More proof of the wisdom of the ancients

Oh the carefree happy days at Cerro Baul. This is a brewery and town in ancient Peru where wealthy, beautiful maidens brewed beer for extravagant parties, serving their libations in 64-ounce cups. Click here for story.

The story states that it is likely that the brewery maidens were chosen on the basis of their beauty and the status of their families. And this was no small operation the brewery could turn out 500 gallons a week.

The two neighboring empires lasted together for 400 years. Thus barley is mightier than the sword.
