One can maybe assume that, from a German and European standpoint, compared to all the scholarly research into culture and other scientific aspects of the locale worthy of being published, the mention of a recreational alcoholic beverage was viewed as too trivial, or maybe even reprehensible. It fell to other places and peoples to raise it to a level of legendary stature.
