Ancient Brews: Rediscovered and Re-created by Patrick E. McGovern

5.0

If you're looking for a book on ancient beer, brewing, and fermentation around the world, then this book isn't for you. What this book is, however, is the story behind how Dr. McGovern and Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Brewing met and the story behind the ancient brews they've made. A very interesting read on how Dr. McGovern's branch of archaeology works, how some of these ancient beverages were discovered, and how they set about to recreate them. With recipes included so you can brew them at home.

This book is only about the Ancient Ales that Dogfish Head have released and does not cover any other research Dr. McGovern has done.
