The Coors commercial starts off by saying that women were the first brewers of beer in ancient times. I don’t know about that,

I thought the same thing. Beer has been made for a long, long time. Supposedly something like 10,000 BCE I doubt we know if the “first” beer makers tended to be women or men.

This does describe a beer goddess:

Archeologists also found an ode to Ninkasi, the patron goddess of brewing. This poem also contained the oldest known recipe for making beer using barley from bread.

Not sure that means the beer makers were all women.
I mean, Demeter was something like the goddess of agriculture. I’m not sure if that meant all farmers were women.
.

Ancient women were culturing bread;

Ancient men may have cultured bread also.

Generally speaking, I don’t expect commercials to give accurate history lessons.
