For anyone interested the Discovery Channel did a show with the guys from Dogfish Head [1]. Its pretty interesting to watch too bad they only made five episodes. They actually go to Egypt to find ancient forms of yeast to make beer with.

If this article piqued anyone's curiosity, I cannot recommend The Oxford Companion to Beer highly enough.

Especially if you're an all-grain home brewer, like me. :-)

Those interested in the history of beer should also take a look at Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers by Stephen Harrod Buhner.
