What if the beakers carried malt spirits? The indigenous at the time had zero tolerence for alcohol. The local men had very poor fortunes, even personal disaster, at the social events, and the beaker men sowed their oats.

What if the beakers carried mead?
Ancient beakers and the history of mead
Signatures of bee pollen and fermented honey “wines” have been extricated from the beakers.

Mead would have been more suited to people on the move.
No crops needed.
Beer/malt spirits might have come into play after conquest.
