Beer and the process of brewing has been going on for as long as we know. Virginia colonists brewed beer.

"William Penn included a place for brewing beer within the colony of Pennsylvania which can still be visited at Pennsbury Manor today. The first President of the United States recorded a recipe for brewing beer in his notes. Samuel Adams holds a place in both beer and tea history in this country," according to nationaldaycalendar.com.
