Story on Live Science website -- researchers tested some 5000 year old pottery and found traces of beerstone as well as barley and other plant material... http://www.livescience.com/54834-ancient-chinese-beer-recipe-reconstructed.html

One interesting fact that just barely got touched on is that they apparently used some sort of tubers as well as barley. Wonder what kind of tubers?? Wonder if you could use sweet potatoes to add some sugar to your beer? :)
