Archaeologists digging in a 5,000-year-old site in southern Egypt have unearthed 200 rough ceramic beer and wine jars

Thanks Constitution Day. There's a hieroglyphic inscription near this new find. Translated into English it reads, "I said Bud Light".

If there's anything in them, it couldn't possibly be any worse than any Budweiser or Coors made last week.

From research I've seen, the beer jars carried Budweiser incriptions.
