Somebody should try to get the ancient recipe and brew an ancient Greek craft IPA.

Ha. Who'd have thunk it? I thought they were all about wine or the occasional mead. I do wish we had the actual recipe. I would definitely try it.

Beer first appeared in either ancient Egypt or the Fertile Crescent/Mesopotamia if I recall correctly, and I would guess moved across the Mediterranean with trade.

But 2100 BC? That was super early ancient Greece. Way before the classical or even Mycenean era.

According to Raine Greek civilization started with the appearance of the first Stegosaurus.

Probably some village that worshipped Dionysus

Interesting, in my subjective opinion. Beer was originally invented in ancient Sumeria, at least for the post-Ice Age time period.
