Kvass, as drunk on street corners in Russia:
Or make it yourself:
The recipe: "The first time I made beet kvass three years ago, I was scared to drink it."

Homemade beet kvass nutrition: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calori ... y-14020077
The history:
"In the story of the Scaldic Mead tradition tells that asir and vanir, when they made peace after the civil war, spit into the same bowl. Of this there was a fermentation and hence Kvasir was created. He had the wisdom of both god families (Skáldskaparmál)(Dumezil) He was killed by the dwarfs Fjalar and Galar and his blood was poured into three barrels. Out of this came as well the simple kvassöl (kvassbeer) as the more sophisticated brew in Odrörer, the scaldic mead. In one myth-variant Balðr is borne out of this mead and from there Óðinn got his wisdom, his galders and his scaldic ability after having stolen it from the giant Suttung and his daughter Gunlöd, slipped out in snake-hamr and flewn away with it in eagle-hamr. This mead answers to an Eastern European alcoholic beverage “kvas"."
