Oh wait, I had a major fail. I thought you were challenging us to think of things "older" then this brewery and still relevant.

I guess this would explain why German beer trumps just about every other kind on the planet. Anybody got anything better?

@jaimemaldonado45, Justinian I was emperor of East Rome in the 6th century, this beer was first brewed in 1040. So the beer is younger than Justinian's edicts. Unless you meant something different.

@chris - Cool find! However, I still stand by my assertion. I've always been under the impression that Piers Plowman is the earliest known usage of English for literature (instead of French, which was the language used in aristocratic and educated circles - coloquial English was for the rubes). It's my impression that this example is an official use of the English language, which is a category of its own.

It looks, though, like it might be modern English. What I was referring to was middle English. Even more subtlety!
