New old beer recipe?

I found an interesting article and after reading it, knew I had to share.

Very cool article....

We have had a couple discussions on here about some of his ancient beers...I know I posted some stuff in the one on midas touch. I keep meaning to brew a clone of it.

I'll see if I can find the threads...you may be interested in them.

Here's the thread I was looking for where I had posted some of the research material I had dug up on how they had come up with their recipes.

Hope you find them as interesting as I do.....

Now I want to start digging into the other beers mentioned in the article.

Thanks

I just find it very interesting what, at one time, was a "normal" brew. Especially when viewed against what we would consider normal. Compared to what we typically brew and drink, those seem kind of off the wall or strange.

But I would still like to try on or two.
