Do You Want To Taste a 3,300-Year-Old Danish Beer

From Gizmodo:

Y

es, Egtved Girl's Brew is made from a recipe that dates all the way back to the Bronze Age, 1,370 years BCE. This brew, made in a partnership between the Danish National Museum andSkands Brewery, is based directly on the vintage stuff: residue samples taken from a bark beer bucket buried in an ancient coffin discovered in Denmark in 1921. 

Egtved Girl must've gotten pretty thirsty in the afterlife—either that, or 3,300 years in the ground led to an unfortunate leak in her beer vessel. So the brewers and historians who determined the beer's ingredients from the dried residue had to improvise to come up with the proper recipe.
