Hale Ninkasi!

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind
  of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."  -Frank Zappa

She was worshipped by both men and women at a time when ale was made and served exclusively by women.
