Toast History - Cheers!
“‘Nats daroia’ Harold!”, Dr. Wetbrain yelled holding up his beer into the air. Harold stood up and clinked his beer with him and had a drink. Harold yelled ‘Napidabora’, trying to imitate the doctor.
“You said it wrong”, Dr. Wetbrain stated. Time for toasting ‘Cheers!’ history and language lessons.
Two people and a clink of a drink from their glasses, also a yell of ‘Cheers’ in honor of a toast perhaps at a wedding, a good business deal, an honor of congratulation or to a special person. “Here’s looking at you kid”, Humphrey Bogart to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. Clink!
Merriam-Webster dictionary has a great definition for a toast – A shout of hope, applause, or encouragement.

The Beer Bottle Saga.
Dr. Wetbrain was reminiscing one day while sipping on a beer bottle. His thought drifted to the “Stubbie’s”. Beer bottles never had a tall neck at one time. It was in the 1980’s when the tall neck became popular. Twist top cap bottles were already used in the 1960’s but never got popular till much later. Thanks to the tall neck bottles. I remember using lighters and seatbelts for stubby bottle openers. Seen people using boards and their eye socket to open beer bottles. What the??!
Commercial beer bottles started in the late 1600s but were not a big thing then. Even though carrying a case of glass bottled beer is better than walking down a cobble stoned street toting beer filled bowls or large covered steins in each hand. Noted that both would have been filled from a barrel spout.
In the late 1600s these new beer bottles were made with clear glass at first. But were soon realized buy the faithful guzzlers that the beer was sour, skunky tasting after sitting in the sun for a short spell. According to scientific research ultra-violet rays damage the acids found in the hops. Thus, the brown tinted bottles. Which were made to prevent the nasty UV rays from damaging the hops. No more skunks! Green beer bottles are made, but the UV protection is not as good as the brown bottles.

Climate Change And The Beer Shortage.
“Harold you are spilling out a 1/8th of a bottle of beer! What are you doing? That’s alcohol abuse.” Dr. Wetbrain yelled.
“Spit, backwash”, Harold remarked.
“That’s no excuse. Don’t you know a beer shortage is coming thanks to climate change?” Wetbrain concluded.
Sure, the barley crop was plentiful at one time until the climate change effect came into view. Drought and heat waves are the main culprits in depleting the barley harvest. Droughts, heat waves, floods, hailstorms, grasshoppers’ migration, wildfires (smoke) all have contributing factors to climate change and the production of the most popular alcohol drink – BEER.

The Best History Of Beer.
Beer must be the most ancient common denominator of mankind. Throughout history, priests used beer for religious symbolism and by doctors for medical reasons. Most have promoted it as a healthy drink, others thought it was a drink brewed from the river Styx in Hell.
Dr. Wetbrain took a swig of his beer and continued with his beer history. You know Harold, nobody knows for sure when and where beer was first brewed. Because the malting process with grain had to be worked. So, it’s a good chance the prehistoric nomads accidentally made beer from grain and water before even learning to make bread.
Picture this, a grubby nomad, hungry and thirsty from traveling for weeks on the road, realizes that in his satchel there is this frothy rotting liquid of water and grain that somehow unified at the beginning of his trip. At this very moment he thought, this should not go to waste, might even help his dehydrated, starving situation. So, he decided to gulp down whatever this pungent liquid mixture was. Suddenly, he was feeling great. No more sore muscles and all the girls and goats along his trek looked... HOT.
