Dung-Flavored
Beer Brewed Anew on Scottish Island
LONDON
(Reuters) - Even the keenest beer drinker may
hesitate before sampling the latest beverage on
sale in the Orkney islands off northern Scotland
-- a ``Stone Age'' beer flavored with animal dung.
Historians
have recreated the recipe after uncovering what
they claim is a 5,000-year-old pub and brewery
on the remote archipelago.
Merryn
Dineley, a Manchester University historian and
chief brewer of the ancient liquor, told the weekly
paper The Observer Sunday that the brew was ``quite
delicious.'' The ale is brewed in clay pots with
traces of baked animal droppings.
Dineley
examined stone-lined drains running under houses
in the Neolithic village of Skara Brae in the
Orkneys and found evidence of a kiln for malting
grain and traces of a cereal-based fermented alcohol.
