Join us as we crack open a brand-new book—Ancient Brews: Rediscovered and Re-Created by Patrick McGovern!

McGovern, a biomolecular archaeologist, takes readers on a journey through time as he analyzes ancient beverages from around the world. Using chemistry, archaeology, and a little bit of guesswork, he partners with Dogfish Head Brewery to recreate these drinks in the modern day as part of their Ancient Ales series.

In this episode, we explore the science behind the process and the fascinating stories behind two standout brews: Midas Touch and Chateau Jiahu.

Archaeology, science, and beer—what more could you want?
