"ancient brews rediscovered & re-created"

presentation by dr patrick mcgovern
author of the book “ancient brews rediscovered and re-created”

 

patrick mcgovern takes us on a fascinating journey through time to the dawn of brewing when our ancestors might well have made a paleo-brew of wild fruits, honey, cereals, and botanicals. early beverage-makers must have marveled at the magical process of fermentation. their amazement grew as they drank the mind-altering drinks, which were to become the medicines, religious symbols, and social lubricants of later cultures.

 

mcgovern recounts how the re-created ancient ales and spirits of dogfish head brewery came about as he circles the globe – to china, turkey, egypt, italy, scandinavia, honduras, peru, and mexico. he interweaves archaeology and science, and tells the stories and struggles in making the most authentic
versions of these liquid time capsules as possible. accompanying homebrew interpretations – brimming with unusual spicy, fruity, and malty aromas and tastes – and matching meal recipes help bring the past alive, as our senses and imaginations travel “back to the future.”

 

beer tasting tickets cost $15 and are available for purchase at sleeping giant brewery, the prince arthur waterfront hotel and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .
