Ninkasi - Amber Goddess Beer
Beer, this beverage, invented in 4000 BC in Mesopotamia, was created as a result of an error in the fermentation of hops. Beer, then called Sikaru, conquered the Sumerians.

Placed on a pedestal, Ninkasi beer became an ancient statue that has been worshipped for thousands of years. ‘The goddess of amber’ conferred a certain aura on the beverage, making it almost an honorary title. To tell many stories and pass on the recipe for beer, the Sumerians engraved clay tablets using cuneiform writing. The identity takes up these codes with letters that are somewhere between legible and symbolic. The framing of these glyphs evokes the shape of these clay tablets.
