This is interesting, but too bad we won't get to try it anytime soon.

Kirin has no current plans to sell “The Old Kingdom Beer” commerciallyThat bites. But why would anyone want beer that tastes a little like white wine? It's cool that it's 4,400 year old recipe that Egyptians drank though...
different from today’s beer,” Kirin spokesman Takaomi Ishii said. “It tastes a little like white wine.”
Worthy of a taste no doubt, but, with the comments above about the high alc % and the white wine comment, no head, about the only thing it has in common with current beers of today is the color. It more so seems to fit the category of a 4,400 year old wine.
I'm willing to bet Kiren will market the stuff. Hey, it already has a great catch line "the 4,400 year old beer", who would not buy a bottle and try it?
Peace Out~
