How did people who wiped their ass with a communal sponge on a stick figure out beer?

Because someone who is starving to death will eat literally anything.

Someone tried rotten grain and got a buzz and then after surviving the famine went back and figured something out.

the beer came way, WAAAAAAY before the communal ass sponge, which was a uniquely roman piece of nonsense afaik
