Of a sort. Beer itself as a fermented grain beverage goes back 10,000 years.

I inherited from my parents a house that had originally been purchased by my great-great-grandparents. When I was cleaning out the basement, I noticed a door at the back of a storeroom. When I opened it, I discovered it was a dugout root cellar that had been used as a wine and beer cellar by my great-great-grandfather (based on the dates on the labels.) Some of that alcohol is ancient and consists of brands of which I have never heard.
It all probably tastes like piss and vinegar now though. I am especially leery of the case of something called Greasy Dick.

I’ll take a beer buried in the ground for thousands of years over Milwaukee’s Best.

Ancient analgesic beer?

He found evidence of honey, meadowsweet, barley, and mintingredients in a type of beverage known as a braggot. And he won't shut up about it. Goes around town telling everyone all about his accomplishment. Braggot? You're lookin' at it!

We took guests to the Water Street Brewery (a Milwaukee chain) in Grafton last night for dinner. As we were leaving, the men paused at the window displaying the gleaming, stainless steel brew tanks and the menu of what was cooking at the time. One of them asked, “I wonder what they brewed beer in before they invented stainless steel?” And a stranger, standing nearby, answered, “Oak. White Oak is the best.” I wonder if that is true?

You could offer that case to 0bama, for another 'beer summit'. I'm sure he would appreciate it! 😉

BTW, one of the concoctions “cooking” was Pumpkin Ale. Sounds good. Supposed to be a little bit sweet.

Might be worth some money to collectors. Here’s a page where someone is auctioning off unopened cans of Griesedieck, so it’s probably worth something if they are in good condition:

Does 'braggot' look like this?

There was a pitcher named Mill Famey, who was caught drunk and thrown out of the game when they caught him with the beer that made Mill Famey Walkus.

I dont think people would be interested in purchasing it to drink,That may be why they sealed it up and buried it.
