[Sca-cooks] Ancient Beer

[Johnna Holloway]

This was in the mailbox this am: "We drank beer from 3500 BC, and it was delicious."
"The World Science Festival just blew through NYC and brought with it countless opportunities to expand your mind, traverse new avenues of consciousness, and, most importantly, drink high-ABV beer from King Midas's tomb.

A roster of "Ancient Ales" created by Dogfish Head were up for consumption at "Cheers to Science! A Drinkable Feast Of Beer, Biotechnology, and Archaeology", which featured a talk by bio-molecular archaeologist (basically a science Indiana Jones) Patrick McGovern and Dogfish brewmaster Sam Calagione. Featured: Midas Touch, Birra Etrusca Bronze, Jiahu, and their as-yet unreleased offering coming out in September, Kvasir."
