I am happy to report that Mrs knewshound continues the tradition by assisting yours truly in the effort to brew better beer.
The fact that she is gorgeous is a bonus for both tradition and marital bliss.
Cheers,

"It's not clear why the shawl pins were on the floor. But the brewery would have been warm from the fires used to heat brewing urns. "Perhaps the heat forced the brewers to remove their shawls, and the pins were lost in the process," speculates Williams.
It's also possible the women left the pins as part of a going-away ceremony."
Now thats utter speculation and not even good speculation. Why, there should have been evidence of shawl dust there too.
I know the author is wanting to do a feel good piece about how important women were to the culture but it could have been as simple as the mens saying "Yo! Get me a beer!"

... before the city was evacuated for unknown reasons. The "real" Incans (Pachacuti, et al) made a habit of conscripting conquered tribes for works projects elsewhere in the empire.

Now that's utter speculation and not even good speculation. I agree. Even the discovery of the sprawled shawl pins (sprawled?) doesn't prove the brewers were women. Maybe the brewers were men, who had some expensive prostitutes in for a blowout before they evacuated.

Let's see -- beautiful women, lots of beer, shawls discarded, shawl pins on the floor -- no mystery here. It's an Inca frat party.

Gotta hand it to the Stones. In their heyday they were nuts!!
To: VRWCmember
The beer was so bad that the drinkers smashed the flasks it was in and then burned the brewery.
