Beer is made from grain and water (and other stuff obviously) so it brings together the elements of earth and water.

Don’t tell the blokes but according to historical data…women invented beer.
Beer is a good liquid to use to purify the body, just add a little to your bath water or drink a small amount…yes I did say ‘small’ amount.

Beer has long been used as a ritual offering and makes a nice ritual drink when in circle.
