The Oldest Breweries in the World

There is something to be said for people who make the beer that injects joy into our daily lives. There is even more to be said for those that have withstood the test of time, producing quality (welcome Budweiser piss-water comments here)brews for centuries. I can't help but think that some of the same fermented beverages that got me through college were also the potential catalyst for my great-great grandfather and grandmother to accidentally produce offspring.

Fishstick2069 May 2, 2009 at 1:43pmWhile I appreciate the snubbing of "Buttwater" in the article, you included it in the info graphic. While that can be forgivable for continuity's sake, the omission of Guinness franchise is an abomination. St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland 1759, although admittedly they did not start marketing a "Guinness Stout" until the 1840's. -

SdJDodson May 3, 2009 at 9:04amhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirin_Brewery_Company 1869.... Where is the Asian beer? There are thousands of American military members that have had their delight with Korean OB, Japanese Kirin/Sapporo/Asahi, or sometimes even some Chinese Tsingtao. Seriously, you guys included frikkin PERU (and Australia, which isnt that old) as a beer brewer, a Latin American country, but ignoring Asian breweries despite that they were set up by a NORWEGIAN and GERMAN guy and are considered today as one of the worlds common beers?
