Makes sense. Too many hangovers means it’s really hard to get up the next morning, pack up camp, and go nomading about all the time. Easier to sleep off the hangovers if you stay in one place.

Beer. Nectar of the Gods.
Thanks, I might give it a try....
> he made his first batch of beer in 2006 using the prehistoric yeast. Extracted from a chunk of 45-million-year-old Burmese amber, its revival from deep dormancy by a scientist from California Poly San Luis Obispo riveted the scientific world.
Ancient ale: Prehistoric yeast takes beer drinkers back millions of years

Humans have been drinking beer for 11,500 years

I think that it would be closer to Ale. Ale in the English Middle Ages was so thick you could eat it with a spoon.
Long time ago I read a book about the history of food, that basically posits the same theory.
Wish I could remember the name of it. It was also a sort of cookbook on how to make all sorts of ancient foods from grains, honey, etc.
Egyptian beer was also like that, and eaten like soup.
You can try it, but good luck :p I don’t know too many people who actually like it.
I was mainly posting you for the description, if you managed to read it?
That’s not beer, it’s Bud Light. Poor kitty.

Animal cruelty, IMO.
Beer WAS my medicine.
I way overmedicated. Twenty years clean and sober come Feb. 5th, 2014.
I am not a beer drinker but there are occasions, like after a few hours of hot strenuous labor when a cold beer is the only thing that will do.
I do like the beer that is heavy on the hops or heavy on the malt. I detest Budweiser and all its clones and cousins.
Beer would also be a valuable trade good. It gives a reason for nomadic herders to stop by your village and trade a sheep for some beer, and have a bbq party.
