According to legend, Osiris taught ancient Egyptians the art of brewing beer, but the brewing of beer was traditionally, but not exclusively, a female activity, through which women could earn a little extra money (or bartered goods) for themselves and their families.
The main ingredient in the beer was bread made from
a rich yeasty dough, possibly including malt. The bread was lightly baked and
crumbled into small pieces before being strained through a sieve with water.
Flavour was added in the form of dates and the mixture was fermented in a large
vat and then stored in large jars.
Cheers to the Egyptian women ;-)
