Grain-based fermented beverages were the order of the day during the great Bronze Age in China. Served in elaborate bronze vessels, these beverages, heated over fires, accompanied lavish feasts honoring ancestors. While we don't have textual evidence of recipes or any descriptions of taste, science and archaeology come to the rescue to help recreate the brews.

Join Lucas Livingston as his vivid descriptions place you at the feast!
