The agrarian revolution did lead directly to having surplus to make more beer. It likely was made earlier (mead would have been common), but when you've got more grain to play with, and more time available because you don't have to go out and forage, you've got the time and resources to experiment.Dr Jakob didnt say it but I am sure it was mans first and most important piece of genetic engineering.
