Interesting. Airborne yeasts. I've had some wild fermented beer and they certainly have a fascinating flavor. I don't care for the flavor of the brettanomyces that comes with wild fermentation.

According to the article you posted, they further stomped the fermented grains with their feet, which I presume introduced some rather fascinating bacteria and such. The modern day wild ferments are interesting in their own right. I'd imagine the ancient versions were fairly wicked in flavor. Lol.
