Why do you specify a "wierd" recipe? There are a number
of recipes, including period ones, that do call for beer
or ale as an ingredient.

For a few period recipes that use beer, see this file:

I thought it was wine, not beer that the christians used
in their ceremonies? Of course, some Roman texts said
blood, but we will discount those...
