Sunday September 2 7:44 AM ET 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. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010902/od/dung_dc_1.html [ September 03, 2001: Message edited by: Lomotil ]
