From Dogfish Head:

Science + beer = an amazingly off-centered field trip for adults.  

Through the summer of 2014, Dogfish Head is sponsoring BEERology at the San Diego Museum of Man. BEERology explores the strange and interesting ways ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Chinese and others perfected the craft of brewing.

Since 1999, Dogfish Head has followed their lead by working closely with Dr. Patrick McGovern, one of the world's leading experts in ancient beverages. With his help, we've unearthed ancient recipes from the Near East to the Far East, from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, and from Africa to South America.  

At BEERology, you'll learn fascinating stories and see phenomenal artifacts that reveal the links between beer and culture, such as the solid gold beer cup of an Inca king.  

There also will be four special events, including a night of Ancient Ales with Dogfish Head:  

Sept. 19, 2013: Yeast: The Smallest Ingredient in the World's Favorite Drink. Experience the San Diego Museum of Man's newest exhibit, BEERology, as it was meant to be – with beer! The scientists and beer-lovers at White Labs Inc. will be on hand to explain the vital role of yeast during the brewing process. Plus, enjoy beer tastings from craft brewers AleSmith, Left Coast, Lucky Buddha, and Ninkasi, as well as treats from La Bella Pizza Garden, Tarantino Gourmet Sausages, and Grove Pastry. Tickets.  

Jan. 16, 2014: Ancient Ales: What did Ancient Egyptians and Sumerians have in common? Beer!
