1,000-YEAR-OLD BREWERY DISCOVERED
Archaeologists working in southern Peru found an ancient brewery more than
1,000 years old. Remains of the brewing facility were uncovered on Cerro
Baúl, a mountaintop city over 8,000 feet above sea level, which was home to
elite members of the Wari Empire from AD 600-1000. Predating the Inca Empire
by at least four centuries, this Wari brewery was used to make chicha, a
fermented beverage similar to beer that played an important role in ritual
feasting and drinking during Peru's first empire. Ancient Peruvians made
chicha with local grains and fruit, which is quite different from today's
commercial beers typically made with barley and hops. "We believe this
important find may be the oldest large-scale brewery ever found in the
Andes," said Patrick Ryan Williams, Assistant Curator of Anthropology at The
Field Museum. http://www.realbeer.com/news/articles/news-002287.php
