, adaptation and resilience around the world. This course offers an introduction to the intersection of science, technology and society through the lens of one of humanity's most ancient and global technologies: brewing beer.
