As the oldest known deity affiliated with beer, the Sumerian goddess Ninkasi deserves some respect. First of all her name means "The Lady Who Fills The Mouth." With beer. She was borne of sparkling fresh water in order to produce beer for the gods on a daily basis, and eventually taught humanity to brew as well so we wouldn't have to miss out on all that goodness. These skills earned her the credit of being able to "satisfy the desire" and "sate the heart", if you’re the type to go based on cuneiform admirations. Even the oldest known written recipe is for beer, found in an homage called The Hymn to Ninkasi. Pretty fitting for what seemed like a very popular, and probably a very busy goddess!
