Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Patrick E. McGovernpart modern scientist, part Indiana Jonesuncovers and recreates the oldest alcoholic beverages ever found.In Ancient Brews, Patrick E. McGovern takes us on a fascinating journey through time, back to the beginning when our ancestors were likely already experimenting with highsugar fruits, honey, roots and cereals, herbs and tree resins to concoct the perfect drink.Early beveragemakers must have marveled at the magical process of fermentation. Their amazement would have grown as they drank the mindaltering liquids, which were to become the medicines, religious symbols, and social lubricants of later cultures.Interweaving archaeology and science, McGovern leads us on his adventures to China, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, Scandinavia, Honduras, Peru, and Mexico. We share in his laboratory discoveries, including an early Neolithic cocktail from China made of wild grapes, hawthorn fruit, rice, and honey; an elite New World cacao beverage that gods and kings delighted in; and the Midas Touch of central Turkey. These liquid time capsules defied modern conventions by mixing wines, beers, meads, and botanicals together into heady, delicious extreme beverages.For the intrepid reader, homebrew interpretations of each ancient beverage and culturally appropriate matching meal recipes are provided, transporting our senses and imaginations back to the future.
