McGovern tells the enthralling story of the world’s oldest alcoholic beverages and the cultures that created them.

McGovern describes nine extreme fermented beverages of our ancestors, including the Midas Touch from Turkey and the 9000-year-old Chateau Jiahu from Neolithic China, the earliest chemically identified alcoholic drink yet discovered.
