The person (or persons) who first brewed Beer. This has an advantage that beer was most probability discovered/brewed independently by a number of different people in different locations.

Re: The Time machine - who do you want to meet?

1.) As a proud German I would love to meet Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg in the past and help him to assassinate Hitler succesfully
2.) Carolus Magnus, basically founder of todays Europe. Mustīve had an amazing personality
3.) Jesus, would love to know whether Dan Brown was right about his liaison with Maria Magdalena or not.

Henry VIII
Elizabeth I
Cleopatra
Jesus Christ
Blackbeard
General Custer

Now there's a final table! Blackbeard might be 3-betting Christ a little light, I reckon!

I'd hope you'd go with someone a bit quicker on the trigger than Stauffenberg. While he was dedicated to going through with the plan once execution began (he was all-in so falling back was not an option anyway), he was part of a group that dithered for too long. I'd probably prefer to go meet Hindenburg in '32-33 instead or a group of General Staff officers in the '33-39 period if this is really your goal. By '44 the damage to Germany and the world was already wrought.
