McGovern takes us on a fascinating journey through time to the dawn of brewing when our ancestors might well have made a Palaeo-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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcGovern recounts how the re-created Ancient Ales and Spirits of Dogfish Head came about as he circles the globeamp;mdash;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 possible of these liquid time capsules. Accompanying homebrew interpretationsamp;mdash;brimming with unusual spicy, fruity, and malty aromas and tastesamp;mdash;help bring the past alive, as our senses and imaginations travel \"Back to the Future.\"","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105025376496,"sku":"2940170546091","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170546091_p0.jpg?v=1763712000","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170546091","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
