Brewing and feasting and truths…Oh My!

Welcome to Season 3 where Amanda includes members of her archaeological team as guest hosts. They each pick a subject they love and a dream guest to interview! In Episode 1, Amanda welcomes Curt Carbonell who interviews Dr. Marie Hopwood about her research regarding the production and cultural significance of alcohol in past societies. She also has a research partnership with Dave Paul of Loveshack Libations, a micro-brewery in Qualicum Beach, where they brew modern takes on ancient beers based on archaeological evidence. From ancient beer recipes, to societal norms and practices regarding alcohol, to the cultural importance of passing down knowledge - this is a fascinating conversation! For anyone who would like to dive deeper, here is a link to “A Hymn To Ninkasi” (the goddess of brewing) as referenced in the episode . You can see a picture of the hymn on one of the tablets and there is a common translation included in the description text.
