Abbey After Dark: Ancient Egyptian Brewing Practices | Mar 20th

Beer in ancient Egypt was a daily staple, ritual offering, and tool of social cohesion, produced in dedicated brewery spaces using distinct ingredients, vessels, and fermentation techniques. This talk combines archaeological evidence with experimental brewing—to explore the science behind ancient alcoholic beverages—to reconstruct processes, flavours, and the practical challenges of making ancient beers. 

Your evening begins with a delicious antipasto selection, setting the perfect atmosphere for a night of storytelling and exploration. After your grazing experience, take a twilight wander through the Museum’s galleries, where centuries of history come alive in the glow of the evening.

Join us for a captivating journey through the past — an experience that shines even brighter After Dark.
