99 Bottles of Beer: Global Brewing Traditions, 2500 BC - the Present Exhibit - Artifacts | October 3, 2009 September 30, 2010 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday with exceptions | 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. | Hearst Museum of Anthropology Sponsor: Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology This lively exhibit goes well beyond beer as we know it today. Along with German steins and American beer bottles, are a stunning Incan jar for corn beer, measuring four feet, ceramic beer cups from ancient Egypt, more than four thousand years old, and a range of cups and flasks for Japanese sake. Drawing from a collection of over a thousand beer-related items, this exhibit of about 130 items focuses on the material aspects of beer production and consumption: objects for brewing, storing, transporting, serving, and drinking. This rich display reveals the striking unities and diversities of human cultures as they come together to celebrate the fruit of the grain.
