The museum describes Egtved Girl beer as "I don't know if it tastes the same as it was in the casket, but it was made by grounded speculation ."

There is a romance that beer, which is said to have been drunk by people for thousands of years, is timeless and can be enjoyed by us living in the 21st century. It may be a good idea to think about the lives and food culture of our ancestors while drinking this beer.
