In Bolivia they make a corn beer.
Women masticate the corn and spit it into a crock.
They do put cheese cloth over it to keep out most bugs while it is fermenting.
Nasty stuff.

There is something made in Mexico along those lines. Diastase in the saliva cracks starches into sugars, then the zymase in the yeast goes to work on the sugar. People must really want to drink...
