Later this month, you can give it a try when a new batch hits shelves across the country.  The Beer Babe blog was impressed, writing that it is <A href="http://www.beer-babe.com/2008/04/dogfish-head-chateau-jiahu.html">“very smooth,” and “not overly sweet.”</A></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/60-second-science/post.cfm?id=9000-year-old-brew-hitting-the-shel-2009-06-05&sc=WR_20090609"><DIV><IMG width="160" height="240" align="left" alt="" src="http://www.scientificamerican.com/media/inline/blog/Image/1447360500_6c290105fb_m.jpg" />This summer, how would you like to lean back in your lawn chair and <A href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=dont-forget-drink-a-beer">toss back a brew</A> made from what may be the world’s oldest recipe for beer?
