Egyptian Beer

Egyptian Beer

The Ancient Egyptians were master brewers. In fact, beer was a staple of their daily diet, providingnutrients to people who didn't eat a ton of fruits and vegetables. Brewers fermented and baked leftover grain - maybe barley - with yeast, then strained the mixture to create soupy beer.

Archaeologists have found records of beer that date all the way back to the Predynastic period (around 3100 BCE). Egyptian beer was continually produced for millennia.
