Decided to stick this in this forum as the quantum was definitely commercial....!

‘World’s oldest brewery’ discovered in Egypt archaeological dig

Wonder if they brewed a nice ice cold lager....for a little bar in Alex with a marble top counter and high stools!

I'm thinking...a Pyramid Pale ale,Embalmers Special Bitter or maybe a Sarcophagus Sour...

The pyramid builders used fairly simple machines (levers and rollers) and the work was labour intensive. A barley based brew would have been cheap, fairly hydrating and reasonably nutritious. As the workforce must have been the size of a small army, the amounts suggested seem fairly credible.

No Star San then, and they were a long way from understanding fermentation in a theoretical sense. Still made beer.
