One of the reasons why Agesearch is still alpha is that it sometimes returns false positives e.g. when stratigraphic terms are ambiguous such as 'Canadian'.
I am testing this by feeding Agesearch with terms which should have no chronostratigraphic context, such as 'beer' or 'pizza' etc.
After it surprisingly turned out that beer does have a stratigraphic context, I formulated some more provocative queries.
The definetely funniest result was Ordovician as the best stratigraphic context for the query 'bible genesis'.
Ha! in stratigraphic terms this would indeed be a good compromise between the creationists and scientists point of view ;).

Eocene beer

Finally I found something on the web which indeed relates geology and beer and is NOT about drinking;)
This blog on Geology News reports about beer which is brewed by 'Fossil Fuel Brewing Co.'. The company produces beer with yeast which was extracted from the gut of an Eocene insect found in a piece of fossil amber.
