Beer is one of the world’s oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9500 BC, when cereal was first farmed,[12] and is recorded in the written history of ancient Iraq and ancient Egypt.[13] Archaeologists speculate that beer was instrumental in the formation of civilizations.[14]
Beer was spread through Europe by Germanic and Celtic tribes as far back as 3000 BC,[26] and it was mainly brewed on a domestic scale.[27] The product that the early Europeans drank might not be recognised as beer by most people today.
Alongside the basic starch source, the early European beers might contain fruits, honey, numerous types of plants, spices and other substances such as narcotic herbs.[28] What they did not contain was hops, as that was a later addition, first mentioned in Europe around 822 by a Carolingian Abbot[29] and again in 1067 by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen.[30]

The first chocolate beverage is believed to have been created by the Aztecs around 2,000 years ago, and a cocoa beverage was an essential part of Aztec culture by 1400 AD.[2]
The beverage became popular in Europe after being introduced from Mexico in theNew World and has undergone multiple changes since then. Until the 19th century, hot chocolate was even used medicinally to treat ailments such as liver and stomach diseases.
Today, hot chocolate is consumed throughout the world and comes in multiple variations including the very thick cioccolata densa served in Italy and chocolate a la taza served in Spain, and the thinner hot cocoa consumed in the United States.
