Think microbreweries are a new fad?  Think again – archaeologists just unearthed a 5,000-year-old brewery in ancient Egypt.

The facility dates back to 3100 B.C. It included eight sections, each filled with several dozen clay pots that were used to warm grain and water. Experts believe it could have produced nearly 6,000 gallons of beer at a time.

Researchers believe ancient Egyptians used beer during burial and sacrificial rites.

Would you drink 5,000-year-old beer?  Ever brew your own beer?
