Prehistoric Beer


Cheers!   (by Francois Louis Jacques)
Along with mammoths and dinosaurs, we now have beer.

A 13,000-year-old mishmash of malt has been discovered within the Raqefet Cave near Haifa, Israel.  The Natufians who
long ago lived there may have “brewed beer as part of ritual feasts that honored the dead.”

Perhaps humans then realized what fun beer could be, which led to its widespread use in honoring the living.
