Dr Crewe said, “Archaeologists believe beer drinking was an important part of society from the Neolithic onwards and may have even been the main reason that people began to cultivate grain in the first place.”

Imagine being an early beer-maker surrounded by hunter-gatherers. Hunters would have come over all the time to share their catches in exchange for some beer. Early herders as well.

I'm getting the clay and sand for digging them up here on the property. I make bricks as the mood strikes me. I won't be spending a penny on the project.

I think I'll stick with the oven style that I used in NM.

Imagine making beer in the mountains in 2008, and people just 'dropping by' at the end of a trail at the end of a dirt road 8 miles from pavement to visit and bring tobacco, salt, and meat.

It still works the same today. ;)

Thanks for all you’ve done, SunkenCiv.

I’ve enjoyed your postings more than you’ll ever know — what you posted was always fascinating and made for compelling reading.

Since my dad died, I haven’t been able to keep up with archeological news, history, space news, etc. (dad was a scientist and imminently curious about everything science).

You will be missed.

See Max Nelson's book, The Barbarian's Beverage, on beer in Greek and Roman times. I think it focuses on the period for which literary evidence is available (700 B.C. on)...I don't know if he covers any archaeological evidence for the prehistoric periods, eh?

(I added the "eh?" because Nelson is Canadian.)

I’ve greatly enjoyed your ping list throughout the years. If you’re interested, I could help you set up a website/forum to continue your efforts.

Cultural perspective and a focus on the importance of history only strengthen the conservative position. Our principles are the result of centuries of willpower, war and conviction. To live only in day to day punditry and judge progress only from election to election is to throw away that heritage.

I thank you for the pings over the years!

Thanks SC. These are really great and informative. You’ll be missed. Is there another ping list to sign up with? I’d hate to miss these articles.

Well done.

If you are peeing burned grains, you need to change to a better beer.

No! I read almost every word of every article pinged! It is the highlight of my week! But one must do what one must, I suppose. Thanks for the hard work and the years of the exact stuff that interests me.

Thanks for all the work that you have done. GGG threads have been a welcome relief to all the troublesome politics this past year.

Wow, that’s amazing, beer way back then.

I was just saying that the one thing that our town lacked was a nice local bar, where you could stop for a drink and see friends, like we used have back east in the Phila suburbs.

I regret reading this.

You have performed a valuable service over these last 8 1/2 years. I will sorely miss it.

Thank you for your years of work, they have been an
interesting and facinating break from politics.
Thanks again.

I am sure no one actually thought you were to blame for the multiple pings. It really is not a biggie for the pingee.

Sorry to see you have to drop this, but sometimes we have to prioritize, I know.

I thank you so much for your faithful contributions with these posting.
