There's a great Tasting History episode about Ancient Mesopotamian beer and their writings around it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK4DMt8ARyU

I appreciate the reminder of this, I had been meaning to try the recipe and completely forgot

Fun fact, mesopotamian beer was drank through a straw because they did not filter it. They'd simply let the solids fall to the bottom and sip off the liquid
