Oldest Mass-Production Brewery Discovered in Egypt

People have been drinking beer for a long time, and where there's beer, there will naturally be breweries. They kind of go together. But the brewery that was just discovered in Abydos, Egypt, sets quite a record, since it's the oldest mass-production brewery ever discovered, capable of making 22,400 liters of beer at a time. Since we don't use the metric system in this country, a more comfortable measurement would be  just under 190 barrels of beer. That's honestly not too bad, considering this is ancient Egypt we're talking about here. For reference, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore – a brewery of decent size, but not a regional powerhouse like Flying Dog or Troegs – has a 10,000-liter production facility, though I'm sure they have a much more efficient process and could make more in a year. Ancient beer also wasn't the most high-quality stuff in the world. Still, it's an impressive accomplishment, and it would be really cool if some enterprising brewer with plenty of money could restore the ancient brewery. I think it would be quite a tourist spot.
