Starch residues in three stone mortars at Raqefet Cave, a Natufian burial site of about 13,000 years ago, led Liu and colleagues to argue that wheat or barley was malted, mashed, heated and fermented there into a thin, gruel-like beer. The whole recipe is a reconstruction from damaged starch grains and lab brewing experiments.

Recipe
No fixed amounts recordedNo recipe survives. The ingredients are inferred from residues in three mortars.
Wheat or barley malt
Inferred from starch grains damaged in the way malting and mashing damage them[liu2018][livescience2018]
Legumes and other plants
Possible additions; the residues held at least seven plant types, including oat and flax fibres[liu2018]

This beer, if it was one, was brewed by foragers from cereals thousands of years before farming, in mortars cut into the rock of a burial cave rather than in pots.
Raqefet Cave was a Natufian burial site, about 13,000 years old, with about 30 individuals buried and about 100 stone mortars and cupmarks. Liu et al. 2018 called the residues the earliest archaeological evidence for cereal beer brewing by foragers. The archaeologist McGovern, quoted by Live Science, asked for other methods to confirm the ingredients and the brewing.
