What is the earliest record of the large scale production of alcohol?

I saw a discovery doc named "How beer saved the world" but the tone of it seemed a little too casual. I would like to know for what point in time do we have records regarding the brewing, selling or consumption of any kind of alcohol.

Also they mentioned that a large part of the reason for the growth of early cities is that they had brewed alcoholic drinks. Is this true?

What were Justinian I's aims for restoring the Roman Empire

I know the Byzantine Empire was and would remain (historiographically speaking) the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Justinian dynasty was so close in time to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. With the empire's early conquests, what specifically were Justinian I's plans for a restored Roman Empire? Was there a specific model he hoped to return it to--possibly something resembling Roman rule under Constantine?
