5,000-year old beer recipe discovered in China
A group of scholars in May 2016 discovered the earliest evidence of beer production in China, dating back 5,000 years. Scholars took samples of residue from the insides of various artefacts excavated from Mijiaya, an archaeological site. Their analysis suggests that Chinese locals were following a recipe for beer using millet, barley, Job's tears and tubers, among other ingredients. \n
