Transcript excerpt
Did you know refrigeration was initially invented for beer? So it used to be illegal to brew beer in the summer in Germany to prevent spoilage, so a professor invented refrigeration tech specifically for beer. The first machine was installed in Better Brewery, Munich in 1873, and it immediately took off. The summer ban was lifted. It made lager brewing possible anywhere, and by 1890, tier machines had been sold across Europe. Carl Von Lind was knighted for this feat, and Lind AG is still a massive company that's listed on the Nasdaq. Modern bridges work on the same principle, and his invention led to innovations that revolutionized food, medicine, air condition, and even space exploration.
