The Swedes have been brewing beer since the Iron Age
The Swedes have been brewing beer since the Iron Age, as evidenced by the carbonized remains of those germinated seeds that Swedish archaeologists have discovered – origo.hu wrote.
Seedlings excavated in the southern part of the country suggest a large amount of beer sold for feasts and daily use- the researchers wrote in the Archeological and Anthropological Sciences journal.
The findings are from the 400–600s, making them one of the earliest evidence of beer brewing in Sweden – says Mikael Larsson, who specialises in archaeobotany, the archaeology of human-plant interactions. (MTI, origo)
