## Resource

Welcome, history bestie, to the season 12 premiere!! I'm TK, your tour guide to the past, and today we're starting this season off strong with the longest "Women History Owes an Apology Too" episode I've ever done. From pre-history to the Sumerians, all across Europe and beyond, women have been the brewers of beer and the keepers of the keg. That was until the fellas found out that they could make some serious cash in a Post Black Plague Europe. In this episode, we'll learn about 🍺 How beer was invented/discovered 🍺 The Sumerian goddess of beer 🍺 How beer shaped civilization 🍺 The Golden Era of the Ale wife 🍺 And how the plague and capitalism ruined everything. I'm so glad you found my little corner of YouTube, and if you like world history, Women’s History, and weird history, then I hope you stick around!
