...and a video showing @altonbrown.bsky.social's first taste of one of our ancient Mesopotamian beers (the one that they called "dark" beer). You'll need to crank up the volume to hear his reaction

Here's a direct link to the video about our effort to recreate two ancient Mesopotamian beers

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it, though there's not much discussion of the recent experimental brew. Bear in mind that we weren't aiming for extreme authenticity there. We did employ the correct proportions of ingredients. Beyond that, we focused mainly on trying out one theory about bappir

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it

Here's another story about the Human Factor event, featuring some great shots of @altonbrown.bsky.social tasting our beers––first, the dark beer through blown-glass "reed" straws from a communal vessel, then the golden beer (+3 herbal additions: juniper, cardamom, and hyssop) from tasting glasses
Food and the Future
The sold-out debut of The Human Factor Speakers Series, featuring Alton Brown, brought campus and community together for lively conversations about the deeper meaning behind the food we eat.

These are all gone, but Les and I have been talking about a next round of experimental brewing. Perhaps we can put together some kind of tasting event at Trophy
