(1) BREWING IN BABYLON

In Ancient Babylon, rightfully called the cradle of civilization, we find the art of brewing well developed as early as 4200 B.C. Its beginning must, therefore, date back hundreds of years before that time. Two grains, barley and emmer, were grown and brewing was done in large earthen vessels in which bread,. baked especially for the purpose, was mashed together with

crushed barley malt, and fer un mented. No aromatic flavour- ing was used in brewing but. some of the beers were flavotirin. ed with Cassia while others in received an admixture of dates or honey, probably to increase the alcoholic contents. Beer played a very important part in the religions as well as everyday life of the people.

So the great tradition has gone on, each age adding fresh experience and new knowledge, and now' to day, H.B. BEER, & worthy successor of the renowned brews of the past, is being produced in Hongkong in a Brewing which is a model of up-to-date equipment and scientific and hygienic method.
