Reviews
An extraordinary, globe-trotting journey through the remarkable history of our ancient connection with alcohol.--Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist
If you ever wondered what might happen when America's most adventurous brewer and a molecular archaeologist whose love of extreme beverages extends across ten millennia begin fiddling together, this is the book for you! Great storytelling, as ancient brews live again!--Roald Hoffmann, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
One might assume not much Venn exists between diagrams of beer and archaeology. One would be wrong. Learning what we drank and why makes for a superb adventure. Dr. Pat--America's foremost barstool archaeologist--is back from the trenches to entertain, educate, and quench your thirst. Pull up a barstool!--Wayne Curtis, author of And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails
A very enjoyable book that would intrigue anyone interested either in archaeology or beer.--Martin Morse Wooster "Mid-Atlantic Brewing News"
Of interest to home brewer and historian alike.--Benjamin Shull "Wall Street Journal"
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has rarely been put to headier use.--Barbara Kiser "Nature"
Thanks to Dr. Pat's research, beer is a gateway to discovery for armchair historians and bold homebrewers alike.--Courtney Cox "BeerAdvocate"
McGovern's mix of gee-whiz science and thoughtful historical context makes Ancient Brews a refreshing read.--Kevin Begos "Associated Press"
This book is worth reading now and well into the future.--Jon Page "All About Beer"
