Tags >> ancient Sumerian beer
In the March 9, 2009 installment of my blog, I wrote about an attempt at recreating an ancient Sumerian beer, as described in "The Hymn to Ninkasi." Ninkasi was the Sumerian goddess of beer and the poem in her honor was found on 4,000 year old tablets written in cuniform. (See my previous blog entry for more info and a recipe.)
This Sunday, I went over to the house of a fellow Austin ZEALOT, Joe Walton, to brew a "really old beer." The beer we brewed was our interpretation of BYO's interpretation of the Hymn to Ninkasi, a poem about brewing that appears on 4,000-year-old cuniform tablets. It's the same beer that Anchor took a stab at back in 1989. The link to the BYO recipe can be found at: SubscribeThis Free Trial Issue offer is only valid in the US and Canada.
