Scientists have discovered the oldest beer-making facilities in Greece dating back to the Bronze Age, dispelling the notion that the ancient Greeks only indulged in wine. People moved out after the fire, leaving countless burned artifacts behind, including the remains of sprouted cereal grains. At Archondiko, archaeologists found about 100 individual sprouted cereal grains dating to the early Bronze Age, from about 2100 to 2000 BC. At Agrissa, they found about 3,500 sprouted cereal grains dating to the middle Bronze Age, from about 2100 to 1700 BC. Although the discovery may be the oldest-known evidence of beer in Greece, it is not the oldest in the world, she said.
