Wine is much easier than beer, because ripe fruit will ferment on it's own. Even wild animals get drunk sometimes; it's sometimes said that wine was discovered but beer was invented.
So alcohol without any grain is easy, but I don't know the answer for beer. On the other hand, why would you domesticate grain unless you already knew you could turn it into beer or bread?
- Qwertious 1y agoGrain can be turned into porridge (so basically just soaked) and eaten, bread and beer is optional. In fact, IIRC classical-era armies would eat their grain as porridge instead of spending hours in camp baking it into bread. For obvious reasons.
