Hail Ninkasi, Hail Eris

Ninkasi is the name of the Sumerian Goddess of beer to whom a poem was written around 1900 BCE that possesses the oldest known recipe for beer. 4000 years ago we were writing poems about beer.

According to Wikediea, The Code of Hammurabi called for tavern keepers who diluted or overcharged for beer to be put to death.

It didn't specify what to do to brewers who make crap like Busch Light or Michelob Ultra.
