Now that baseball season’s coming ’round, the brew-and-hot dog combos are on the brain. Admit it, you know you want one.   Our fave is a Shiner and a dog at an Astros game, but we’re partial to local beers. What’s yours?

See, we couldn’t even be having this conversation if it weren’t for women.  Because, as a recent article alerted us, women invented beer. According to cultural scholars, up until about 200 years ago, beer was considered a food item, and thus would have fallen under the category of woman’s work.

In fact, in Ancient Mesopotamia, only women were allowed to brew or sell beer.

So, on behalf of sports fans everywhere, thanks ladies!
