Brewing a Beer Inspired by the Archaeology of Roman Maastricht
Programme
What did Maastricht taste like 2,000 years ago? Find out at the celebratory launch of a new beer, inspired by the archaeology and landscape of Roman-era Maastricht.
The beer is the result of a unique collaboration between Stadsbrouwerij Maastricht, Broeder Jacob from Tongeren, and the Maastricht Science Programme (MSP) at Maastricht University. An archaeologist from the MSP worked with students to develop the recipe, based on years of research into archaeological finds, ancient plant remains, and historical brewing methods.
During this event, staff and students from the MSP and a representative from the Maastricht Museum will share more about the research and the story behind the beer. Naturally, we will also be raising a glass to the final result!
Visitors can purchase and taste this unique beer on-site. There will also be free snacks and some great prizes to be won.
