This is where the story begins Ale Ages: Tracing the Timeline of Beer opens with Beer's Ancient Cradle, taking readers back to Mesopotamia’s first brews and Egypt’s sacred rituals to reveal how humanity’s oldest drink became a timeless bond between culture, craft, and civilization.

Ale Ages: Tracing the Timeline of Beer invites you on a journey through time one pint at a time. This series tells the story of how a simple brew became a cornerstone of culture, trade, and creativity, evolving from ancient rituals to today’s craft beer revolution.

Book 1, Brewing Beginnings, returns to Mesopotamia and the Nile Delta, where beer first bubbled to life. In those early civilizations, it wasn’t just a drink it was sacred, traded like gold, and woven into daily ritual. From the Sumerians’ hymns to Ninkasi to the quiet innovation of medieval monks, every drop carried meaning.

Book 2, The Brewing Revolution, charts beer’s transformation through industry and empire. Steam engines, global trade, and the long shadow of prohibition tested the craft but also forged new ways to brew, distribute, and survive.

Book 3, Crafting the Modern Beer World, celebrates the rise of small-batch passion. Microbreweries, homebrewers, and bold innovators reshaped the landscape, chasing flavor, authenticity, and community with every pour.

Ale Ages isn’t just history it’s a celebration of human creativity, one glass at a time. After all, every era has its brew.
