and all these years later, we’re still
buzzing. recent archaeological digs
in the eastern Mediterranean have
turned up what appear to be primitive
brewing tools, suggesting that people
were sampling fermented fruit (or
grain) as far back as the epipaleolithic
era. however, there is debate over
whether grain was used for making
beer before it was used for making
bread. “I think it was being used
for beer or, more appropriately, for
feasting,” says archaeologist Brian
hayden, who has contributed to the
knowledge in support of this theory.
“Feasts were a means of organizing
people, similar to a democratic
congress. the addition of beer made
them a much more effective tool.”
apparently, some things never change.
