TAPS Beer Bar is more than just a place to grab a cold one—it's a cultural experience. With a deep appreciation for beer beyond its consumption, TAPS aims to impress beer enthusiasts with fascinating beer history. Did you know that one of the oldest surviving beer recipes dates back to around 1800 BCE? 'The Hymn To Ninkasi,' etched on a clay tablet in Sumer (now known as Iraq), presents a poem that served as an easy way to remember the recipe for brewing beer.

This demonstrates how beer has been cherished for centuries. In ancient Egypt, beer played a significant role. Pyramid laborers were paid in beer and bread, contributing to the longevity of the pyramids.

Wealthy Egyptians even offered beer to the gods and buried it in tombs, ensuring a smooth journey to the afterlife. While it's often believed that people in medieval Europe drank more beer than water for safety reasons, this may be a half-truth. Although contaminated water was a concern, there were guidelines to determine safe drinking water.

So, while beer was consumed, it may not have entirely replaced water. Visit TAPS Beer Bar for a conversation-worthy experience where you can explore the rich history and diverse flavors of craft beer
