From Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandpa's liquor cabinet...

The beer fanatics at Dogfish Head have a knack for recreating ancient beers.

First there was Midas Touch, a brew based off molecular analysis of goblets found in King Midas' tomb. Next came the 9,000 year old Chinese beer Chateau Jiahu.

Now, with the help of molecular archeologist Dr. Patrick McGovern, they've got a beer circa 9AD. Sah'tea, released in May, is "brewed with rye, caramelized with white hot river rocks, then ferment it with a German Weizen yeast."

Throw in some juniper berries foraged directly from the Finnish country-side and some tea made with "black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and black pepper," and presto.
Modern version of ancient brew.

I can't wait to try a bottle.

Sah'tea would go fabulous with a 2,700 yr old bag of pot .
I imagine.
