THose guys must have been real suckers to get beer a yard up straws that wide. Did communal hookahs come from the same cultures?
Seems to me the bigger discussion should be on how they made those “straws”.
From the pictures, they look to be seamless, they’re very small in diameter and obviously quite long.
in before “this article sucks”
Either that, or guys have been sharing milkshakes with their girl for a lot longer than previously believed.
I read someplace, probably here, that because the beer was unfiltered there was a floating layer of grain husks and stuff on top. The straws got below that to get the good stuff.
Trivia: Maikop was just behind the limit of the German advance into the Caucasus in WWII.
The presence of barley, rather than cocaine, leads to beer being more likely than anything. Strainers within the straws eliminate barley soup as an option.
