“Intoxication and Civilization: Beer’s Ancient Past” features beer and wine archaeologist Patrick E. McGovern and chemist, professor, and home brewer Roger Barth.
Our guests discuss the science behind beer, how modern craft breweries can help us understand ancient beers, and how technology has allowed us to drink like an ancient king. They also discuss the spiritual side of beer and the role beer has played in human evolution.
