In Mesopotamia, the oldest evidence of beer is on a 6000-year old Sumerian tablet, which shows people drinking a beverage through reed straws from a communal bowl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer Oct 03 04, 1:26 PM

Actual evidence of beer occurs at Godin Tepe (in modern Iran) about 5,500 years ago in the form of calcium oxalate deposits on pottery fragments. These could have come from rhubarb or spinach, but from the design of the jars that the fragmants came from beer is most likely. (The oxalate is known as beer stone and occurs naturally in beer production. Keeping spinach or rhubarb in pottery jars is somewhat unlikely.) Grooves on the fragments also match those in the Sumerian written sign for beer, dating from about 200 years later.
