 Little is known about specific types of beer, but there is mention of, for example, "sweet beer" but without any specific details mentioned.Globular-based vessels with a narrow neck that were used to store fermented beer from pre-dynastic times have been found at Hierakonpolis and Abydos with emmer wheat residue that shows signs of gentle heating from below.Though not conclusive evidence of early beer brewing it is an indication that this might have been what they were used for.
