n5 Lutz, Viticulture and Brewing, 



When Niebuhr visited Arabia, he found the Arabs drinking 

 a beer that was white and thick, being prepared from flour ^ 

 In the subterranean dwellings of the North Armenians 

 Xenophon^ saw jars filled with barley beer. Barley was mixed 

 with it up to the brim. The Armenian barley beer was very 

 strong if it was not diluted with water. One who became 

 accustomed to the taste of this beer found it very agreeable . 

 Old Cappadocian documents * show that during the th<rd 

 millenium B. C. beer was brewed in Asia Minor by the same 

 methods used in Babylonia.
