Jesus' age beer was brewed from two thousand year old grains in Jerusalem
A Jerusalem brewery has produced a craft beer with a taste it says dates back to the time of Jesus. A sip of the concoction may help explain why wine was the preferred sacred drink of the Bible.
Herzl Brewery, Israel's smallest, took wheat that Tel Aviv University geneticists say was the strain used for beer in the Holy Land two millennia ago to produce 20 litres (five gallons) of “biblical beer”.
There's a hint of honey and berries in the cloudy – and flat – nectar, which has a three percent alcohol content. The brewery made it from 5 kilos (11 pounds) of grain donated by the university, along with the other traditional ingredients hops, yeast and water. (Shiri Zsuzsa, MTI)
