Kirin, a Japanese beer maker, has found a 4,400-year-oldrecipe in Egyptian hieroglyphics and made authentic ancientEgyptian beer from it called Old Kingdom Beer. It’s darkbrown with no foam and has an alcohol content of 10%, whichis about double that of modern beers.
Kirin spokesman Takaomi Ishii says, “It has a taste verydifferent from today’s beer. It tastes a little like whitewine.” The beer is based on barley, but does not use hops,which give modern beer its bitter taste.
