Ha habido muchos inventores en el mundo: Da Vinci, Einstein,
Homer Simpson… Pero si uno ha cambiado la historia de la mayor parte de los
humanos durante más de 8000 años es el anónimo que elaboro por primera vez la
cerveza. Sin embargo, para muchos pueblos cerveceros ese desconocido tiene nombre. Gambrinus para los flamencos,
por ejemplo.
Charlie Mopps o
simplemente Charlie Mops, es para los irlandeses
el inventor mitológico de la cerveza. Se cree que su nombre es una deformación
de Barley Hops. Charlie Mopps
consigue este honor gracias a que en la canción folclórica irlandesa “Beer,
Beer, Beer” se le atribuye el mérito. Está escrita por el grupo folk irlandés “The Clancy Brothers”
A long time ago, way back in history,
when all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
When along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

A bushel of malt, a barrel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
For 40 pints a wallop a day will keep away the clacks.
Its only eight pence hapenny a pint,and one and six they tax, 1 2 3 4 5
