response: Brewing used to take place in the home, but by the 9th century monasteries and farms started producing it on a mass scale
history: Do you know much about breweries/ It is a business that makes beer and sells it I see, I'm sure they have a lot of history to them Actually, the first record of brewing beer for sale was way back in 2500 BC I see, that's earlier than I thought
knowledge: Brewing was initially a cottage industry, with production taking place at home; by the ninth century monasteries and farms would produce beer on a larger scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built.
