How many wars (actual shooting wars) between countries were fought over beer?

By "over beer" I mean a dispute involving any sort of disagreement about beer.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"War" is a bit much. During Prohibition, mobs shot at each other over alcoholic beverages, including beer.

In Germany, mid 15th century, there was a rebellion by some territories in Germany over excise taxes on beer. But that was largely symbolic, like calling the American Revolution a war over tea.

I don't think we can answer this because if its over beer the people drinking would say its something else. I'm sure it would go all the way back to when people could shoot each other.

Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9000 BC, and is recorded in the written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Then......

Some people in medieval Europe heard of powerful fire
weapons of the India. Marco Polo (in 13th century) was
financed by the king of his country with the specific
purpose of finding the secret of the Indian fire weapons.
